Month One

I'm not really counting last month as the first month trying, because we started so late that I knew it was too late. This month, April, we followed an ovulation chart and now we just have to wait until it's been enough time to take a pregnancy test. According to a chart I found, we should get an accurate reading on the 25th, so we've got a test all ready and waiting for me to pee on.

I've read that it typically takes the average couple a few months to get pregnant, so I'm not banking on it happening right away, but I am anxious to know for sure. We were out the other day and stopped at Babies "R" Us. We decided to pick up a couple of security blankets we've had our eye on. I kept the receipt in case, but even if it doesn't happen this month, it should happen eventually. One is a turtle and the other is an owl. He loves owls, I love turtles. We're waiting to see which the baby will pick. He or she will probably end up hating both animals. I'll post some pictures here so I can always know what the very first thing we ever bought for our baby was.

We also got a Psi band and some preggie suckers, both of which are supposed to help with morning sickness, as a preemptive measure since I've been pretty nervous about it. Most likely I'll need both, whether or they'll work is another question. I didn't want to check out at the store because I know people are nosy as hell and since I'm not officially pregnant yet (or don't know whether I am) I don't want to be asked awkward questions. Chandler didn't think anybody would say anything, but sent me out to the car while he paid.  Sure enough, nosy cashier asked him all kinds of questions, including how far along I am. He just said, "Far enough." and left. He didn't believe me that people would get all up in our business, but they did.
