Look! I have a few new followers! Thanks guys! Welcome to my madness! Hope you enjoy what I've got and I'm always open to comments and suggestions for my blog. It is new, after all, and I am always in the market to make it the best it can be. :o)
Okay, so, my news. Sometime in the next year, I will enter into the ranks of "pregnant lady". Sometime. In the next year. Let me explain...
A few weeks ago, my husband and I agreed upon a "5-year plan" for ourselves. He had just done one for himself at work and I thought we could use one. We don't really have any set plans and I thought it was about time to start making some real, concrete plans. Our plan consists of: 1) be pregnant in the next year, 2) buy a new house in the next 2 years, and 3) have baby #2 in the next 5 years. Simple plan, yes, but at least it's a plan, right? Okay, well, we had already discussed offically starting to "try" when we're on our vacation this summer (we leave in 44 days, if you missed my countdown down at the bottom of my blog...no, I'm not the least bit excited... :o)). Well, given my hormonal challenges, we might not be very successful in getting pregnant on our own in a reasonable time, so I asked last night how long we should try before getting on Clomid. First, he says, umm...next summer? That would put us past our "within the next year" mark. So, we agreed on next January, since even after starting on Clomid, it might still take a few months to work. So from July 9 - Jan. '10 we'll try on our own. If unsuccessful, we'll see the doc at that point about getting Clomid and hopefully succeed in conceiving by next summer!
Big step, huh? It's so strange to think I might be somebody's MOM in less than 2 years! Whoa. I think we're finally getting ready for it though. I mean, we have been married 3 years now. And we both turn 27 this year. It's about time, right?
Okay, so this is the first I've talked about it with anyone other than my hubby...so...how did anyone else break the news to family members that you were trying to get pregnant?? Or did you? Or was it a surprise to them until they found out you were pregnant? I don't know how to go about any of this. I'll be the first out of me and my (older) sister to have kids, so I don't know what the protcol is! Help!

Me and my hubby have got a similar plan but ours is more like a 10 year plan meaning we are waiting for a few more years to have kids.
Hi there. You were on Mrs.C's Blog list, and thought I'd sneak a peek. I have 2 son's and the second was a complete shocker. After many failed attempts to become pregnant I finally gave up. My Doctor did warn me that my 1st son would probably be my only child. So when I started feeling sick I thought it was the flu. Long story short, I picked up a Prego test. A two pack with a bonus test just in case. I used all 3. Each of them were positive. An extremely pleasant surprise!
We're just starting to try for kids ourselves...you may have been around my blog long enough to know that by now! Anyway, I've told some close friends that we're trying and my sister, but that's about it. I'm afraid to tell too many people because then I think the pressure will get to be too much, but if I didn't tell anyone, I was going to explode. I am going to buy some tests soon....it's weird for me to think that I could be someone's mom within the next year, too! :) Best of luck to you!
I'm going to send you an email!
