But then we had a change in our mindset. We bought a beautiful home that was much bigger than the two of us needed, I celebrated my 30th birthday, and all of our friends were catching up to us with getting married and settled down.
After many discussions we decided that it was the right timing for us to try to start a family. We had a few events coming up and agreed that June was a good time to begin trying. We also discussed the possibility that children might not be in God’s plan for us. There is always a chance that we could try for years, and it just not happen. But we were okay with that. If kids weren’t in our future, we would continue being happy together just us. (Secretly though, we were both crossing our fingers and praying that our plan B would never come to fruition.)
Little did we know how ready we were to have children
because after only one month of trying we were pregnant! They say that you just know, and I knew that
morning when I took the test what the response was going to be before I even
looked at it. As soon as I saw that word
on the digital screen, I woke up Logan with the news. The only way to describe the feeling was
surreal. It was actually happening. Right after the surreal emotions of excitement
came a big mental question mark of ‘now what?’

I made a big mistake by taking the test first thing Monday morning. You can only imagine how productive I was at work that week. Luckily, it was July 1st and we had a short week. There weren’t a lot of people in the office since we had a long weekend ahead of us so I didn’t have to worry about too many people looking over my shoulder as I Googled every subject from what foods to avoid to baby announcement ideas.
