What I learned from lurking & Intro

1)NEVER, under any circumstance ask if you are preggo because first off, it is pregnant (we are not a sauce) and internet strangers don't have magic glasses to see into a person's uterus to tell if you are pregnant.
2) Learn about your body - Chart cycles, temp, and learn from FF.
3)Correct Grammar and punctuation are a girl's best friend on an internet message board. (I know the difference between your and you're. As well as there, their, and they're.) Use it. Love it.
4)Lurk first. Then post. 
Hey ladies! I have been lurking for awhile, but I am ready to officially join. I am finishing my last pack of BCP and will be charting/temping beginning next month. My DH and I have been married for 4 years and have 2 very spoiled dogs (a Scottie and a Westie). I am a teacher and really love my job. It's tough and can be stressful, but it is wonderful to be around children. Last April we bought our first house, so we feel like we are ready for a baby. We are going to be trying for our first child beginning in June. I'm excited and nervous at the same time, but I'm sure this is the case for everyone. I have lurked here and BOTB for awhile and have learned a lot already. I am going through the lessons on FF and will probably read Taking Charge of Your Fertility soon. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you.
