I know what you thinking, “Jennifer, you’re so silly.  Your iPhone can’t get you pregnant!”  Well, before you think that thought, just let me explain.  See, since I was never one to keep track of my girlie time of the month I usually ended up with a “surprise” each month.  So after I got my iPhone I decided to start using an app called Period Tracker.  Basically, it was a cute and simple app that tracked the dates and any symptoms (i.e. – cramps, body aches, headaches, and moods).  In  addition to helping women simply keep track it also will show it’s predicted dates of ovulation.  So in essence, if you were TRYING to conceive; this app would be a handy and convenient little tool in doing so.

Derek and I had intended on waiting until he was finished with grad school to start a family, but after some serious thought we decided that just this once (let this be a lesson to all you teens out there that think it can’t happen on the 1st try) we would try.  You know…forgo using protection.    : blush :   We decided, knowing that my iPhone app predicted that I was a Fertile Myrtle at the time, that we were ready for a child and that if it happened it happened, but if nothing happened…well at least we tried.  If nothing came of it, so be it.  It was just an iPhone app right?  How accurate can it be?  It’s just a prediction tool.

Something DID happen.  December 3rd there was a positive pregnancy test sitting on the edge of my bath tub looking up at me and giggling, “I told you so!”  I told Derek the following day after taking the second test that giggled and made the same snide comment as the first.  And now we have ended up here….
