Definately - even more so now that I'm married. I do feel a greater awareness of my uterus area (as bizarre as it sounds) and find myself imagining what it would be like to hold a product of 'us'...it can be addictive.
I do work hard to keep myself focused on crawling before running...and after having a child, I understand life moves at warp speed.
Its hard to describe...but its like we're falling in love all over again but on a much deeper level. Its actually pretty amazing....
Kate, I went through that a few months after were were married. Coincidentially, it was right around the time that the wedding stuff had really died down. (month 4 or so). It didn't help that a really good friend of mine was just about to give birth....It was such a physical ache it really surprised me.
Its now 8 months after our wedding. The ache has subsided and is being replaced with a clearer focus on other items. Such as still adjusting to being married! Now that all of the hubub of wedding stuff is really gone, life is reverting to normal but in reality, there is no normal because we're creating new norms - as a married couple. It really requires alot of energy, focus and devotion. Esp for someone like me who has been independent for so long.
So instead of focusing on conceiving I am nesting - in a way. By enhancing and fine tuning my marriage and my home...so that when a baby comes, it will ideally be born into a home that is stabilized and not one that is headed up by 2 adults that are still trying to figure out the rules of marriage. (and yes, i still have dreams...)
