Our background...
DH and I were married for about 1.5 years when he was put on "temporary layoff" from his job. We were living with his parents at the time. Six months into the layoff, we got pregnant in-between cycles of BCP. We moved in with my parents for 2 years, a month before DD was born. When DD was 12 months old, we were suprised with another one (DS). When DS was 8 months, DH finally got his job back (he'd been working on and off with his union and other companies while on the layoff). When DS was 11 months old, we FINALLY moved into our own place again.
DD is 3. DS is almost 18 months. DH and I finally decided we're sick and tired of BCP and what it does to me. We decided to stop preventing, aka TTC... and it's EXHILARATING! It's so different! Actually TTC, not being "suprised". To actually know where we are, what we're doing, and that we are wanting to have a baby. It's so great!
Part of me is very excited, part of me is scared. I'm so worried I've ruined my body with BCPs. I didn't have a problem conceiving DD on ONE MONTH off of BCPs, but for some reason I'm nervous that I won't get pregnant, now that we're ready and actually planning this one!
Anyway, here it is. We're here. We're TTC. And I couldn't be happier!
