start a family

We did it, we did it! It only took us 2 months, and I am pregnant! (Thank you ClearBlue Easy fertility monitor…) I decided to just start right away with a fertility monitor because of our ages (I am 35, hubby is 40.) I felt that with our ages, it is better to just get the show on the road rather that to just wait and see what happens. The fretility monitor was a little pricey, but worth every penny, I highly recommend it for anyone concerned about how long it may take to conceive. We decided on our anniversary trip in October that it was time, but it was alreay too late for that month. It didn’t work in November, but December was the ticket. Marry Christmas to us! According to my calculations I am somewhere around 7 or 8 weeks. I have my first pre-natal appointment next Friday, I can’t wait! I was kind of superstitious that it on Friday the 13th, but the thought of rescheduling for a leter date is unthinkable. Maybe I will get a good surprise and find out I am having twins! That would be awesome, that means I would only have to go through this ALL DAY sickness one time. I know it would be harder for our first to be twins, but we have some great family and friends around us, and we are established in our careers and financially, so we are in a pretty good position to handle a little bit more if that is the case. YAY!!! SO excited. I will be even more excited once I start feeling better.

My husband told me on the first night of our vacation that he is ready. Such relief, I can’t even explain it… as soon as we got home I made a couple of appointments to see my doctors about what I shoul dbe doing in preparation for pregnancy, and any tips/pointers/do’s/dont’s. I am so excited!
