I was just wondering if there is anyone else who is taking the same road as DH and I...
We're both Christians, and we know the Lord opens and closes the womb. We know that our plans may not be His plans, and so we're open to however many children we may be blessed with. We were TTC for 1.5 years before we got pregnant with our DD (8 mos), and we lost 2 babies during that time. During my pregnancy with our DD, we were both convicted about using BC (even through NFP) and decided that from now on, we are choosing not to TTC NOR will we TTA.
I AM charting, have been since 1 month PP, but it's not for TTC or TTA purposes (doesn't really matter anyway, I'm not O'ing yet...even though I've had AF twice). I'm really just doing it for future reference about how my body works post-partum. But we won't use my charts to time intercourse or anything. Of course this isn't set in stone- if we feel that God is leading us to TTA for a short time or actively TTC, then things can change. But for now, this is the way it's going to be.
It's a choice we're happy about and excited to see what the Lord will do in our lives. We would both LOVE big, close families (DH is from one), but we're also okay if our DD is our only one. I can't help but *hope* I'll get pregnant soon, but it's also such a peaceful feeling knowing we're open to any possibility.
So is there anyone else who's decided to do the same thing??

Me and dh were charting and trying to avoid, but we both had a baby on our minds for awhile. One day coming home from work I just thought, why are we avoiding a baby? I talked to dh that night, and we decided right then to throw the chart out the window. We were inbetween with what we wanted to do, so we said that God would give us a baby when we were ready. A few weeks later, here I am about 4 weeks pregnant. It was so exciting to come to that conclusion. We could be carefree, and still know that everything that happens is "Right" for us.
