Sigh..

Well it is already September, this is the month that we had originally talked about starting to try to get pregnant. But after the beginning of the year we decided to start trying early, in case things didn't go as planned, which they haven't. In my head though I was hoping to get pregnant right away, that way I would be done with school by July and then could just work full time at the preschool until I had the baby, then take some time off before finding a "real" job. Well that didn't work out. But in a way I am thankful, now we will have some time to save up a little bit, assuming we won't have to have further testing or fertility help. I did about 6 weeks of OPK's with no signs of ovulation so I don't know if that is going to happen. I was tired of peeing on a stick every morning and having it be negative, plus spending $20 a week on them, so I have decided to stop using them until either something happens or until November when we will start going in for some tests. I still have my fingers crossed that we won't have to do that. Our families think that we are crazy for even considering going in for testing. It is kind of frustrating. They have the attitude that we are young and should just let it happen, and I get that we ARE young but all I can think about everytime I get my reminder that once again I'm not pregnant is the doctor saying "90% of couples get pregnant within the first 3 months of trying." It seems like every couple of weeks we hear of another couple we just found out they were pregnant or just had a baby and it kind of hurts, don't get me wrong I am happy for them but there is still a sting of jealousy, a "why not us?" moment.


Anyways...we have a busy weekend ahead. Starting off with a date night tonight to Cabela's, Fresh Market, and Logan's. Then tomorrow we are heading to Marshall for Jason's cousin's birthday party and Sunday his family reunion.


Have a good weekend!
