Just Starting!!

Yay!! My 1st blog post!

Today is March 1st. Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 6 months since I've been married! Craziness! It's amazing to me how much preparation goes into a wedding and then it's all over. Buh-bye. Now, you're married and done. I love it though, let me tell you. I just feel good being married to such a amazing man. Okay, no more wedding talk.

I've started this blog for 1 thing only....getting pregnant and what comes with it.

When I was younger, I remember being so scared of getting pregnant and what I was going to do if I did. I was very careful when I was young and never had a OOPS moment. I was on birth control for 8 years and it was fine at some points but not so great at other times.

Now, here I am, 27 years old and ready to start a family! So, my husband and I stopped using protection right after the wedding. We've heard from so many other couples that it takes awhile for you to get pregnant when you are trying. That just annoys me. When people are ready to have children, it takes them such a long time and so many treatments and testing for ovulation blah blah. But, when you are not ready, it happens. WHY?? I'll never understand.

So, I've had some issues with my period ever since I stopped taking birth control when I was 22. Very irregular and annoying. But, I didn't care when I was that age. It was actually pretty cool  not getting a period that much. YES!!

Well, now that I'm ready to have kids, not so cool. It's extremely stressful having to find out when you are ovulating and what your temperature is when you first wake up. I never in a million years thought it would be like this.

But, it got me to thinking (and why I started this blog). All of the hard work and books that I have read will have payed off in the end! I feel there's a reason for everything. Try to think positive and not worry so much about anything really. It will be fine.

Yeah, that's what I try and tell myself. Some days, it works great. Other days, I get pretty depressed about it. It is what it is. Ha another annoying phrase.

Well, to end the blog, this is our first cycle of us trying to get pregnant. I'm ovulating from now until next week so wish me luck! I've heard it takes about 3-6 cycles to get pregnant, but we shall see. And I've heard sex for baby making purposes is so much fun too. Ha. Fun times ahead!!

P.S. Im sick right now too so that is just the icing on the cake. This pic is pretty much how I feel right now. Ugh.

Thanks for reading!
