Newb intro - long time lurker

Hi everyone! Just a little info about my family. I'm 23, DH is 25 and we have been married for a little over a year. We have the cutest pup in the world named Wilbur!
I got crazy baby fever in January after both my sister-in-laws had babies last year. I brought it up to my husband about starting TTC this August and it has been quite the growing experience with many, many baby conversations over the last 7 months. I've been very honest with my husband about my baby fever, but that he also needed to be 100% ready to TTC as well.
We agreed on this coming January, but now DH has been making comments about surprising the family during thanksgiving or Christmas. I've thrown out Halloween too and haven't gotten a "no that's too early" response. My BC pack ends this Friday and my DH is on a business trip. He comes home tomorrow and I'm considering bringing up the conversation about this being my last pack. I've brought it up the last 2 months about stopping BC but DH disagreed. I'm thinking he might be feeling differently this month.
Any thoughts on how I should bring it up? He already knows about my body needing to regulate and all that good stuff!
Well I'm excited to finally introduce myself, I have been lurking since January! There have been so many more people on the "babies on the brain" thread than ever before so I wanted to join in since so many people will be TTCing soon!

It's a boy!
When I wanted to go off the pill I just kind of told him, no muss no fuss. He asked that I wait 1 more month at that point, and that was that. Now we're using temping and other methods to TTA until Januaryish.
DH and I plan to start TTC next month! We've been waiting quite some time for this and are excited it's finally happening! I can totally agree with you on the baby fever thing. Both DH and I each have a cousin who's had a baby this year (both girls were born 3 weeks apart!), and beyond them...there's at least another 8-10 babies I know of who have been/will be born by the end of this year!
I know at times, it can be awkward starting up the conversation with him, but just bring it up calmly with him. Tell him exactly how you're feeling and see what he says.
My husband surprised me last night with a pint of my favorite ice cream an a Baby Ruth bar to say he's ready for us to make a baby!
My heart was so happy and he genuinely seemed so excited to tell me!
Just starting temping this morning so today starts my journey of TTC!
Good luck to all of us and that our stay is short
