Yesterday a client told me she was pregnant, and I was shocked. Why? It was an unexpected announcement for me, as she is engaged, but the engagement only took place after the pregnancy, which was an accident, of course. Today, Kourtney Kardashian announces her pregnancy. Again, accident. I think her line was "Sometimes I forgot to take the pill." And I haven't seen "Keeping up with the Kardashians," but from my US Weekly subscription, I'm pretty sure she is not ready to be a mom. Top it off with the rotating facebook pregnancy announcements and baby pictures, and its starting to sting. And I know I have just begun this process, and it will sting even more if we are TTC 2 years from now, but still.
DH and I got married very young-- I was just barely 25, and he was 26. As friends around me started to have children, I took it as a point of pride that we were waiting. DH had to finish business school, and I needed more time to get my head around the idea. Now that we are ready, both emotionally and financially, its no longer a point of pride. Kind of a point of sadness.

Yeah, I know what you mean. You're so close though - for us, ovulating is huge! I firmly believe that you'll be pregnant before the end of the year, most likely even before winter...
