Spilling the beans

So the BIG new thing for 2009 is the decision Chris and I made to actively start trying to conceive (TTC). Yes, Chris is still in school, but the timing just feels right to begin trying. Who knows if we are one of those couples that will struggle? I just don't really want to wait any longer to find out. My clock isn't ticking very loudly, but I definitely do hear it.

It's exciting and a bit scary to admit that we're ready to take this plunge. We've been talking about it for a long time, but it was just understood that it would happen "someday".

I really enjoyed our trip to San Diego after Christmas to meet baby Sean. Lauren and Jesse seem to have settled wonderfully into a parenting routine, and that was very encouraging to see. I feel like that weekend really reinforces what I've been thinking and feeling for some time now. I'm not ready to tell friends and family about our decision...but I'm so thankful to have another supportive network where I can discuss such matters. It makes all the difference. ;)
