What you've missed

I just wanted to start my first blog post by catching up. We have decided to start trying to make a family. We were married June 7, 2008. I orginally planned waiting until the 1 year mark before we would even start trying.

Then at the end of December 2008, Chad and I were talking about his boss Jim asking him about when we were planning on starting a family and such and Chad just told him sometime soon. Well that got our conversation started.

I asked Chad when he wanted to start having kids (mind the fact that I had baby fever so bad, everyone I knew was pregnant) he said he is ready now and wants to start a family right away. This scared me initially because I wasn't sure if I was really ready. So we decided that with that said I would come off birth control pills as soon as I finished my last pack which happened to be the 2nd week in January. So we have been actively trying since then.

We are keeping it a secret from everyone for different reasons, mainly we want it to be a surprise to people when we tell them we finally are pregnant. Also I don't want all the nagging questions of if I'm pregnant yet or not. Sorry mom!

But after the first real cycle I started charting my temps. So this would be our first official cycle of TTC (Trying to Conceive). My chart is completely wanky. It goes up and down and kinda stressful but it will help in the end.
