Tools of the Trade

September 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

So cool, even at 36 my body still does something right!

For those of you who know me I am a planner through and through.  I look for any gadets or tools that help me stay organized and on target no matter what I am trying to do.  With the introduction of ovulation kits, I couldn’t help but buy one just to monitor my body to determine my most fertile days.  Every morning I wake to take the test and see a double line.  And morning after morning I see nothing.  Until yesterday …

WHAT?  Two lines?  I better buy some champagne, oysters and chocolate covered strawberries because the time is NOW!

The Decision

August 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Eric and Chandra on Pont des Arts Bridge, Paris

For nearly all couples there comes a time when you have to determine when you are ready to start a family.  Eric and I have both always wanted to have a child but for me I was never in a hurry to start the family thing.  Now, at 36 years old I have to face the facts and realize I don’t have another ten years to wait.  If I want to have children (yes, plural) then I need to start thinking about making that choice.

Recently, Eric and I decided the time is right.  We have traveled, we have good, solid careers and the home of our dreams.  The next step for us is to fill that home with a couple of children and begin living our second lives through the eyes of little ones.  The decision to have children is not an easy one.  It’s easy to say to “I want to have a family”, not as easy to actually make the commitment.  Still, here we are, late August of 2011 and we can finally agree — the time is right!
