Happy New Year!

2011 has been a pretty good year but with us selling the condo and getting pregnant, 2012 is going to be even better!


I hope everyone has a very blessed and safe New Year! I hope all your wishes and dreams come true!

Temps going up!

One of my fears (I have many, I'm very neurotic), is having a chemical pregnancy. Getting that positive test to only lose that baby a few days later, breaks my heart.

So I'm going to keep temping till my first appointment, and maybe even past that. I've been doing it everyday for 6 months so I'm use to waking up at 6:30am on the weekends and days off, temping, recording it, and going back to sleep. I'm sure as I get further along and the exhaustion kicks in, I'll stop!

Just another picture!

Because it's always fun to see the word you've been waiting years to see!

O...M...G!!!!

Well, our first month of trying worked! I didn't want to test this early, I really wanted to wait till Saturday (New Year's Eve) but we got an offer on our condo last night, a low offer, and the only way we would accept it is if we were pregnant. So I tested this morning and that 2nd line came up within 30 seconds. 


I got in the shower still in shock! I was trying to think how I should tell J. I walk in the bedroom after my shower and J says "You're pregnant aren't you?" I was like WTF! I said "why would you think that?", he said "You are aren't you?" and I said yes! He pulled me on the bed and we hugged, talked, and just sat there in silence for awhile soaking it all in. I know how lucky we are that this happened so quickly, but it also makes me very nervous. 


I'm going to kept testing the next few days to see if the line gets darker. Then maybe this weekend I'll go get a digital. I really want to see that "pregnant" come up!


Wow, the last 12 hours has been a roller coaster. I guess we should get use to it huh?!

First Official Month Trying!

So December 2011 has become our first month official trying for a baby. I have to say, it's really weird trying when after so many years of not trying. Actually planning for that week I ovulate instead of preventing. 


J says we will get pregnant the first month of trying. Oh silly boy, you have no idea what kind of a journey we could be in for. I just laugh it off and say "we'll see". It's helpful that I've been charting since July, but that just tells me when I do ovulate, not if there are any other issues. 


So I think our timing was good and I did have significant ovulation pain on my left side the day before FF said I did ovulate (which was at my parents house in WI to celebrate our Christmas. Thank God we took care of business that afternoon before we left!).


I won't be testing till New Year's Day, that'll be 14 days after ovulation and if I am pregnant, it should show up for sure and we'll be a great way to start 2012!
