You have no idea how exciting it is for me to be officially OFF BC! WHoo Hoo! Too awesome! :) I am finding it really hard to even think about waiting 3 months. I selfishly would love to conceive in July. Why you ask? Not because I want to get pregnant right away.. but timing wise it would PERFECT. I am *sure* it won't happen. BUT if it did, it would work out amazingly. I say this because that would mean a baby would come in April. I could take 2 months off and my mom, mother in law and sister in laws could help babysit throughout the summer... meaning instead of putting a 2 month old in daycare it would be a 4 or 5 month old in daycare... not as bad! lol That is my sole reasoning for wanting to TTC in July. I know I shouldn't BUT wouldn't it be grand? lol I guess we will see.
My husband and I go on vacation this weekend.. according to my fertility calendar I will be fertile the week we come back. I've been told and read that you often get pregnant when you are relaxed... ie, on vacation or right after. hmm.... we will see. :) lol wait 3 months... wait 3 months...wait 3 months.... now!

babies?
Having a kid is probably one of the biggest decisions you could ever make, especially as a couple.
Ryan and I always knew we wanted kids. We were just waiting until we were ready and the perfect time. Well, we both have great jobs and big house that needs fillin' lol. So I figured what better time. Ryan had wanted to wait until he found out for sure that his job would be stable. Two weeks ago, he found that out. He got a promotion and found out he'd be here awhile. (Hooray! :)) To me that was IT, babymaking time! Well he hadn't said anything so I didn't bring it up. That weekend we got to meet up with his little sisters, they are 12. We hadn't seen them in 6 months and that has been very hard on us. When we left them and had to say goodbye I cried for the majority of the trip home. That was when Ryan decided to bring up the baby conversation. As if I wasn't emotional as it was. Hearing him say that he was ready to be a dad was the best words I think I've ever heard him say! I was extatic.
Then the reality hit, damn I just started a new BC cycle. LAME. When we finally realized we were ready, I wanted to start this process that instant. But unfortunately it doesn't work like that. I did my research and learned it was better to finish out my BC cycle before and not just stop cold turkey and then start the process. My Dr. said to go off BC for at least 3 months before you even start trying. Are you kidding me? That is a freaking eternity! I am just not sure I can wait 3 whole months. That would be the longest 3 months of my life. So I now have no idea. I am soo glad I am at least on the last step of the BC cycle. NO MORE BC! WHoo HOO! I can't wait for that. Maybe I'll actually loose some of that weight I put on 5 years ago when I went on... or maybe that is just wishful thinking!
So that is where we are now. playing the waiting game i guess. LAME. But what an exciting future. I just hope we will be lucky enough to be blessed with a child someday.

New blog
So I created this blog... for my sanity. Blogging and writing is how I survive some days. I am now going through something that I don't want to necessarily share with everyone I know... but I would like to at least have some release and venting process without telling anyone. :) So I decided, this is it. My husband and I have decided to try to have a baby. This will be my blog about the process, feelings and experiences that I will go through along the way.
