Trying for a baby

xxmadsenxxI somehow forgot to post about this. Probably because I've been so busy the past week with work, getting Evan and B ready for school, etc. Just a lot of stuff going on. Anyway...
Jenny and I are officially trying to have another baby. She went in for a post-surgery check up on Wednesday, and her doctor said that she has healed beautifully and should have no trouble conceiving within the next few months if she wants to. Supposedly fertility is especially high within the first six months or so after having endoscopic surgery for endometriosis. I don't remember the exact time frame, but it was something like that. Jenny said she went to a pregnancy/baby message board and found a thread about conceiving after having surgery for endometriosis. She said that a lot of the women who posted in that thread said they were able to conceive shortly after the surgery and carry the baby to term with no problems. A few of them got pregnant almost immediately after having the surgery, and quite a few others conceived in two to four months. She told me that she spent quite a while reading the stories of other women on various websites/message boards, and that reading about all of the success stories made her really hopeful and optimistic.
I'm not expecting Jenny to get pregnant immediately, but I think there's a good chance that it will happen pretty soon. I hope it will. Evan was unplanned, before she had problems with endometriosis, so we didn't go through the whole "trying to get pregnant" thing with him. Actively trying to have another baby will be fun. I'm excited about the whole process of trying to conceive...no complaints from me about all the extra sex! Haha. We're going to be in full-blown attempt mode now. Jenny already bought a few of those ovulation test things. So we're good to go.
I think now would be a good time for us to have another baby. Like I said in my last entry, Evan is about to start kindergarten. I don't want to wait too much longer, because I don't want there to be a big age gap between the two kids. Ideally, I would have liked them to be about three years apart, but obviously that wasn't possible since we weren't together during that period of time. Plus her endometriosis probably would have interfered then, too. Who knows. Anyway, we both think that now is a good time to try.
I have been "baby hungry" (for lack of a better term) for a while now. I love Evan to death, and I'd be happy with just him, but I'd really like to have another one. Becoming a father was the best thing that ever happened to me. I absolutely love being a dad. I'm really looking forward to having another baby, whenever it happens.
Wish us luck!
