To fill you in on what's happened so far....

I thought it might be good to fill you in on what has happened so far concerning baby making since that is what this blog is about. I am currently on month 2 of trying to conceive. I promised my husband I wouldn't go crazy with testing and temperatures so early in the process, but I couldn't help but buy my Basel thermometer and ovulation kits. Test strips and temperatures 1st thing in the morning can be annoying but I have always been a perfectionist and tend to have an obsessive personality about things, so I knew I would be doing this stuff eventually so I figured I'd just give into it. I was frustrated with not getting pregnant my 1st month of trying because you hear of all these women who get pregnant the first month or even week of trying, but as a good friend reminded me, you only hear about these stories and not the stories of the women who it took months to happen to so I continue to remain positive and just "have fun" as another very good friend (and new mom herself) has kept telling me throughout this entire process.

Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend....until she wants a baby!!

I decided to write this blog as an outlet for all the thoughts that have been going through my head the last few months. I am about to celebrate my 1st anniversary and it has been an amazing year with my husband. It wasn't until about 6 months into the marriage and I turned 30 that I felt life was missing something though. Unfortunately for my husband, my clock went from a non-existent hum to a very loud and annoying tick! To make a long story short, it took the next 4 months for my husband to "catch up" with my clock and now we are in the process, and very happily I might add, of trying to have a baby. We are in month two of "trying" and even though it was frustrating not being that girl who it happens to right away, my husband as you can imagine, is not complaining that we are going to continue to try for our "Little D" as I have affectionately named our yet to be conceived offspring. Stay tuned for more crazy thoughts from my baby-making mind!
