So, it's like, daily drama all up in here for me.

Back to the work thing - I'm contemplating applying for a job at another company, because i am sort of unsatisfied with my current work. If I did that, and got the job, I wouldn't want to take maternity leave for at least a year, which at first sounded scary, but after doing the math, that would put us TTC around August/September, which was what we were sort of planning anyway. Not so bad. Call that plan A

But then DH suggested something. I had thought about this, but i didn't want to push my luck with him, since he's been so convinced that he's "not ready" yet. But he brought it up! The proposal is this: TTC now-ish and stick it out at my current job for the next 9-10 (or whatever) months, then go on maternity leave. If the work situation has improved, take a long-ish but normal leave and then come back. If it has not improved, leave the company at that time and get a new job after a nice long leave (1yr, even). Call that plan B.

AAAAAAAHHHHH!!! DH was talking about TTC NOW!!! Unfortunately, like I said in my last post, I did, indeed O on monday (or sunday maybe), so the eggy is gone for this month. Fortunately, that gave me time to think some more. We have a trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong booked for May. Though I don't particularly have a problem with travelling pregnant, Malaysia does have malaria issues. And though my research shows that there is an anti-malarial prophylactic that "hasn't been proven harmful to a fetus," I really would rather not subject my baby to drugs needlessly like that. Like I said, I could use a few months to get back into shape before baby-making anyway.

So last night i presented my research to DH and proposed that in the case of plan B, we wait to TTC until after the trip. He said, "Yeah, I think May would be okay. We could start on the trip, even!" (Ahhh!!) So we decided to pursue plan A (apply for this new job) and if I don't get it, go with plan B.

The thing is, now that TTC had been moved up to May, I find myself increasingly attracted to plan B, and strangely enough increasingly motivated at work. It doesn't seem so bad here all of a sudden. ;o) I suppose we'll see if that motivation lasts. But if it does, we may be on track for TTC in May. AHHHHHHH!!!

Stay tuned for the next chapter of drama...  :oP
