Title: Shhh.... It's A Secret!
Monday, October 19, 2009
Melissa + Josh = Baby Bosley! Well.... not quite pregnant yet, but we are going to start trying! No it is not August 2010, but we are changing the "master plan" from August 2010 to now! As everyone knows Josh has been ready since he said "I do", but I wasn't ready to be on that band wagon just yet. It wasn't until this past September when it just hit me. Summer was finally whining down, we had been settled into our home for a month, and life is GREAT! Baby fever hit me.... hard! So one evening Josh and I started talking about having a baby sooner rather than later. I truly wish I could have captured his face when I brought this up. He was ecstatic with the thought of us trying to get pregnant in a month! Thrilled beyond control! The biggest smile ever! It was a great husband and wife moment.
Well it has been a month and as Josh says "it's time to make a baby!" We are so excited about starting a family. I have known for a month that we were going to start trying and it has been killing me to keep it a secret. We like the idea of everyone to be VERY surprised especially our parents. People ask us all the time when we are going to start a family and I keep telling them not until August 2010 when we have been married for two years so the idea of us, more me, straying from the the plan will be a huge surprise for all! Currently the Bosley home is full of pregnant wishes and talk.
Though I can't share this or any other pre-pregnant blog just yet. I still think it is important to write about our experience because this is an important milestone and exciting time in our lives!
Title: We Really Don't Mean to Lie.....
Monday, October 26, 2009
Yes, right now we have started trying to get pregnant, but no we are not telling anyone. So when people ask us "when are you guys going to have kids", we simply tell them next fall! Or our favorite line is "We will have them if you are willing to pay for them". It sucks fibbing to everyone, but we really do want to surprise everyone and we really don't want the questions of "are you pregnant yet?" So until we are officially preggos we will be telling white lies!
Josh is too cute about this whole thing! When we talk about being pregnant or a baby he just smiles so big and sweet! He truly is thrilled to become a dad. This may be too much information, but it is funny. When we decided to start the process of getting pregnant I told Josh we need a calendar to keep track of the "details". What did we end up with? His John Deere Tractor calendar from down in the garage! Every time we "try making a baby" Josh goes over to the calendar on my dresser and puts a gold star on the date. Yep, you read that right, a gold star! So you are probably wondering where the gold star comes from. Well Josh was looking at the calendar one evening and made the comment we needed gold star stickers to mark the "baby making dates" instead of using a pen to make a star. I just happened to have gold stars in my crafting supplies and it now we have gold star nights! Ummm... yes he does go over and put the gold star on the calendar as soon as the deed is done. I am so glad and thankful that he is very involved in the process (obviously), but aside from that he is knowledgeable about the whole thing. He knew that at day 14 to day 20 is when I am most fertile. Where does all this knowledge stem from? Well his AI (artificial insemination) class from college. He took an agriculture class where they artificially inseminated the dairy cows (he worked at the diary in college). So he compares me to a heifer! ;)
So last night we went to Wal-Mart to do our grocery shopping and I asked Josh should we get a home pregnancy test. He agreed it would be a good idea and we would go back over to that section once we finished getting groceries. Ok so this is Bonner Wal-Mart where everyone knows everyone! I was so scared of running into someone and them seeing the pregnancy test in our cart. I made Josh hide it in our cart under a bunch of groceries and then when we checked out I made sure we didn't know the cashier. Yep I was that paranoid and worried.
The hardest part about this is keeping a secret from my mom. My mom is my best friend and it is hard to not tell her we are trying to give her and my dad a grandchild. I just keep thinking about there faces when we do tell them and how VERY surprised they will be, especially my dad. He is always making comments and suggestions about grandbabies!
Title: We ARE in THAT TIME FRAME.....
Friday, October 30, 2009
This past Tuesday was day 14! Yep, that means it is time to try to conceive. I must admit we both will be crushed if we are not preggos the first time around. We have built up so much excitement and nerves about getting pregnant that it will be a punch in the gut to find out we have to try another month. But we also understand not everything works out as planned so all we can do is pray and hope! The pregnancy test we bought will tell you if you are pregnant 4 days before you start your period. So the other day I was doing the math on our good ol' trusty John Deere calendar and figured out our test date falls when Josh goes out of town to go hunting. I told him he would have to make a decision between finding out if we are pregnant the same time I do or going hunting. He just smiled and said "You can't wait till I get back Sunday evening?" I told him "Nope, you know me. It will be driving me crazy." It will drive me nuts, but later I told him I would wait until Sunday evening and I was just giving him a hard time. I hate waiting games! I really do suck at them! I will leave you with Josh's most recent phrase "Swim little swimmers swim!" You can just imagine where this phrase comes into play in our evening! ;)
So if the Bosley house is a rockin' don't come a knockin'.... we are trying to make a baby :)

I am so excited and anxious to find out if we are pregnant. We could have done the test this morning, but I didn't want to be rushing around getting ready for work. I want this to be a special moment for us and this morning would have been like... Yay! We are pregnant... I love you....Have good day at work.... Hug and Kiss.... Out the door.... all in on breathe. I want us to either be able to enjoy the moment or comfort each other. So we are waiting until Sunday when Josh gets back from Fort Scott. My other concern about taking the test this morning is that I have plans to go shopping for Christmas decorations with my mom Saturday morning and I will be itching to tell her and I am not sure I could keep it in if we were pregnant. All this week I have told Josh he HAS to come back early Sunday! I will be dieing to take the pregnancy test. In order to keep my mind off finding out if we are preggos or no preggos, I am trying to keep busy. Shopping Saturday morning/afternoon with my mom and that evening I am doing a photo shot with my cousins. Jeremy and Chrisie is letting me borrow Kathryn, Austyn, and Aaron for the evening so I can play around with my camera. Then before I know it.... it will be Sunday! Yay! As you can tell I am so excited about having a baby and I truly hope that we are pregnant after one round! I am keeping my fingers crossed for two pink lines on Sunday!
I'm so glad you wrote pre-pregnancy blogs. After your baby is born, you'll have to go back and re-read them comparing the moment you found out he/she was going to be a part of you and your lives. I'm so excited for you guys!
