I have been working on DH to start TTC our first for a long time now.
I have major BOTB and have been taking prenatals, just started charting this cycle.
We had a big discussion last weekend: that I am ready now, and that while he still has lots of questions and concerns (he is the biggest "planner" I know), he would think about it.
So this weekend, after a week of my hiding my copy of TCOYF to avoid freaking him out, and trying my best not to bring it up again quite yet, HE did! I was thrilled.
He said he's excited, but that he had just never thought he would have kids this young ("young?!" I thought to myself... "you're 28!"). However he has been thinking about it more and more, and will be ready to start TTC this year.
He wants us to both get checkups first (I agree, of course) and I could see him working out numbers in his head, as he asked me to find out what my company's Maternity Leave entailed, etc.
I expressed that my ideal would be to start TTC next month. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, and of course it could take months for us to get pg, but I am so happy I could burst.
I am having a hard time concentrating at work today!
All I want to do is start Googling OB's in Austin to start looking for a doctor to have my pre-TTC appt with!
Re: So happy I don't want to say it aloud!
Aw! Erin! How exciting! DH keeps bugging me to start TTC, and I keep telling him - house first, baby second. We're putting in an offer tomorrow, so that kind of scares me! lol
I'm so excited for you though! GOod luck and have fun!
