Its wild how bad baby fever can get. That's super exciting you only have a few months to go though! I'm so envious.
Right after DH and I tied the knot both of us had our heads in the clouds and on our wedding weekend said if it happens it happens... now that we're back to reality (and it didn't happen) we know that we're not ready financially for a baby yet and its so disappointing! We probably have at least 6+months until we can even consider trying :(
I can't imagine having a SIL who's pregnant and looking for company too... what torture :)
Just let them know that you aren't planning on telling anyone when you are TTC. They will know when you are about 10-12 weeks along.
Hey all, thanks for the feedback! It's not them asking that bothers me, it's just that I WANT to say yes so bad when they do and can't. I have to act like I don't care. I'm really just having issues waiting and that's just making it that much more difficult :(
Haha--DH's sister has been hinting that our niece and nephew need friends to play with and we should get on that. Every time i get my nails done, the lady and her husband ask if i have any "news" and if i'm pregnant yet. It's sort of become a running joke. I just laugh and say "oh, eventually" or something equally vague. x
@ejs4y8: hehe, that's what I do! Are you guys secretly planning to "get on that" any time soon? I'm curious if anyone else out there is torturing themselves waiting because of their job or other circumstances.
I think job circumstances really put life on hold for most people. At least for us that was the case--his post-military job barely made 30K/year. He wanted something more in line with engineering (that paid appropriately, lol) and he started last week! I just started researching daycare/nanny costs and in-home daycare around here is about $25-$30 a day. So that's another circumstance we were concerned about--we had originally thought it'd be $1500-$2000/month and were planning to save appropriately. I'm going off the pill in June around our 2 year anniversary.
There are always circumstances that make having a kid less than ideal but we just couldn't go forth in good conscience without the details being worked out. Like money, lol. I have told a couple of very close girlfriends (who all know i have endometriosis so it's not like some big shocker). But as far as family and his friends? Nope. But it's not really torturous. June will be here before I know it 
OMG EJ! I have endometriosis too! So are you waiting until the last minute to go off the pill since it's sort of like treatment for the endo? The pill has messed me all up, been on it for 14 years because of the endo, so I'm getting really impatient to go off it, but I want to wait until we're ready for babies to do that.
I'm probably going to need a nanny too, since my hubby works ALL the time. He's usually not even in the same country! I think he knows I can't do it alone though, especially with a dog and four cats too, so we'll just have to scrape the money together somehow. Money isn't even the issue, just that I love my job!
Yes basically. My Dr said DO NOT go off the pill until you are READY. Like, go off the pill, start trying freakin' immediately. I don't know my cycle at all so i'm going to have to go with an ovulation monitor of some kind so I don't 'waste' a few months trying to figure out my cycles.
Have you looked into having an au pair? It might be a good option for you since they are at your house (and more affordable than a nanny-like $200/week). I was just really pleasantly surprised that in-home daycare is so MUCH more affordable here. Seems too good to be true--just something to research a little more when the time comes. I'm excited we have two ladies in our subdivision--one is an asian lady who is a retired kindergarten teacher/child care worker and teachers cantonese to the kids! It's just nice knowing that instead of planning to have the money up front, it's a totally feasible amount to subtract from our monthly income.
A little help never hurt anyone =].

I've been married a year and a half, and every time I talk to a family member or friend and tell them I have "news" or an "update" they immediately ask if I'm pregnant. At Christmas this year my husband's sisters brought it up maybe five times, one of them being pregnant and telling me the baby needs a cousin its own age. I just have to smile and act like it's not on my mind, when I really just want to scream! YES! I want a baby SO BAD and we are so close to being ready to "not try not to" so to speak, that it's killing me. I can't share with anyone, and I can't try early because of my business. I CAN'T be due before November 2011 or it will ruin my business I've worked so hard to build from the ground up, and people will be hurt. How do I make it through this next month or two without losing my mind? Patience is not my virtue. This is also a big fat vent!
