Why is it that

I am drawn to blogs by pregnant ladies or those who just had babies.  This seems entirely contrary to what I would think.  Here I am trying to get knocked up and I just want to read about others who are.  I don't think it is envious, because I know we'll get there (yes, I know, it will happen when its supposed to happen, etc).  Maybe its to gather a ton of information so when I do get pregnant, I'll have a wealth of knowledge...not sure I believe that logic...I will probably lose my mind. 

As an update on the trying part.  I have visited my doctor and they are running some tests.  In the mean time, we're doing what we can to get there.

Also, it is amazing to know how many couples have gone through what we are going through.  And talking to them has made me feel so much better.  It seems that all of my closest friends are pregnant or not trying, so being able to talk about this with these other women has been helpful.  However, it seems the "magic" time frame is about 2 1/2 years or at least that is how long it has taken some of the woman I have talked to.  Hopefully it doesn't take us that long.  But being able to talk to them has put my mind at ease.  And I know on a hard day, I have someone to talk to.  And that definitely helps.

Thanks for listening (or reading, which is really what you're doing).

(I tend to not put much about this on here.  We are not planning to share the news when it happens for at least the first 10-12 weeks.  I try not to give you too much information that would lead to timing estimates....Not sure I could lie if asked directly)

Since I'm "one of those pregnant people" it's hard to see posts that make me hurt for others who don't get pregnant right when they want to. I wish it were super easy for everyone. However, it WILL happen- I know this. And when it does you'll be a wonderful mommy. I'm definitely going to do a post this week on pregnancy stressors, so come on over and read that. Maybe it'll make you laugh at how ridiculously crazy we pregnant women actually are!!

Have a great day!
