So I've been going back and forth with whether or not I was going to share this with the blogging world....but I'm not one to keep a secret for very long. You should see me at Christmas and Birthdays with gift giving. I'm the worst. Any hoo....back to the task at hand. First of all, don't let the picture lead you on, I am NOT pregnant. (I'm such a tease I know) We are NOT actively trying to get pregnant. (Like all that crazy charting your ovulation business) We are however not, NOT trying. Did you follow that?? Yep. That's right. We're throwing caution to the wind to see what happens. It's very exciting and scary all at the same time. I suppose it isn't the best time. (Is there really ever a good time?) There are probably a million reasons why we should wait, but we came to a cross in the road and this is the path we've decided to take. I'm beyond elated right now. Words really can't begin to describe the feelings I'm having. To think at any moment I could be a mommy. Eeek!! I'm not running out to buy any baby gap onsies just yet...but I'm sooo excited to be moving in the right direction!Ok. Enough baby talk for now. I'll let you all know when and if I have a bun in the oven.

Aghhh!! I thought you were going to say you were pregnant!!! Yay for not not trying :) I love babies! And I love people who want babies and love them as much as I do, and I think you do!
Not NOT trying is the best way to start! Personally, I think the idea of temping and charting sounds more like a science experiment ;-) But you gotta do what you gotta do!
yay! coming from a girl who's been activly trying for what seems like ages, Not not trying is the best way to go. Congrats! I can't wait to hear the progress...err, end result.
This is very exciting! I like the approach to just say if it happens, it happens. It's laid back and not so scary like all the charts and those things. Sending good thoughts your way!
woo hoo! that's a great decision, i think. good luck!
I totally thought you were going to say you were pregnant too!!! Just letting it be up to chance is one of the best ways to get pregnant. Or Budwiser according to several of my friends. LOL!! XOXO
OMG totally thought you were preggers already too. hahaha. I've had 6 friends pregnant this year... so many babies!!! Good luck with not not trying... I will tell you thats how 2 of my friends became mommies this year. :)
SOOOO exciting!!
Super exciting!! :) We will begin Not not trying in January! I can't wait :)
Ahhhh...so exciting! I think you're doing the right thing and making it exciting. I will be sending lots of positive thoughts your way :)
How exciting! Good luck with not not trying! We are on a one year insurance count down until we can start the same.
Wow, how exciting :)
And I think that the 'let's see what happens' approach is a great way to go! It keeps the pressure down and things exciting. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you guys!
OMG I squealed really loud when I saw the picture!! You tease :) Good luck with not, not trying!! Sending lots of magic baby dust your way xx
Quite the tease! Good luck with the not not. :)
J and I have also decided to not NOT try in the next couple months . . . it is VERY exciting! And as my mom says, you are never going to feel like it's the "perfect" time . . . but when it happens, it will be perfect!
I think NOT not trying is def the best way to do it! I'm excited for you and can't wait to hera about the results!
Yay! That's awesome. Good luck not trying to not get prego! ;)
you tease!
excited for you two!
i just love babies...i'm not even married and i have major baby fever.
Good for ya'll! I think that's the best way to try, to not actually try, because then the pressure is on :)
DAMN PICTURE!!! hahahaha I got really excited for like 2.5 seconds only to have it dashed to the wind. tricky tricky! Good luck. and have fun with the not not trying! ;)
you are so trying! just look how excited you are. well i wish you the best and i will hope that something happens ;)
yay! my sis is not not trying too! all the charts and stuff puts too much pressure on you.
you are a tease! but i knew better. you would have called me. if i found out via a blog you would have been a dead girl!
oh boy...looks like i have another baby shower in my future. ;) hehe.
good for you, best friend! i'm happy for you. now i understand what you were saying about throwing caution to the wind.
what is with us?! we sign life-changing contracts on the same day AND throw caution to the wind on the same day, again. wow.
i really thought you were going to say you were pregnant!! but that's still super fun and exciting news!
YAY! How exciting!! Great job with the picture. You fooled me! I always read the posts in order, but I read yours first today! haha
Yay! That's so awesome!!!
Same thing here! That's what we're doing, too! Exciting (and scary) and totally wild, isn't it?
What an exciting feeling!! Probably feels an awful lot like jumping out of the plane when sky diving :)
You totally had me freaking with that picture. I was like "if she didn't call me in person, I'm going to cut her legs off." :) Now the question is how are we going to betroth our future children with a 700 mile distance?
Oh how exciting! I completely understand your feelings and your choice! Congrats on "not trying" and good luck!
Oh.my.gosh - don't know how I missed this!!!!
I think this is an awesome way to approach having a baby.....I really do. One of my good friends did the same thing and got pregnant a few months later. It's always funny listening to her response though when people ask if they were "trying"!
Congrats on "not trying"! ;-)
Oh, wow! How exciting!!! Good luck!
