Hello,
I've been browsing the forum for a little while, finally decided to go ahead and register and post.
My clock decided to sign an alarm saying it was time to have a baby. It was crazy. I mean, the thought was in the back of my mind and my DH and I had discussed the topic at length even long before moving in together, getting engaged, and then married. Then I suddenly woke up one week and thought, "gee, I think it's about that time".
He agreed! We spent some time doing some talking, considering, finances to see if it was going to be this fall or next and we decided on this. We are going to start TTC in August/September, hoping for a May/June baby (I don't want to be in my third term in a Pennsylvania summer!).
I finished my last pack of pills this weekend. I'd normally call the doc, schedule my PAP, and get my refill right about now but I'm going to stay off until TTC. I already walk every day and am trying to eat healthier. I'm going to start taking some vitamins, folic acid, all that good stuff.
My DH seems real excited. I knew he wanted kids, but he's also an engineer and doesn't get all up about things too often. He's spent the day looking up baby books (he likes one from the Mayo Clinic, looks pretty good), strollers, car seats, all of that stuff. He already even picked out his daddy diaper bag, we aren't even pregnant yet!
I'm super excited and can't wait to start trying. I'm also terrified beyond belief. I hope (as I'm sure all Mom's do) that I'll be a good Mom, that I'll make it through morning sickness, that I'll make it through labor, all that good stuff.
Anyway, nice to meet you all and looks like I'll be spending some time around here for a while!
