Baby News

So, I went to my first OB/GYN appointment with a new Doctor. No, I am not pregnant but was recommended to go talk to this doctor. She gave me the low-down on what I should do and what I shouldn't do. One thing she did NOT mention was that I was Waaay overweight. She wants me to walk more and get out and do more stuff but she did not mention that I need to lose lots of weight before getting pregnant.

I was blown away when she mentioned something else. The Doc was talking about how to figure out when I was ovulating (who knew the high school health classes would come in handy?) and to make sure DH and I had sex at least once a day during the three days of ovulation. Then she said "Your husband cannot have a bath for at least 1 week prior to this time." I busted out hysterically laughing and just could NOT stop. As I caught my breath, I had to explain to my doctor (who thinks I am really crazy now) that my husband LIVES in the bathtub! DH will take conference calls from his beloved bath and uses it every day to destress from work or just works from the tub if it gets too stressful. She laughed as well and mentioned that wives usually say, "my husband would never take a bath!"

Ah, so this is what is to come.... I will put a large calendar up in the bathroom so we can mark the ovulation days and the no bath week. I am going to have one grumpy DH for a week then he gets lots of sex for 3 days! At least he has to make some sacrifices too!
