| Happy just the two of us |
So a couple weeks ago, I had one of those moments when I was like ‘whoa, am I really talking about this happening that soon. When did I really get to this stage in my life’? With our one year anniversary approaching in just a few weeks (at the time, it’s already pasted now) Nick and I had to update our plan on when we want to start having children. When we first got married we always said we would wait two to three years. Well, we’re half way to one-third of the way there on that timeline. Wow! It kind sneaks up on you. We know that we want children we just also know that we are not ready to be parents yet. Although I told Nick I can tell that the time is getting closer. But like I said with the timeline one-third of the way over, you would start to feel like it was getting closer as well. I’m am just glad that the measure of counting is in years! What I didn’t realize until we actually started talking was that if you actually want a child in your arms during like your third year in marriage, you have to start planning to have children at minimum nine months before that…which means getting pregnant during your second year of marriage. As we are in our second year, please reference the disclaimer above, what I just said was merely an example.
For now, we will still just practice on Bailey. She will be in for a rude awakening when we do have that first baby. On a funny note, we were sitting on our bed and Nick was teasing me about having a child around this same time (like already being pregnant) and as soon as he said it Bailey lets out a bark as it saying ‘noooooo’. She just has perfect timing.

the night we got the call for evan, i quickly sat down with smokey before we ran out the door to watch our son be born. I told him we love him very much and he has been the best dog in the world. he held our hearts from breaking through the years of infertility (9 in total) and we will always love him for the joy he's given us but.... we are about to go get a baby and there will be times when we sorta forget to give him attention etc but it's not because we don't love him. I seriously think he understood me and has been patiently awaiting our old love ever since. :) that's what a good dog/son does. ;) good luck with your journey. i remember 'planning' when we would start our family very vividly. i hope you do not have any problems getting pregnant like i did and get to have them when you want them. then again, h.f. knows the right time and the right way and i barely remember the 'wait'. :) xoxo your blog is really cute, so glad i found it again. xo
