Starting a Family Blog

Well wish me luck on getting started as I am not very good technically, but here it goes!

I guess I am overdue for this ..... I have officially had my own family for 4 months now. Yes my very own family that nobody can take away. This is a very sureal feeling, I don't believe I have a child of my own. For anyone that does not know the story, I will write the short version. I am the second oldest of 7 children, I was 9 years old when my mom had the final five children. So I grew up taking care of babies. I have wanted children of my own for as long as I remember, I always wanted to be a young mother, 33 is young ...right?? My sister has sent her kids my way a few times, once for a month when Faith was 4 and Tristan was one. Once for three months, Faith was 6. And the last time I had two of them for 18 months, Kylie was 2, and Tristan was 6. Obviously everytime they went home to thier mom. Everytime was difficult especially the final time I had really connected with the two of them. In my mind I honestly thought this was God's explanation of why I had never gotten pregnant. Well He obviously had other plans, in April of 2007 when Tristan and Kyle went back to there mom. My husband and I got to enjoy our marriage and relationship as two people instead of a ready made family. This made us even closer than we already were. In June of 2007 I saw a fertility doctor at UCSD to figure out why I had not conceived yet. His explanation was simple, you don't ovulate, you need to be on clomed and that will help. Well Eddie and I decided to hold off on the clomed until our two year anniversary of August of 2008, mainly so I can get down to a healthy weight and so I could find a new job that was not as stressful. Well as we expected my sister decided to move to Nevad with the children in September of 2007. This made Eddie and I very sad becuase the two children we had come so close too were moving very far away. Crazyiness ...that very same month we discovered we were pregnant! WOW!! What a true blessing from God!
