The Nest

Ugh, so much...STUFF!

First I have to say that I feel incredibly guilty worrying about these little things in life knowing that there are people at Virginia Tech that have it harder than any of us will ever know.  My problems are NOTHING compared to theirs.  With that said, I still need to get this off my chest.  Whew, all this "stuff" makes everything so difficult.  How do 17 year olds get surprisingly pregnant from just one time without a condom when people who want to have kids take their temperature, check for cervical fluid, chart, have sex during ovulation, and still can't get that baby?  It just seems like a lot to worry about when I just want to plain old have sex and get pregnant.  I could go that route, but I just don't feel like waiting 2 years for that positive test result.  So surprisingly, even though I've always said I'd just let it happen however it happens and not do anything to increase my changes of getting pregnant, here I am reading TCOY, buying a basal thermometer, and printing out a chart off the internet for recording all this new information.  This is so unlike me.  Chris and I originally said that we would never "try" to get pregnant, we would just not prevent it and be happy if we were so blessed.  Yeah, that went right out the window as soon as I took that last NuvaRing out.  Chris can't stop talking about babies.  He wants it now, I can tell.  And I'm certainly not getting any younger...I'm turning 29 in 4 months.  So I guess you end up doing what you gotta do to make that baby happen.  I just might be in denial about it and say I'm charting just so I know when to expect my period!!!  Speaking of that, not knowing the exact day my period is going to come is going to kill me.  After 13 years on the pill/ring and knowing exactly what day to have tampons in my purse, I don't think I'm going to handle well the idea of surprise bleeding and ruined underwear!  Gross, TMI, I know.
