the first post

there is excitement and a little dread when it comes to creating "the first post". What should I say? How do I start it? Who is really going to read this?

I need a place to spill my thoughts, my fears, my excitement as my husband and I begin this journey, as we take real steps in this big adventure.

We are scheduled to see a Fertility Specialist in a few weeks. I'm nervous. What if it doesn't work the first time? The second time? or ever?
We sat down and filled out or "new patient paperwork" yesterday morning. Answering the TOUGH QUESTIONS - the questions that nobody wants to answer, or admit. The big stuff.

Here is what I was able to learn from my paperwork:
--I drink too much caffeine (that was hard to admit, and hard to put the number on the paper - wow, time to give up my second and third cup of coffee and my afternoon pick-me-up soda)
--I don't know nearly enough about my family history
--I know way more than my husband does about HIS family history (thanks mother-in-law!)
--I now know that I need to track everything (and I do mean *everything*)
--I'm so ready for a little bundle of my own (which I already knew but wanted to add again, for the record)

I'm ready for this. Now... November just needs to HURRY UP and get here so we can get this started!
