Where do I begin? We are so excited and can't wait to have a baby. We got the news right before Christmas. I actually was only 8 weeks along but we thought it would be fun to tell everyone for Christmas! Here is our first picture of our little one.
The passed few years have been a challenge for me and my husband. When we had been married for only about 6 months I already wanted to start a family very badly. Brett was not ready for having a baby yet. So I waited a year... and another...and then finally Brett said he was ready! I couldn't wait! Thinking we would have a baby right away... NOPE didn't happen that way. After I had gotten off of birth control my body was wacked. At one point I had my period for 6 weeks. Let me tell you... it was horrible.
Finally after along year of trying I was pregnant! I seriously took a pregnancy test 5 times because I was so surprised! I had taken many tests that year and just couldn't believe my eyes. The passed 3 years of wanting a baby has been such a challenge and I was finally having a baby!
So our little peanut is going to be a boy! We will name him Samuel Eric Taylor and call him by his middle name like his daddy. Samuel is my husbands first name, his dads and my brothers. Eric is my fathers name.
I feel so blessed to be able to have this little angle that I have been waiting for. One year of trying seemed like forever but I feel so blessed to have children. My heart goes out to the women that are trying to have children that take a few years to.
My deep thoughts about this is during the time of trying to have a baby it was even harder because I had people say "Don't wait too long to start a family" or "When are you going to have kids?" I could go on. I feel like the best way to go about this is "Do you plan to have children?" And leave it at that. Now going through what I have I feel so sensitive towards others when asking that question. It was hard not to compare myself to my friends that had only been married a few months that were pregnant or been married less time then me. I know that seems so silly but I would think "I have been married 3 years and they just got married. We should have had a baby by now."
So with that in mind I finally decided I needed to stop thinking about it. So I went to nail school which has been the best choice. Once I finished school I got pregnant a month later! I can't believe how quick time had gone by. At the time it was so hard waiting but now that the time is here and I will be having a baby I feel so blessed and grateful that we only were trying to have a baby for one year. My heart and prayers go out to those that want children that haven't had their time yet
