Trying to Get Pregnant

Oh, I think it's about that time for another newbie introduction.

Hi girls! I've been lurking on here for a few weeks now, so I thought it was about that time to introduce myself! I am 29 years old, and live in Central Florida.  I just got married last month on October 4th!  We had a 1950's inspired retro wedding, and it was the bee's knees.  My DH is 31 years old, and neither of us have any children.  He was ready to have a kid yesterday, though. ;)

Did any of you start TTC right after you got married?  My DH is afraid that he is getting too old, thus the reason why he is wanting to start trying now.  I am finishing up my BCP for this month, and then we will start trying in the next few months.  I mainly just want to have fun, and don't want to get stressed out about the process.  I just want to take it one day at a time and see what happens.  We aren't planning on telling family members that we are TTC, as I don't want it to be the topic of discussion every time I see someone.  I just want it to be a surprise for everyone when we actually do conceive.

To prepare, I started taking pre-natal vitamins (Healthy Mama brand... any of you take it?  It's two separate supplements) and downloaded the FF app.  I also read the newbie blog, and I think I am finally getting the hang of things.  I even made a signature! I hope it works! Haha!

A little about me: I love anything 1950's related... music, clothes, movies.. you name it.  My favorite TV Shows are Mad Men, Parks and Recreation (a part of my wedding vows was lifted from Leslie Knope's!), Girls, and Jeopardy (my DH and I watch it every night... and I dominate the game EVERY NIGHT).  My favorite movies are Say Anything, It's a Wonderful Life, Rushmore, Swingers, and Back to the Future.  My favorite bands/singers are Lucero, The National, The Hold Steady, Ryan Adams, and Otis Redding.  Since my wedding, I started a side, after work job as an event planner! I have 3 weddings set up, and I'm pretty psyched. I love organization, making lists, good grammar, baking (desserts ONLY), roller skating (I used to do roller derby), and cats (I have 2 - a silver Tabby named Memphis, and a Ragdoll / Siamese named Sookie).  

ANYWHO.  I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and reading all of your helpful advice!

  • Congratulations to you, too, @ashleymarie6269 ! 10/4 was a great day to get married, and I'm so glad I've got a wedding date twin on the board with me! ;)  Did you have an indoor or outdoor ceremony? Our wedding and ceremony were completely outside.  It had been raining every day for the 2 weeks leading up to the wedding, and THANKFULLY our wedding day was the first day that it didn't rain. Tons of stress leading up to that day for sureeee!

    Thanks @JennyLynn6785 ! My DH didn't like Jeopardy at first, but he will sit and watch it every night with me in hopes that he can beat me in Final Jeopardy.  He's only done it twice, and I'm sure he lists that as one of his top accomplishments of his life. :)

  • @gonetothesea‌ our day was pretty much the same- rainy all week but beautiful on the 4th luckily! It was pretty cold tho, about 50 and the ceremony was outside. DH and I were find because of nerves (and also no one tells you wedding dresses weigh a million pounds and are so hot!!) I'm pretty sure everyone else was freezing, but the ceremony was only 20 minutes :)

  • @ashleymarie6269 I feel ya on the heavy wedding dress.  The top was sooo heavy, and I was constantly having to pull it up so that my bodysuit wouldn't peak through the top.  And I was constantly walking on the dress.  My veil was cathedral length, and got caught on the wooden stair case as I was getting ready to walk down the aisle.  Luckily, I don't think anyone saw! Haha! I'm so glad that I only have to wear a huge dress and veil only one day of my life. :)  My wedding was in Florida, so it was around 80 degrees, which is nice weather for Floridians.  

    It's so nice to see other 1950's lovers on the board! Kindred spirits! Yippeeeee!
