Sorry we're late

So you go off the pill. And you try not to get pregnant. But then you stop trying not to. Thinking there's no way you could get pregnant the first time out of the old chute. And then you try not to obsess about it.

But then your very first period without the aid of birth control in the last 14 years is late.

How bout that?

But am I freaking out? Noooooo. Obsessing? Yessssss.

Josh of course, is not fazed in the least. I should be more like him.

In fact, his reponse to my announcement that I am late?

"Well there goes our Asia trip for this fall."

How bout "There goes my drinking for nine months."

Or "There goes my budget of not spending any money to save for the new house."

Or the wildly popular "There goes my ass that I worked so hard to achieve in pilates for the last two years."
