Baby on the Brain

So  its official, J and I are a TTC couple. Its funny, I was so excited for my business trip this month and it turns out those are my fertile days. J says I’m too goal oriented, I just need to go with the ” it will happen when it happens ” flow but I don’t know if I’m cut out for it. J definitely is much more relaxed and easy going about this. I just want to get the show on the road and move on the the next stage. I’m really impatient and I usually prefer action to discussion and to me TTC is the discussion and I’ve had enough discussion, just give me the baby already. In fact, I think I’m willing to skip that pesky nine month pregnancy stage too.  Alas! It is not to be. 

Life rolls on pretty smoothly for the most part other than that.  J and I have told a few close friends and my parents that we are trying and almost everyone has been super receptive and excited for us. 

Random thought: I found this awesome website called Endless.com that sells shoes and they do free overnight delivery. Yippeee for internet shopping.

From the Hips

I had no idea that this spring was going to be such a busy, life changing spring for me. J and I have been talking pretty seriously for the last year or so about having a child but we had decided to hold off having kids until we left NC and then start having a family. However, this weekend, J and I asked ourselves some really hard questions and we realized that realistically we won’t be able to move away from Durham until December 2009 at the earliest. This then led us to discuss if it then made sense for us to have a baby before we move, especially if we weren’t leaving here until Dec then our start time for starting a family was going to be pushed back by 18 months, which to me would be a really long time to wait. So after much discussion, we made the decision that we are going to start trying now and move after we have a child.  I bought this book to get me thinking about being a mama and I’m loving reading about everything so far, even though I’m super scared. 

Suit Up

As a part of my promotion from last week, I will now get to travel to conferences throughout the country. The first one I’m going to is at the end of the month in Orlando, so to prepare for it I decided to buy myself a nice suit. I’ve had a boring black suit for a while now for interviews, etc, but I’ve never really worked in an office where I had to wear suits I didn’t really have one I loved. So I remedied the situation by going to Ann Taylor Loft and getting this cute one below! I do need to find something cute to wear under though! 

Yaaaay ME!

I got a promotion!!!!
