my husband and i got married in June '07. we knew we wanted kids and wanted to started pretty quickly, considering we want 6 kids total, so we decided to leave it up to the Lord. so we weren't trying to conceive, but we also weren't trying to not conceive. then at the end of feburary, when i was supposed to have my AF(which run about 48 days apart), it didn't come..the pregnancy test said negative, but still no AF. i took another HPT the other day and saw the tinniest bit of line, but i'm still not sure if that counts..

March 20, 2008 - AF is officially 3 weeks late, so i'll take another HPT within the next few days. no health insurance, so i'm at the mercy of the HPT's....hopefully one will be more gracious soon...

March 23, 2008 - BFN but AF is 3 week, 4 days late...this is so annoying...the state needs to hurry up and send us the insurance info..ugh, i hate dr's, that's why i was planning on getting a midwife..man..this sucks =(

March 24, 2008 - Well since there is no AF and the BFN yesterday, my husband and i decided that we would wait till the next time AF should come (April 15th) to see if i just skipped, and if i'm late on that period and we still haven't gotten a BFP, then we'll figure out a way to pay for blood test, or hopefully have figured out a way to have insurance by then. I know a lot of dr's want to wait on the blood test till you've missed your period twice, so might as well wait. In the mean time, I'm still gonna take my prenatals and watch my blood sugar real careful (i'm hyopglycemic and if I let it drop by not eating often, it can harm the baby), just incase I am pregnant, better to be safe than sorry, right? Anywho, maybe if I'm not, we'll get it this time, and by the 15th I will be ;-) the tryins fun anyways, haha..

March 25, 2008 - Well we got the midwife referral we have been waiting for, thank goodness, and she has a website, which was very helpful. I feel so much more at ease. I mean look at all the stuff she does: pre-pregnancy consultations; pregnancy confirmation; prenatal care; labor and delivery at your home or The Birthing Inn (Tacoma’s only freestanding birth center); breastfeeding support; and a full 6 weeks of postpartum care. So instead of having to go to the dr's if I'm late again, I can go to her, which is great news considering I'm scared out of my mind of dr's. I guess i didn't realize that midwives took care of all the same stuff as dr's. ohh i'm excited. We contacted her through her website and explained our situation, so now we're just waiting for a response =)

April 3, 2008 - Still no AF, 5 weeks late today. Still no BFP, although I'm not testing near as often cuz I just figure the hpts hate me..lol. We found affordable insurance and are going to apply for it when we get our next pay check and then set up an appointment with the midwife. I still feel like I'm pregnant, I had to get a bigger bra and looser pants yet I've only gain like 2 pounds over the last few weeks..anyways, I could go into the symptom list but that would take too long..so anyways, the long and the short of it is that I'm still pretty sure I'm pregnant..but we'll know for sure soon anyways and I'm not worrying as much about it, just living..it'll come in His timing so there's no reason to worry..

April 5, 2008 - Well, AF came about 3 hours after my post on the 3rd...5 weeks late, unbelievable...i feel a tad bit foolish, to say the least...

April 10, 2008 - So I'm definitely frustrated..i had a 3 day AF, that's it, 3 days! my AF are typically 6-7 days..what the crap? i try to just keep reasoning with myself, saying that my body is just being weird and i just had a short cycle, but we BD 2 days before AF came and i can't get the questions out of my head about what if that was implant bleeding or something weird like that..ugh, i'm just frustrated...and my temp still hasn't gone back down to what it normally is either..this is just dumb. i just want to have a family, is that too much to ask for?

May 15, 2008 - (Here's the update) Well, I decided last month that I needed to just calm down about all the baby stuff, cuz I know it'll come when it's the right time, not to mention, getting all stressed out about it will make it less likely to happen anyways. So my hubby and I are doing great, we just moved into a 2 bedroom apartment on the 27th and got a good reliable family car last month..not because we thought we were pregnant, just so that we are prepared for whenever it does happen, plus the car and apartment are nicer than the ones we had before and it's such a blessing to have nice things.
My hubby just celebrated his one year at his job, which is so awesome (he has 80 hours of vacation now, what a concept!!) and we are almost done with the first year of our internship. We've decided to continue on and do the second year, which will start in September, we get the summer off =)
We're still hoping to start our family soon, but we're not trying extra often or worrying ourselves about it, we're just enjoying being married..we celebrate our first year of marriage on June 1st!!!!

June 6th, 2008 - Well, my body's freakin out again, i was 2 weeks late on wednesday. i figure it's just all the stress from moving and the internship coming to a close and our hectic schedule as of the last few weeks cuz i definitely did ovulate. anyways, i'll just make sure i post when i start, lol. =) baby dust to you all!
