So I'm changing the reason for this blog. Originally I was going to use this to blog about my life as a Medical School Mrs. The ups and downs of having your significant other going through such a difficult, yet important, time in their life and how I dealt with it. Well we reccently decided we were going to start trying to expand our family. I have been dealing with a lot of different emotions lately as trying so soon has come as a big surprise to me. I thought this would be a great place to write everything out since I know the road is going to be a bumpy (litterally - hopefully!) one. In this post I am going to do about a 3 week rewind to get you up to speed.
Back up before December 17th. Scott and I have been together since we were 16 years old. We knew back in high school we were going to grow up, get married and have children. We knew we both wanted 3, 2 boys and a girl. We have pretty much agreed on everything regarding having children except for one very important step... when to start having them.
We are both 25 this month and to me that is a big point in life. I had always said I wanted to be a young mom. I would rather have time when I am older and maybe more set finacially to spend time with my husband. I mean heck how we are living now - I'm not able to enjoy all of life with him until he is out of school and then theirs residencies and so on. We finally decided around the time we got married that we would like to start trying after he starts his 4th year of med school so that I would be due right around the time of graduation. We had operated under this thought for the last 2.5 years. I always joked that we should try but it never changed his mind. The past summer 2 of his friends from school and I are were talking about when to start. School had said December would be a good month to get pregnant if you were trying. So I liked to bring this up to him just to kind of mess with him but it never changed anything.
Now that you have a background before December 17th I will explain what has happened in the last 3 weeks. December 17th was the night of our Ugly Christmas Sweater Party. We had the 2 girls mentioned above over before the party to exchange gifts. They mentioned to me that Scott had said we were planning on starting in the spring. This was total news to me. So we started talking about making a baby more then we had ever discussed it in the past. So for about a week we operated under the impression we were going to start trying in March or April. But as you can see it didn't take long for that thought to turn into let's try now!
So for the next (only god knows) how many months I will be sharing with you my excitement and struggles along this very awesome journey!
