With all this waiting, I have finally come to a place where I really enjoy my family as it is right now without always looking forward and thinking of the children that will be coming. I don’t feel that my family is complete, but I don’t feel any hurry to move on. I’ve actually started thinking of it as my “Phase 1” family. Someday, we’ll outgrow this phase, but I am going to enjoy it while it is here.
We have been trying to have another baby naturally since Rhys was 1 ½. There have been a few convergences of circumstances that I felt sure would result in a pregnancy, but none have. And, as much as I want a baby, I am OK with is. I know that we are exactly where we need to be, and I love my Phase 1 family. I will try hard to get as much done as I can during this time where I have more time, because I know more kids will mean less time. I am not anxious to move beyond now. I am happy in now. Even so, I am excited about someday, too. My heart is so full of love to share.
In other news--I don't have nausea every time I ovulate any more. Thank goodness. That was getting annoying.
A New Adventure!
