Baby on the brain x1000
My husband and I got married in May, I am 26 and just graduated from nursing school. I have been wanting a baby for sooo long! It's almost the only thing I've ever wanted but I kept having to tell myself "wait til you get married" "wait til you graduate and have a career" Well now I have done both and I feel like there's nothing else to wait for. I am absolutely obsessed with thoughts of babies! My husband and I have decided that we will start TTC in December and I am going out of my mind waiting! I've actually already started baby registries, lol. I just can't wait until DECEMBER!! It'll be the best christmas present ever!! Anyway just thought I would share my frustration

You do know that baby items go in and out of stock about every 3 months right?
You'd be better off spending your time learning to chart your BBT. GL.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

Resumed TTC 6/2013~Chronic stomach pain and distension: 8/2013~TTA 1/2014 Until Resolved ~7/2014: Trip to the Mayo Clinic--SUCCESS!! Finally on the road to getting better.

Welcome, but please please don't assume you will get pregnant IN December.

I have a little boy already and am thinking about TTC #2 later this fall.
I was super excited as well. I had lists of names and pictures of things I wanted for the nursery. You are right to be excited, it's a wonderful thing.
As others have said, it can also be unpredictable. Charting helped me feel a little more in control (you could even start before you TTC to get used to it).
Be clam and realize that it may take time, but keep some of your excitment too - it's a really wonderful (and exhausting) phase of our lives!
Good luck,
Just remember that the time you spend now with your husband before the baby comes is priceless - we waiting 2 years (until done with school and more financially stable) and I wouldn't trade the last two years for anything...
I'm right there with you! Like PPs mentioned, I started temping and charting 6 months ago, taking prenatals with DHA, getting into great shape and eating really well. I was also telling myself "just wait until you graduate/get married/get a job" and now that all that's been accomplished, I'm just antsy to get started. Even if/when it doesn't happen right away, it will feel like I'm at least doing something to make progress rather than just waiting to start trying.
As for the baby registry, you're not alone! I've been adding things to an Amazon wishlist for a long time just to give me an idea of things I think I'll like or want to remember. Sure, things like particular outfits or bedding will go out of stock/season pretty quickly, but lots of stuff doesn't change. It never hurts to be more prepared, as long as you know that you'll probably have to change things down the line.
