Well ladies, Erik & I have 4 weeks until our wedding and as most of you know, we have not been trying very long. Only about a month and a week...but due to the amount of stress with the wedding now that it is nearing, we have decided to focus all of our energy and time on the wedding.
I will conitnue to add myself on the daily stats and keep up with you gorgeous and totally incredible ladies. At this time however, we aren't focusing 100 % on pregnancy any longer. We are going to continue to BD and whatever happens, happens. I will however continue charting & temping so you can continue to chart stalk me if any of you even do that but for now, we wont be focusing all our energy on TTC.
I am really hoping that either way we can get pregnant but it is very hard to focus focus focus on baby while trying to plan a wedding! It seems that the stress from TTC is starting to steer our attention away from the wedding details. I will forsure be gone May 5-20th for the wedding & honeymoon (wedding is May 12 2012 by the way).
I wish you all the best and I really pray that you get a before I return(:
As you can imagine I am very sad because I really enjoy learning things from all of you but I CANT WAIT to return to JM fulltime May 21st and most, no wait, ALL of you will graduate from this board!! Best of luck &
Thank you! We have been planning for a year & a half and finally we have 4 weeks left!! I am soo very excited!!!
We are going to Lake Buchanan, no cell service, no computers, nothing, just me & him and country setting all around us!! We have been waiting to go for a while now!
Congrats! I completely understand your choice, and honestly, with the additional stress of planning a wedding (I remember how stressful that was for me!), it's just adding to the wonkiness of your cycles trying to regulate. You are making a good decision. Focus on your wedding, and have a great time...remember to enjoy the day, and have a wonderful honeymoon!

I think focusing on your big day is a fab idea as It will be one of the best days of your life
Enjoy your honeymoon and you never know maybe baby Richards will start its 9month journey before you even get back on here x
You ladies are so amazing! I was a little upset about me not being able to focus 100% on TTC b/c I love sharing the journey with all of you but the wedding is very stressful right now and hopefully things will get better after the wedding.
Thank you all so much! I wish I could find the right word to make you understand how truly grateful I am to know that I have such a great support system here on JM's TTC #1 board!! You are all amazing & I definitely look forward to my return, and I will of course share my pictures with you(;
I think it's a great idea to step back as well, when you're new to ttc it should still be fun and exciting not stressful and the wedding is stressful enough on it's own no extra needed!
Thank you all so much!! I am very excited to marry my 4th grade best friend! I'm going to miss you ladies while I'm gone but I can't wait to return and see all your s!!! to you all!!
Thank you brie_91 for this fabulous siggy!!
