Before I say anything else, I want to thank anyone who has taken an interest and decided to stop by. This is such an amazing journey, and to be able to share it with other women via the technology of our day & age is a blessing moms several generations back just couldn't count on. It was over the picket fence or nothin' at all. So thank you for sharing this with me.

I'm Erin, and this is the beginning of my journey to conceive a little one with my husband Zach. I'm 24 and he's 22, and we're hoping for our first

I came off birth control at the very end of January, and after being on it for 6 years, I have no idea how long my body will need to fall back into a normal routine! Although I hope it isn't long. There's only a tiny fraction of a chance Zach & I conceived on our first cycle, so I'm just waiting for AF to arrive so we can get down to "business" on round two

I got my TTC goodies in the mail yesterday -- a basal thermometer, pre-seed, and OPKs -- and started charting orally this morning with an even 98.62 degrees. I think I'm probably the only woman around who WANTS AF to hurry up and come! At least this time around.

I'm going to keep this entry short & sweet. I'd love some feedback, so feel free to leave me a note! Otherwise I'll just become completely boring and start babbling about things like how I don't know how to use my new crockpot.
