Baby Journey

Most out there who personally know me, know my husband, Will, and I are trying to start a family.  Who would've thought that when you want kids, its actually a hard thing to create.  I mean teenagers and stupid people procreate all the time without even wanting to, but when smart people like my husband and I want a family, it takes a lot of time and heartache. 

To be fair, we have only been trying for 5 months.  That is not a long time compared to some couples who have been trying for years.  But it is a long time to me.  I can see 30 approaching way too quickly, and I don't like it.  I'm not afraid of 30 persay, but more afraid of giving birth after 30.  I want to do this naturally; I do NOT want a c-section.  For some women that is the right path, but I do not want that to be our path.  I turn 28 in 2 weeks.  Sure that's still 2 years away from 30, but I have to spend 9 months of that cooking the little bugger before I can give birth.  2 years is not a lot of time. 

I know we would be great parents.  We both had some pretty good examples of what to do and what not to do.  But first we have to get pregnant.  I promise we're trying.  Really hard too.  I'm reading every article I can about how to get pregnant, how to ensure conception, which days are best, when I'm most fertile, etc...  Since I'm not pregnant yet, I can't help but feel like a failure, like I can't provide this family we imagine.  Again, I know it s only been 5 months and I shouldn't let it bother me so much, but I can't help it. 

That's all I have for now.  I feel like I'm about to start crying, so I'm stopping.
