Brian and I are trying for a baby. That’s right. Mr. & Mrs. Maybe never, are sure. We’ve been discussing babies since September of last year but decided to wait until after my best friend, Nikki, got married.
And she did… and it was AWESOME.
We flew to Maine that Thursday and stayed at Village by the Sea in Wells, ME. It was beautiful. I was reunited with my girl and we were off to set up and make things perfect. And they were.
A few hiccups for the rehearsal… like the groom forgetting his vows at home, fixable… and the runner not being picked up, also fixable… but stressful to a type A bride. Luckily it all worked itself out and come Friday, May 22nd… the weather and everything fell right into place.
Nikki looked stunning and Andy was smitten which makes for amazing photos.
It was a truly amazing night and I was sad to leave but knowing she returns in July makes the goodbyes a little easier (though tears, and lots of them, still fell).
Alright… back to the baby train.
So after her wedding we pulled the goalie… and my first ovulation cycle post wedding was set for the week of June 4th. We didn’t “try” too much or put too much pressure on ourselves and in 9 days my period is set to come.
I know they say when you think you could be, you psych yourself into symptoms… but IF I am… I am certain I experienced my first case of food aversion. Brian and I were making hamburgers this past Sunday (the 7th), I opened a can of Busch’s baked beans... once the can was opened, I could hardly be in the room. I thought they may have gone bad but Brian assured me they were fine and ate them. I went to bed dinnerless. Appetite gone. Aside from that I am a little tired-er than usual… that could also be from my decision to quit drinking diet soda a month ago, or the weather change. Don’t want to
put all of my eggs in one basket yet – get it?
I’ve been avoiding alcohol and all things on the “DON’T” list for when you’re pregnant between ovulation and when/if I get my period. Just to be on the safe side.
I have been taking a prenatal for 4 months; Brian has been taking a daily multivitamin and recently switched from boxer briefs to boxers.
We’ve also began prepping for a baby by working more with our dogs on keeping them off of furniture and beds so that they won’t be in the baby’s business all the time. Pending a positive pregnancy test, we plan to start getting them familiarized with the scents of a baby. Power. Lotion… and the sounds. Cries. Giggles. Since they are our babies now, I want to make sure they’re ready too.
It’s fun to talk names and ideas and I think we’ve talked most things out thoroughly. Seeing a positive is something we are both ready for, but jitters and nerves still accompany the excitement. Our whole lives could be changing in 8 months.
We shall see.
