Why wait?

Nobody gets more excited than me to talk about babies. Just ask my sweet husband! I get all excited and goofy when he asks me what I'm thinking about, knowing that my answer is most often "babies". I can entertain my own little thoughts all day long, but it's something else entirely when Rich brings up the topic! I know right now that he is going to be an incredible Dad. I know that it's going to be hard and stretching is SO many ways that I'm not even aware of yet, but I know in my heart that we are meant to be parents.

So we've had this whole "June 2012" date in the back of our heads for a while now. There were reasons behind it, but Rich has been hesitant to put things on a timeline all along. He is a lot more go-with-the-flow than I am, that is for sure. The other night, we had finished working out at the gym and were relaxing in the hot tub. Out of NOWHERE, Rich says to me, "Why don't we just start trying now?"

SAY WHAT???

I couldn't even believe the words coming out of his mouth. I was so surprised! While Rich is certainly excited to be a Dad some day, I certainly have more, shall we say, enthusiasm. We talked about it a little more, and Rich had some really good points. Basically, it's not up to us when we get pregnant. The Lord already knows if/when it will happen. So it doesn't really matter if we start trying now or 2 months from now. It will happen on His terms, not ours.

So....as much as I absolutely hate this phrase....we're trying!!!
