Crazy!/ Intro!

Hi everyone, 
I have been lurking on a few of the baby boards for the past year almost. Today was my last day of BC so we are officially starting our TTC journey. So I figured I would introduce myself and get a bit of insight. We have been very excited to start TTC, and just bought a house Nov 1st so have been doing a bunch of renovations, but things are starting to calm down:)
Was just wondering how everyone else felt when they officially started trying? Some moments I am super excited and can't wait for the BFP, other moments I am somewhat terrified that this is actually real now and I hope I will be a good mom. My husband says he has the same thoughts so hopefully I'm not too crazy lol

  • Thanks everyone! Its so weird, I was soo excited and had really bad babies on the brain for months and months, and now that its actually time, having feelings like that were so confusing lol but I'm glad most people seem to feel the same way at the start of everything. Hopefully it doesn't take too long, but from all my lurking, I know the outcome doesn't work out how you plan usually. so we will have to wait and see and enjoy the ride:) For now I can love on my two furbabies :)
  • Welcome! And you are totally not crazy, it just means you are thinking fully about your decision. It's a crazy ride!
  • Welcome and good luck!  Your feelings are completely normal!

  • Hmm tried to add a picture, I guess that didn't work lol

  • @LittleMonkey1, what do you have? What are their names?
    Sometimes on mobile I have to add the picture through attach a file, before I type anything. That is the only way it will upload.
  • I'm on my regular desk top.. it just keeps saying uploading... but doesn't do anything. 
    Either way, we have two ferrets, our girl is Charlie who is a year and a half, and our boy is Blaze who is a year old:) Charlie is light brown with the classic mask, and Blaze is mostly white with some silver on his back, tail and head :)
  • Gah! I love ferrets! My aunt had two when I was younger! They are so cool!
  • they are really awesome! we might be getting a third soon:) They have been described as ADHD 2 year olds lol so I guess I'm getting my training in!! (Don't worry, Im not one of the crazy ones who actually believes that)
  • Welcome! I hope your journey is short and sweet! Lots of luck!

  • Welcome! We haven't even started TTC, and I already go back and forth between not wanting to wait and being paralyzed with the fear that I'll do it all wrong. It sounds like what you're feeling is perfectly normal. I hope your journey is short and sweet.

    I've never been able to upload a photo to the Nest. The only way I can do it is to copy one of my pictures off of Facebook, or off the internet, and paste it.

  • Welcome and good luck! Your feelings are totally normal! Even after years of ttc, I STILL have moments of "OMGOSH are we really ready for this?!?" I think excitement and nervousness can go hand in hand! Best of luck to you!

  • Welcome! Your ferrets are adorable!

    I agree with all the PPs; your feelings are totally normal and expected. Knowing you could become a parent at any time is both incredibly exciting and really scary. GL on your TTC journey; I hope it's short!
