By way of introduction

Our little family currently consists of me (Portia), a law student; my husband (whose blogger identity remains unknown), a seminary student, and our five-month-old kitten.

We made this decision over a year ago, and (at least I) anxiously awaited the time when we could actually start trying!! I went off the Pill in November, and we waited a month to actually "try."
