Pearl Jam onesies give me a sence of urgency! :D

I got home tonight and since my Pearl Jam Message Board is blocked at work I can't really get any of the updates...

I was pleasantly surprised though to see a post by Santos announcing the brand spanking new additions to the Goods Section on the Pearl Jam Fan Club webpage. Onesies!!!! I've only waited for official Pearl Jam Onesies for like almost 10 years?

Now all I really need is get a BFP!!!! :D

...oh and btw if you'd like to get these for your little one you can purchase them Here
(in the "Other Wearables" section).

The 2WW is certainly the longest *sighs*

Well, I guess we can say that we officially started TTC on the month of May, we were planning to wait until June, once we had come back from our summer Pearl Jam shows, but there was an unexpected change of plans and according to my OPK , I got a + on Sunday morning May 25th, which means we have a very good chance of having conceived earlier than we were planning to.
This has got to be the most draining wait ever though, I am now 9DPO, it feels like I have been lingering on the same day for that past 3 days...

I have decided to wait until CD33 to test and see what happens(I'm currently on CD28...this is cycle #1 TTC so I don't want to get overly excited at the thought that we might be expecting again.

I go back and forth though on whether I should test sometime this weekend or whether I should hold until the weekend after **sighs** we should be able to find out whether you are or not pregnant the minute it happens or it doesn't IMO!

The wait in between the "O Day" and the "Testing Day" seems like an eternity when all you wanna know is if you will be getting a BFP..

For now I'm going to gather up all of my patience and keep on counting my days down....

Before we go any further....

This will be my first time actually planning to have a baby...

Most of us would think, "well, how hard can it really be?"

I found out that when you are actually planning it, you gotta TCOYF what that means is that now I have to take my temperature, chart my cycles, take OPK's, etc ,etc in order to recognize all the sings and time everything to perfection so that I can finally get that BFP!

When I started my research on the internet I was as confused as you probably are unless you are too TTC and are familiar with the million acronyms there is on the subject.... well since I will probably be using them as well as we move along in this journey I picture I'd give you a list of the most common acronyms...

Urs,

Mourning is ok...

Starting a new blog has been particularly hard for me this time around.
I've never had a problem putting down in writing what I think or what I feel, but after our loss on April it was hard to talk about it at the beginning and I found it even harder to be able to put it in writing.

There isn't much I can say about it, it was all very sudden and unexpected. The whole experience left me feeling empty and helpless for a few weeks....it was one of those situations where you are part of it but can't do anything to change what's happening around you.

Mike and I weren't really looking into expanding our family, as 3 boys already seemed like enough, but we welcomed the idea of being parents again when we were told by the Dr. that I was pregnant again. Needless to say losing the baby hit us both really hard.

I'm really happy to say though that we have decided to TTC again and go with the flow and hope that we will be holding a new member to our family sometime next year....
