this whole trying this is hard

it's hard to try to get pregnant. with arie we didn't even have to worry about it. it just happened.... but with this we have to figure out how everything works. it's just so much more complicated. i have to start taking prenatal vitamins and figure out when i'm ovulating and work with our schedule and try to figure out when i would be due based on when i would get pregnant and take care of arie who is teething.......man.......it's just one thing after another. the more i research the more i find i need to do. i feel like i just shouldn't research anymore, but honestly i can't help myself!! i just really want to know as much as i can so i can succeed at this. it's hard to think we might have to be in this state of anticipation for over a year.....and even harder to think we might get pregnant sooner than that and have a miscarriage. i just wish it was much easier than this, but i guess everything worth having is worth working for........but man i wish it was easy!!!!

in other news, i started prenatal vitamins today!! still taking my regular calcium and fiber, but switched from multivitamins to prenatal. hopefully now people don't raid our medicine cabinet and constantly think i'm pregnant!! 8)

but i have to go get ready for bed. i was just feeling overwhelmed by all the work that is involved in this that i felt the need to vent......here's to hoping we are one of those incredibly blessed people who get knocked up right off the bat!! i would love it if we could just get pregnant this month and have a healthy pregnancy!!
