Tendinitis

Today disaster has struck, my thumb had been feeling sore and so I went to the minor injuries unit and have been diagnosed with tendinitis. This means I have to wear a splint 24/7 for a week or so to let it rest. This means all crafting is off the table, what on earth am u going to do with my spare time?!? It also makes you realise how much you use your thumb in everyday life, without it my arm is pretty much useless so I'd better get used to working one handed for the minute. That said I'm going to have to end this post now as typing one handed takes forever!

Reason for blogging

So, despite my limited technological skills I've decided to start a blog. Why you may ask, well the title of my blog seems fairly self explanatory, I'm trying for a baby.
First some background, my husband and I are newly weds and despite initially thinking we may wait about 6 months we've decided to bite the bullet and begin now!
So when I finish this pill packet in mid September, I won't be starting another! I'm both scared and excited. We're keeping the news that we're starting to try to ourselves as we don't want the added pressure of being asked constantly if I'm pregnant.

So the plan is to 'practice' as my husband so delicately calls it every other day. I've started on the pre-conception vitamins as has he (what harm can they do). Also trying to eat healthy and lose a bit of honeymoon weight.

I'm using crafting to help distract me. I'm a knitter, a cross stitcher, a baker and have recently started sewing. Hopefully this can keep me busy, although my knitting is mainly baby clothes at the moment! I've got a few friends pregnant so at least I can blame this on them!
