I don't want to get my hopes up

I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mother and nothing else. Growing up I didn't have dreams of being a Dr or anything else because I just wanted to be a mom. It took me until I was 24 turning 25 to get into school because I still didn't know what I wanted to do in life. 
I am now 27 about to graduate to become a preschool teacher and I love what I do. Me and my SO decided to start TTC this summer when he's home from his out of state job. 
This is soooo exciting for me! It's hard not to start to buy baby things. I do so much research because that's all I can do while I wait. I don't want to get to involved and excited just in case it takes me a long time to conceive. 
I was on birth control for 9 years and a month ago got off. I haven't yet started my period so I'm a little worried. I know I've heard it can take up to 3 months! 
I'm just trying to not over think anything. It's hard because I have a 9 month old niece, every time I'm with her it makes me want one even more!
