So I must confess I was a little disappointed when AF showed her face on Sunday. I can't tell hubby- he'd freak, babies scare the crap out of him. He's an only child and the youngest of all his cousins, so he's never really been around babies. I'm a former NICU nurse so I can't get enough of little babies. He wants kids they just scare him.
We decided to pull my IUD a month before the wedding and let what happens happen, but it was slightly disappointing. I had to tell someone, so I thought you guys might lend me an "ear"
Re: Confession
i know how you feel... DH and i are not ready AT ALL for babies, I'd like to at least be living with him first. we're planning to wait a year before trying, another reason to wait the year is for insurance reasons (i can get on short term disability which will pay me while i'm out on maternity leave).
but when AF came i had those mixed emotions too, sad that there was no baby, but in my head i'm screaming, "we're not ready yet!!!!" haha it's so confusing

So AF came during the HM big disappointment and she ruined things but whatever. She isn't expected to show her face for another week or so but honestly I don't want her to. We aren't TTC just yet mostly letting what happens happen like most of you ladies. And we aren't planning to try until around our 1 year for insurance and life issues like timing with other things we have going on. But honestly I would like things to happen sooner and I would LOVE to find out now.
Plus I am dying to have the first baby in his family. So far NONE of his cousins have had kids and I want so bad to have the first one but there are 2 other cousins who just got married or are getting married soon and at least 1 of them wants to have kids soon.
H and I cannot have children...but this is a recurring thing with family and friends who are recently married. They talk the big talk...we'll just wait to see what happens -- but then when AF comes for a visit I have them calling me almost in tears. I think this is such a weird time in all our lives that you're not sure if your coming or going.
Hang in there girls. I know it will happen for each of you when it is supposed to. I can't wait to hear all of you when you start announcing pregnancies!!!
AF= Aunt Flow= your period.
Honestly, when we found out we were pregnant a few weeks ago (our first month of 'trying'- I use the word lightly- we were trying pretty casually) I was a bit freaked out. I never imagined it would happen that quickly. I really was hoping for a few months of trying- enjoying the summer with cocktails, enjoying a few months of 'us' and being married, getting into a house, etc. I think we all want what we don't have. Don't worry, you'll get there soon enough. I am so excited for you to start announcing your pregnancies!!
