Well I am 32 years old about to be 33 in November, my husband is the same age, he recently finished school and got hired on at a great company so this helped toward deciding it was time.. think my husband was just ready to impregnate me lol but I had wanted a baby for the longest time, I have been waiting until he felt it was right. So being I’m out for the summer from my job and we spent may getting me clean from cigarettes, I’m not a drinker so that’s not the issue. June I didn’t do ovulation tests, we just decided to try as much as we could until my period, which was late brining it to a 45 day cycle. Yes 45 days. April 26th period day to June 8th. I have always been this behind or late because of stress and overweight so I wasn’t sure how getting pregnant was going to work out for me. After that cycle I did clearblue ovulation, all predicated dates by computer or even the damn app it came with were wrong, I ovulated 7/2-3, did the business around midnight on the 2nd once didn’t show any more ovulation days and started testing for pregnancy 10 dpi, it showed negative 12 dpo and around 11 that night it showed a positive. I had been taking these tests so often I wasn’t really expecting that clearblue digital test to say PREGNANT, so glad I did that test for the positive because seeing those tiny little words was so magical. Came to my husband who was playing a video game and asked if this could be real? The smile on his face was perfect, he asked is it right? I said I wanted to go to the store to get a million more just to make sure, so

he urged me to the store to get more. Had to see the positive in every brand I could, just to make sure. And it was, I could see all the positives. I’m scared, another reason we always waited this long. Scared of the birthing process, scared of elements around me and what I put in me could harm the baby, scared of being a bad mother. But the only thing I know to do is to go forward and trust that everything will be okay. This is such a big adventure, the next we were planning, I am thankful that it has happened for us when so many other families are struggling, and I continue to hope and pray that my baby remains safe. Good luck everyone, a solution can always be there even if isn’t the most ideal one, keep your head up.
