January 8, 2000

Hello! I am soooo very happy to be here! I have been waiting very patiently. I am at work just typing away right now. I am a shift supervisor in an emergency communications center as a police dispatcher. I have been working here for over 3 years now. My husband is a carpenter. We are right now starting a free-lance art business. I am very excited about how our life is going right now. We are starting an art business (our dream), we are getting along great, we have a cute little house, and we both are very happy with our jobs right now.

My family is very supportive about our decision to have a baby. Actually, they are VERY excited about our decision!

To be perfectly honest, until this month, I have cried and cried on my DH's shoulder every time Aunt Flo came for a visit. This month, I have decided that I would try not to think about and not even TRY. Just have fun.

I am very tempted to run to the drugstore and buy an ovulation predictor. Maybe, start temping. We just didn't want to have to come to that. We would like to keep it natural, loving, and passionate. Of course, we will if we have to.

Last night, I was rocking in my rocking chair and DH said to me, "Soon you won't be rocking alone in that chair." I said, "What? Don't you get in this rocking chair with me. You'll break it!" He just laughed and told me that he was talking about little Isabel. It made me feel so good that my DH wants this just as much as me and thinks about it too. The only difference is that he wants one and I want twins! He is a twin and says that his mom and dad went through a lot with him and his sister. Whatever, he would be sooo happy if the doctor said that we were having twins.

Well, I will write again later. Again, thank ya'll for giving me the opportunity to share all of my trials and tribulations of TTC. +++++ vibes to all of the future parents TTC!!!!!!!!!!!
