Re: oh dear God.....
Not to sound like a mother hen but...enjoy your time alone now with your husband. I was pregnant by my first anniversary and as much as I love my children, I wish that my husband and I had a little more time alone together before we started having kids.
I don't know how old you are, but don't rush it!

I gave birth two weeks after my 1st anniversary and while I LOVE my son - I probably would have waited a few years.
Enjoy the alone time. Once the baby comes, you will never have a cheerio-free space again!!!

Re: oh dear God.....
Well, since we've turned to the "enjoy your marriage" talk, let me say that I gave birth three weeks before my first anniversary and I wouldn't change a thing! Things changed way less than I thought they would, and those thigns that did change have been for the better. Without a doubt. Sorry to hijack. But I'm not guilty of being the first one

Okay ... Mother Hen #2 checking in. I love my children more than anything in the world. They are the reason I get up each morning with a smile on my face. With that being said ... I applaud your desire and want to become pregnant. Motherhood is wonderful and I'm sure you will be a fabulous Mom. However, I would encourage you to enjoy your time now with your husband ... travel ... do anything and everything you want to do before committing to having children. It is the greatest joy and the greatest responsibility in the world. Your life ... as you once knew it ... will change completely. Your time is not your own and the things you once enjoyed doing (hair, nails, etc, etc.) will all take a back seat to that beautiful little baby. Your days, nights, weekends and any and all plans will be dictated by that little person. If you are lucky enough to have supportive people around you to babysit and give you some time to yourself, then that will be great. However, I (along with many other Mommies I know), do it all ourselves and have little to no time for just "us."
I'm sure there will be many responses to what I have to say ... but ... this is my honest opinion.
Just enjoy yourself now. Motherhood will come on soon enough and you will experience those selfish moments just like the rest of us ... wondering why you can't just get "1 good nights sleep" or just "a couple of hours to yourself to regroup."
Like I said ... having a baby is the GREATEST JOY in the world and the BIGGEST RESPONSIBILITY you will ever have! Just be 100% sure that you are ready ... you will know when the time is right for YOU!
All the best to you!

I also gave birth about 2 weeks before our 1st anniversary and let me tell you, I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our love. Yes you're tired, yes you're nails may not be done but that will all come in time. Eventually, the baby sleeps through the night and you have time to run out once in a while. I do agree though that I have much support from family and I couldn't imagine how hard that would've been without that. My hats off to you that do this all by yourself.
Emily, I'm pretty sure you have support around here.....I say go for it!!!! Good luck and keep me posted. Eventually, we can take our little ones to a yankees game together
