I'm not feeling great today and I didn't take a prenatal last night. It feels a little like cramps, but different and more persistent. What on earth is this body trying to say? I did take the first prenatal tonight however, so we'll see if I feel bad tomorrow too. If so, I can blame it on whatever my issue was today and not the prenatal so I don't get a mental issue with the prenatals.
My copy of What to Expect when you're Expecting arrived today too, so I have something to read since it covers some of the preliminary things you should consider and do.
I also discovered last night that Cryogenics Lab, which was bought by Fairfax Cryobank, lets you see photos etc for free! So, that's kind of cool, I can "shop" there and put off purchasing access for a little while longer. I know already I need to get on the obgyn's calendar and I need to hit the dentist, so I've got some things to get out of the way in the near term.
I'm a Mom. After years of desire and uncertainty if the day would ever come here I am. Follow along on the adventure..

Another apprehension
Sunday nights I refill my daily pill holder. This week, now that a cycle is over, will start me on prenatal vitamins on Tuesday. I'm a bit nervous about them as I've heard people complain about nightmares and other odd things occurring after they started prenatals. I guess time will tell.

Planning around a vacation?
Ok, they say if you wait until everything is perfect to have a kid you'll never do it, but... but...
There are some factors at play here. While I was away at my sister's over Christmas we realized that my sister was 18 when I was born and I was 18 when my niece was born. Well, guess who turns 18 next February? C'mon, how cool would it be for my plans to play out that she's 18 at the time?
The complication comes from the desire to go on this one awesome cruise. I've been planning on canceling my Alaska cruise that was slated for this August. That was originally a barrier as you cannot be more than 6 months prego when you cruise w/ RC. So, I could have easily started right about now trying to get prego, but would want to wail til May-ish to align w/ my niece's 18th birthday. With that cruise coming off the plate I am seriously desiring one that is in Sept 2012. Now, the kids daycare on board is for at least 6 month olds. Following me?
So, when are good times to manually do the deed?
To happen when niecey-poo is 18: May 1, 2011 - April 15, 2012
To not be past 6 mths prego or under 6 months post for the Sept 2012 cruise:
before June 1, 2011 or after April 1, 2012
That gives me one try in May if I want to do it this year. No pressure to decide, is it? *bites lip*
