ME!!
I was talking to a few ladies who know I'm TTC and told them what I've been feeling lately and they all encouraged me to test, so test I did.
So I'm waiting for the test to develop, 2 minutes later I look at it. No second line. Oh well, better luck next month, then I put it down and walk away.
Well, an hour and a half later I walked back into the bathroom and looked at it again. 2 lines! What? When did that happen? I asked my friends in the know what they thought and they recommended I take another test. So I did. First Response has a pretty good reputation, and they're pretty cheap so I grabbed myself one. Lo and behold, a second line comes up.
Yes, after only one month of trying, I AM PREGNANT!!!
The man thing is so proud of himself. He's strutting around saying "I never miss!"
Men huh lol.
Keeping it kind of quiet for now. Only the online friends I have know.

And so I'm back...
From outer space...
Well, it feels like it at times anyway.
It's been a little while since I've updated, I hadnt actually realised just how long it HAD been.
Well my man thing decided not to go for the job. It wasnt reliable hours and at the moment we would NEED reliable hours. At least we know he can do the job anyway.
On the TTC front, well according to the charting website that I use, I'm 14 days past ovulation. Cant say how accurate that is seeing as my temps have been all over the place lately. Cant help I missed a few days either *blush*
I found this blog Simple Housekeeping and it's awesome. I'm really keen to give a lot of the things a go. Theres all sorts.
I'm also interested in eating more whole foods, but with the budget the way it is at the moment, it may be a bit trickier than I had hoped. Well if I actually get my ass into gear and sort out this home based childcare, then we would have a little more money coming in.
Anyway, that was just a short update on where we are at the moment. Looking forward to updating more regularly :)
Ciao for now

Interwebs
My internet sucks. I'm still on this crappy 52kb dial up modem. Thus, my internet access is really slow and annoying. It's a real pain when I'm trying to watch something on YouTube or play Frontierville on Facebook. I would upgrade to wireless broadband but we cant afford it at the moment. I'd love to see the day that we CAN afford it.
OH!!! My man thing got himself a job! He's at training for it now. It's only delivering pizzas but its better than nothing. Get us off this stupid benefit and all. This means I really should get on with sorting out the house for the Home Based Childcare thing I'm wanting to do. With us getting off the benefit it just means that any money I earn can be saved and stuff like that. I'm hoping to save up a bit for when we do get pregnant again.
On the TTC front, we're not exactly keeping track of everything but I am on day 11 of my cycle. I'm not expecting to ovulate until about day 21 or so, so theres a good 10 days of regular sex. Hopefully.
I had a tarot card read for me the other day and it pretty much said either we are going to get married, or have our first baby. Well, we're not looking at getting married for another 3 and a bit years yet so it's looking like the second option. BABY!!!
Sometimes I do still wonder if I'm really ready to be a mother, to have a baby and all the responsibility that comes with it, and then I think about how excited I was when I found out I was pregnant with Antony and I KNOW that I want a baby and all it entails.
Right, now off to do some of the chore I've been procrastinating about for the last few weeks *blush*

Whoops!
So its 11 days until we start to try to conceive our baby and my man hasnt been very careful with his testicles. Last night he put a hot hot water bottle on them, so I'm hoping he hasnt cooked the next 75 days worth of sperm. That's 2 and a half months. Lets just hope that theres still enough life left in those poor little cooked buggers for them to swim to mrs eggy.
Been taking my temp every day for the last 4 days now. On Cycle day 5 and things are starting to sort themselves out.
Thyhe man thing and I have given up on the precautions and are just letting things do their thing. If it happens this month (or more likely in the beginnings of next month) then all good. Awesome. Wicked. If not then we have plenty more time to try!

Day One
Well I am quite happy to have started myself a new cycle, just in time for TTC in 2 weeks. Looks like we will be starting to TTC right when I should be ovulating. Hopefully.
Wouldnt that be awesome. First month of trying again. Not getting my hopes up too far but last time I stopped taking my contraceptive pill, 2 weeks later I had my period and 5 weeks after that I got a positive pregnancy test.
As my man thing says, he never misses.
He was so proud of himself last time, lets hope that this time he's the same. Strutting around lol.
So my Fertility Friend charts say that my cycles average 38 days long. I usede to approximate it at 35 days, or 5 weeks. Seemed pretty consistent, although that was when I was taking the contraceptive pill. Maybe my cycle is different when I'm au naturale?

Baby Making
So theres now 20 days until my darling fiance and I can try for another baby. Believe me, the waiting is excrutiating.
I have dabbled in the mystical arts of temperature charting, mucus observation and ovulation prediction, with poor results. I'm the person who forgets to eat breakfast until lunchtime, so I find it damn near impossible for me to remember to take my temperature every morning before I get out of bed.
I am reconsidering my stand on trying to temp, but until I actually get to the first day of my cycle, theres really no point.
For charting to work, I will need to change my entire routine basically. Currently, I go to bed and go to sleep whenever I feel tired. Whether that be 9pm or 2am, it doesnt matter. Theres no routine to it. I must make a routine. And actually stick to it...
So for now, until I can find the willpower to make a routine and actually stick to it, the baby making plan is just have sex when we feel like it, as often as we feel like it, until we either get sick of having sex (yeah, like thats going to happen), or until I get pregnant. Lets hope it doesnt take me very long to get preganant.
