Bit by the Baby Bug

Lately I've felt like I've finally been bitten by the baby bug. After talking about where we are with our finances, jobs, emotional readiness, etc, we have decided to start TTC in August. I don't want it to consume my life yet, but what little things could I do to satisfy this feeling?

Would it be too ridiculous to subscribe to parenting magazines or read a pregnancy book??

We have also decided to start TTC in August!! Maybe we will be able to go through this together!! I don't think there is anything wrong with reading up on new baby stuff and educating yourself before TTC.

That is true, GhostMonkey, I never thought of that. My baby is perfect and I'm the perfect parent....in my head I THINK I have it all figure out since I've been a teacher for 8 years....but I'm sure it will be SOO different than I expected. </p
