The Dilemma of 2009 and 2010

Yes Yes, we are still in 2008, I know. So why am I stressing about 2010? Well, I will tell you!

Mark and I have been married for 5 months next Friday. Almost half a year! Time has FLOWN! (On a side note, I'm ALMOST done with my Thank You notes, I'm a terrible bride) Any who, now the next question we get almost once a week is "when are you going to have a baby?" I think we get this question because we have been together 5 years so we're not your typical met, dated a year, and was married a year later for a total of knowing your husband/wife a total of two years.

Well with my "girl issues" that I've had for over a year now, I'd like to have a good idea about when I will need to stop my BCP and when I will need to get my pre-OBGYN checkup and all that good stuff, not to mention I want to loose 10lbs before I'm Pregnant.

So here's our dilemma....... The original plan was for me to stop taking my BCP on our one year anniversary. Then we will start trying around October-November of next year. This would give us a June-August 2010 baby right? That's a great time! I will be 24 and Mark will be 27..We will be married 2 years...together almost 7.....Great right? WRONG!!!!

In August of 2009, Amanda and I are going to go to San Diego. We are making it a point to take a trip once a year together if not more than one. This year we went to NYC! So okay, this trip is right before we start so it will be okay.

New Years going into 2010.....Amanda and I are going to London. We were going to go this year but Mark and I decided to go home for Christmas, but Tech might be in the National Championship! Can't miss that! OKay, this could be a problem. What if we are pregnant by then? That would pose a problem of flying across the world 6 weeks or so pregnant. So we can fix that problem and push back trying to December and I should be okay.....and that would give us September baby. Good Right? WRONG!

Mark has two best friends. Craig and James. Both of them are planning on getting engaged this spring or summer in 2009....Giving them Summer 2010 weddings. See the problem? Oh yes, that would make me a lovely 6 or 7 months pregnant. PROBLEM! Not only would I be freaked out to fly but there's a VERY good chance of me being in on of the wedding seeing as she's my college roommate and I hooked her and her bf up. We do know for a fact that Mark will be in both of the weddings if not the best man of both of them.

My frustration lies in the fact that I hate to put our family on hold for something like a wedding.....but with us living in Pennsylvania and these weddings being in Texas, We may have to put of baby making until April or May of 2010 which would mean a January baby which would be a BAD idea in Pennsylvania.

So do you think I'm TOTALLY over analyzing this situation? I'm sure that I am! My solution? I just don't have one!
