So. Here it is.
Bob and I are officially trying to have a baby. I went off birth control
30 days ago today. We aren't telling anyone, which is possibly the
hardest thing ever to keep quiet. And if/when I do get pregnant, holy
balls! How am I going to keep that private? I'm usually an open book... I
mean WIDE open.
I have a pretty big issue when I hear someone is under 12 weeks pregnant
and they're telling everyone. I've had too many friends who have
suffered miscarriages. I can't even imagine going through that myself,
much less having to deal with having to tell other people I lost a baby.
It just seems to devastating.
As of now, I haven't started my period yet. According to the Triage
Nurse at my gynie's office, this is normal, especially considering that I
took my birth control pills continuously (for over a year) so I
wouldn't have a period. Life is funny that way. I've spent years not
wanting a period and now, I'm impatiently waiting to start one.
So far, I've taken 4 pregnancy tests in the last month. Each time I've
taken one, it's been a let down. Even Bob has gotten excited about
anticipating the results. We need to just slow down, take life as it
comes, and patiently make a baby. As the triage nurse today said, "No
pressure and don't stress, but have as much sex as humanly possible all
the time." Mmkay. I'll get right on that as soon as I get my husband
back in town!!
