I have a couple friends from college that live here in Jax and are pregnant. Michelle is due 12/30 and Leonie is due 1/2. Yesterday, Leonie found out she was having a boy. This was not the outcome she was hoping for or expecting but is coming around to the idea. Today was Michelle's big US but her husband is out of town for work. So, she asked us to come with her. What an amazing experience. I am so blessed to have been a part of this day for her. I started to tear up when the tech let us hear the heart beat. What a miracle, plain and simple. As the tech moved her hand around, we saw what was most clearly boy-bits. The tech said he was "well endowed" which made Bill beam through the phone. The baby is perfect.
I can't even express how grateful I am to have been able to be there today. It makes be realize that much more how much I want to be a mother and just how incredible the process of pregnancy is.

been a while
So, the cycles are starting to get down in the low 30 day range. We ditched the condoms last month (wahoo!!) so I guess that means we started trying last month as well. At first, I thought the timing was right now. But, as another week went by, I realized I had no ovulated when I thought I did. Too late to really "try" at that point but I have to admit that the first 2ww (2 week wait) was crazy. I was the crazy nest girl who over thought every little twinge, cramp and spot. I tested several times and got good at peeing in a cup. Had 8 days of spotting followed by 3 day period. Not a fan of the 11 days there...
Onto this cycle. Its on!! After my period, we are on the every other day method until Im sure I have ovulated. Now, for some TMI, Jeremy and I are not the sex that often kind of kids. We are getting really good at the practice (LOL) but lord, this is a lot of sex for us. Last night, he proclaimed that "Im sure they boys got into the birth canal that time" and "if those boys don't find an egg, there isn't an egg to be found!" I love his determination.
So far though, we are still having fun with the process and aren't stressing about it. I dont think sex under pressure to conceive would be so fun. We will give it another few months until I start using the ovulation predictor kits.
On the job front, Im actually looking now. I started really applying in late June. Still not sure what I really want to do so I apply for anything that looks interesting. I need to get something soon though so we can be more comfortable getting into a house.
I'll be sure to keep you posted on this month's 2ww!
