that's where I sit at the moment. Crazy. I feel like we just found out that we were pregnant. Time seems to be going so quickly and I must say I'm enjoying the ride.
I was exchanging stories with another soon to be mommy about how we came to right now. We had a few things in common: We both were trying for a bit and we both stressed ourselves out to the point that we were 2 weeks late. We both tested and both came up negative.
This got me thinking about how thankful I am right now. I remember looking at that test and being so heartbroken that it was negative. I laid in bed and cried about for what felt like an eternity. It was a horrible feeling. I felt so defeated and thought maybe it wasn't in the cards for me to get pregnant.
Then Charlie said:
"well, now we know that we really want a child, so we just have to keep trying. It will happen when it's meant to.Maybe we just aren't ready right now but we will be soon"
... and I believed him. So we did.
Now here we are 14weeks and 2 days pregnant. We are insanely excited to be parents. We are constantly planning our future family, where we want to live, what kind of schools he or she will go to, what kind of sports he/she will play... that kind of thing. It's a wonderful feeling.
I've learned something. Children are a miracle and are given to you for a reason, whether it be naturally, through adoption or any other means. They come to you when you need them the most and I have a feeling that I'll learn as much from this baby as it will from me.
So that's where it stands...14 weeks, 2 days and approximately 180 days to go.. and thankful.
