Fun Conceiving
Adventurous Conceptions!
My husband and I made love in broad daylight in a ditch at a train station. We took off our sweatshirts and laid them down in the ditch and jumped in!
People on buses could ride by and see us. By the time they realized what we were doing, we were out of sight. Nine months later, Ryan was born!
We were at our favorite restaurant, eating our favorite meal and talking about our favorite subject -- the baby we wanted! I think it just must have been telepathic or something, but half way through my prime rib and his fettuccini, we ended up in the ladies room! And the best part -- besides our dinner being still warm when we got back -- IT WORKED!!! Our next pregnancy test was POSITIVE!!! Now we go to that restaurant even more often, but just for the nutrition and memories! :) Of course!
My fianc瞨at the time) and I are somewhat religious, but not over the top. My sister-in-law is over the top. In Edmonton, Alberta there is a radio station called Shine FM. She entered a contest with them called "Dinner for Two From Calgary" and won. So, my fianc矡nd I got flown to Edmonton, put up in a hotel and sent out for dinner with my husband's sister and her husband.
Well, it was so funny because Denise and Dale (sister-in-law and husband) came to visit us in our hotel room which had only one queen-sized bed, so we were obviously sleeping together before we were married. And not only were we sleeping together before we were married, on this Christian station's dollar, but we managed to conceive our first child that weekend! See, naughty can be so nice! I have since suffered a much grieved miscarriage, but I'll never forget the weekend; it was wonderful!
