brand new... to everything

*sigh*

wow. here i am. that doesn't seem like a big feat... it's what im here FOR that is a wow. for me anyway.

i have given much thought over the past about 3-4 years and i have finally decided to do something about it. i am going to attempt to become a single mother. by choice.

i am not getting any younger and there are no real prospects out there in the "father" category. i have a great support system of friends and family and i honestly cant think of anything else that would make me more sublimely happy... or terribly terrified (in a great way)

so... my friend J and i have decided to hold each others hands through this as she is taking the leap with me. she was actually the one to bring it up first on a road trip we took and i literally sat there going "oh my god... oh my god... ive been thinking the exact same thing. this is weird." and since then we've talked in depth and have decided that next march we will both be ready.

so *sigh* in march we're going to start TTC. (ive picked up some of the lingo already even!) we've made some other big decisions as well... but all in all this is going to be amazing. :)

but of course now that im here i really dont know where to start. i got a visit from AF this morning/last night so i began charting... but honestly? that seems too easy. if anyone has any pointers, links, suggestions... anything... please dont hesitate to share!

here we go........
