But oh-so exciting. After 14 months of trying to get pregnant, and having one failure after another, after what feels like a hundred doctors visits and the decision to finally start on fertility medication-- we got our two pink lines. At 8pm, on a Wednesday. I freaked. We hadn't even started the medication yet-- that test must be mocking me. There is no way we are actually pregnant. But it was true... three more at home tests and a doctors office test the next morning confirmed-- Little Bean Hayes is in the making.
That was six glorious weeks ago. Since then, its been lots of morning sickness, a few doctors appointments, one trip to the ER, and seeing Little Bean for the first time. Is there anything more amazing in this world?? The first time you see your child... seems like nothing could be more right, more perfect, or more.... stressful!
So many things to do before Bean arrives. We need a house! (Which we are working on. Paperwork is in the works, and if everything goes well, we will be homeowners in a month or so...) a bigger car! (my little car just isn't going to cut it when it comes to car seats, strollers and baby bags, which is okay. I wanted a new one anyway... but we have to wait until after the house business is completed... which is stressful all in itself...) and lots and lots of patience. Waiting for this, waiting for that, waiting for Bean to get here. Its all so fun and exciting.... but patience is not where I excel.
It couldn't have happened at a more perfect time. There is a deployment on the horizon, we can see it, but luckily, its not right in front of our faces yet. We have time to have a baby and get a routine-- before we are totally uprooted and have to start over. Justin is busting at the seams with work right now, we got a decent tax return, my job is steady and stable... its all just the way it should be.
Now all we have to do it just sit back and wait to welcome Little Bean Hayes to the family.
....Sit back. Yeah, right.
