Hello there!
My name is Nikky Fischer, I am 26 years old and I currently work as a lead preschool teacher and assistant director of my daycare. My husband Scott is 25, and we have been married for 9 months. He owns his own farm, and is renovating our house into a two family. I am writing this blog as a way to document our journey in trying to conceive (TTC). I also would love to find a ttc community to help pass the time in the two week wait (2WW).
A little bit about myself:
I am 5'4", 240lbs. (definitely heavier than i would want to be ideally, but i love myself!)
I love to garden, and conserve as much as possible. I am very crafty and create many things. I love love love to cook! I love the challenge of mixing flavors and textures. This challenge became even more difficult when i started eating gluten free 1.5 years ago. (more on that later) I enjoy walking, love hiking and swimming! But most of all enjoy spending time with my amazing husband! (Insert Awwww....)
This is TTC cycle 1.
I am currently DPO 4, on CD 18. here is my chart on fertility friend http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3d5e31
I
am exhausted today. I went to bed early enough.(Not my normal time, but
still before 11) so i know i shouldn't be tired from lack of
sleep. i even slept in later, and took a quick snooze around noon today.
i just cant shake it. I don't know if its allergies, or b/c i mowed my
brother's lawn yesterday and my body is sore. I just don't know. i guess
time will tell, but of course i am over analyzing everything!
Ive been
following a few YT mommies and their ttc, pregnancy, mommy vlogs. I will
add their pages below so you can find them as well.
Here is my journey thus far:
A
few months ago, I began getting baby fever. My husband and I have been
married for 9 months as of tomorrow. :) I began searching for
midwives/doulas/birth centers/etc so i could be more informed when the
time came. I came across a doula in my area named rachel. we
corresponded through emails and she recommended a doctor that supports
natural childbirth, a few midwives, and a few other resources. One of
those resources was the documentary "The Business of Being Born" and I
youtubed it to see if i could find any clips. Well low and behold, I
came across the full documentary! I watched it twice in the same day!
And 3 more times since then. Well thanks to the magic of YT, it
suggested other videos that were similar, and i began watching other
homebirth videos. Including Lucy and Joel Eades of xxxjoelpolexxx. And
my obsession began. From their videos, i found other YT mommies and all
of their stories. i fell in love with home birth. I knew for a long time
that i wanted to cloth diaper my children and following these lovely
ladies and only cemented my decision. I have always wanted to
breastfeed, and baby wear so i felt so much at home with their stories.
Now, if only i had a decent working camera to make some TTC videos!
Anyways,
so far, I have made a few purchases and also sewn a few things as well.
Our local JoAnn's was having a huge moving sale so i found some PUL and
other materials for great deals. I made my first cloth pocket diaper! It
turned out cute! Also, i made a taggy soft block, and a cute little owl
toy. I also made some inserts out of old towels. I bought a 3 pack of
white Carter's onesies and 2 fancy pants one size pocket diapers.
