Since this my triumphant first post, I am never sure if I should just jump right into it or spend some time introducing myself :P I think I will do a little bit of both a long the way!
This is my 3rd month of TTC and I know I should really learn patience but I am fairly convinced that it is impossible. I stopped taking the pill in the beginning of December 2013 and knew that the 7 years of taking it previously would slow things down a bit!
I am 26 and healthy (enough, I don't exercise but I will get onto that later!) and figure my chances are pretty good. The last 2 months however, I haven't had any symptoms. I was so busy with Christmas and my wedding on January 25th that I didn't have time to sit and dwell like I am doing right now.
Since the end of the last week I have blown up like a balloon and have had sharp cramps. I am hoping all this discomfort is a good sign! Richard (my hubby) says I need to stop looking at my stomach like I am 6 months a long already, but honestly I am amazed that my stomach could feel so huge 8 dpo.

But beyond my TTC journey, it is yet another sunny day in the south of Sweden! I am an American ex-pat living in a small town outside of Malmö and generally haven't put much faith into the notion of an early spring....but snowdrops are pushing their way up from the ground and the birds have been non stop!
My 6 year old son Liam was home with us yesterday for an eye check up (all good and healthy!) and we went to go look at Bugaboo prams in Beba Barnbutik. I had a look at the Cameleon, which was my first choice, but the owner of the shop pointed me in the direction of a brand called Joolz!

It is also a Dutch brand, like the Bugaboo, but less expensive and a bit more robust. Not to mention beautiful! I completely fell in love with the new Studio Collection design. I think I was swayed. And I haven't even taken a pregnancy test yet. Talk about being prepared!

Today is a big day as it is new Smart TV day, which will hopefully spark the tradition of family movie night. This has been Richard's big obsession lately, along with the new sound system so I will definitely keep you updated on all of that! I for one will spend the afternoon at the salon. It's been 6 months since I have had my hair cut and I sort of cut my own bangs last week....which now desperately need to be sorted out lest I walk around town looking like Garth from Wayne's World much longer!

That's all from me this Tuesday! Tomorrow I will update on the new TV, new hair, and symptom spotting ;)
