But now I'll get right into it. For the last few months I've been in school. It was my first officially official semester as a student. I was only part time, but it was (is) great. I'm really enjoying my ASL I class and being a student in general, as it's a glorious distraction from what our life has been for the last year and a half. "And how's that been?" you may ask? Well, I'll let you in on a little secret: we want a baby.
Although I've never been one of those girls to go all gooey over a tiny infant being stroller-ed down the street, I have imagined myself being a mother.. someday.. distantly. Then, out of the blue, I met my husband-to-be, we dated for a (very) few months and *bam* we were married.
We started TTC about 3 months after we signed the marriage certificate. I remember the first month being... startling.. DH was a little hesitant about getting pregnant so soon (he was only 24 at the time, but I was a ripe old age of 26 and getting older by the second) but we talked it over and decided to give it a go. When that first month turned out to be a negative, I was stunned. For a long time after that, I beat myself up over my initial naivety but since learned to be kinder to my younger less-informed self.
Fast forward to November 2012 and 25 cycles later. I don't think I could have imagined that I'd have a hard time getting pregnant, but I guess if you had asked me at 24 if I'd ever be married, I wouldn't have dreamed that I'd find my husband at 25. But here we are.
I'm hoping to write in this blog on a pretty regular basis. Just using this to spew out my thoughts and frustrations (oh and happy things too, naturally) and to document this journey. There's more to say about future plans but I'll leave that for another day and at a time when I'm less distracted (we just put on the first episode of the original Enterprise and I've never seen it lol Oh the exciting life we live). Till next time!
