The Story of Us

This is my first post ever. This blog was motivated mostly by my good friend Lauren, who documented her pregnancy online. I thought this was a great idea, and although not pregnant yet, thought I could get started.

Today seemed like a good day to start. First and foremost, two of my great girlfriends are both having their babies delivered tomorrow Thu July 30. I am excited, thrilled, and nervous for both of them. I can only imagine the pain they will have to endure tomorrow. But I can also imagine the miracle they will soon hold in their arms. The little ones they will fall so madly in love with in one quick moment. In fact, I'm sure they were already in love with it before the baby even gets here.

That is the stage that I am at. There are days when I so badly want a child. Charlie has already reached this stage, even before me. I truly feel that having a child and raising it is one of the greatest miracles God has given us. It is one of the few things I know I was born to do.

So even though my friends and family do not share my enthusiasm for a child, I move forward with the decision. Together, Charlie and I, will experience this miracle. However, as much as I'd like to pursue a pregnancy NOW, I will wait until September. If everything goes well, maybe we will have a baby "FILI-CAN" (Filipino American) by June or July.

ps I also had my first appt with my new gynecologist/OB doctor. I chose Dr.Keeley because of the wonderful things I have heard about. He will help Charlie and I with this wonderful journey that will soon unfold.

Until the next time...
