I'm pregnant.
It's a blessing, really, but one that comes with so many emotions.
We were not even trying.
Although so many people told us we should have been - "At your age you better get moving".
But married now, only two years, we had a different plan.
First buy a house, then have a baby.
By the end of this year we'll have the money for a house, but with a baby coming in October, best to wait another year.
It's okay. We'll manage. Probably would not have been able to have baby in another couple of years. I know women younger than me who have tried and tried and can't conceive.
I am blessed. And....
I'm scared, excited, scared, tired, scared, elated, scared, nauseous, and EMOTIONAL!
It is at times like this I REALLY miss my mom. At my wedding too, both of them, but particularly the church wedding last year. I cried like a baby when the priest mentioned the word "parents".
Neither of them could be there.
My father....well he's another story.
My husband, he's excited and scared too. He'll make a wonderful father. He's been a wonderful husband. We've grown so much in the past two years. If you knew him in the beginning you might have told me to hold my horses.
If you could see him now, well you'd say he's a changed man. He's grown up.
Now it's time to start a family of our own. Where I can pick up where my mother left off when I was fourteen. And my husband can be the father I never had - present and loving and attentive.
A real blessing.
Thank you god!
