(obviously my math is off ;) ). Dh has been studying to be a deacon for FIVE YEARS now and his 16 classmates will be ordained to the Diaconate in May, but dh has to wait until August because you're supposed to be 35 to be ordained but can be just 34 with a year's dispensation from the Bishop.. and he turns 34 in August.  Soooo.... we originally thought by abstaining we'd avoid an August babe (because.. gosh.. I don't know what we'd do then!), but since this babe is due in September (and every baby thus far has been birthed at 41+ weeks), we're in the clear!

Phew! Long story, but I love to share with people ;)

We weren't going to get pregnant this month either. ;-) What homeschool mom wants to have a baby in September?

Great story. Congrats to your dh!

My dh and I are in RCIA this year.

haha! I totally started thinking about the homeschooling thing too! And even though we haven't told our girls yet about this baby (just holding off a bit.. that last loss just really shook me to the core), I did mention maybe doing some light schoolwork through the summer and I swear my girls would have turned me to stone with their dirty stares toward me if they could have ;)

Congrats on being in RCIA! I'm a convert myself (coming into the church at the Easter Vigil mass in 2002 where we also had our marriage blessed and our oldest baptized!)!

Ha! I suggested starting in August so we could take a few weeks off guilt free and I had a similar response from my boys.

We leave things up to chance too. Not many chances were coming up with as tired as we've been. ;) We caught the first postpartum egg and I think that's really neat. I got my BFP on Christmas day!
