WE'RE HAVING A BABY IN NOVEMBER!!!!

Baby Tribute......
Ok, so Levi and I have been married for a little over a year now and we thought we were going to wait for a couple of years (2-4) before we started building our little family. The Plan WAS... Levi would get his under grad in Dec '09 & jump into the Masters Program for Elec Engineering for 2 more years and I would just work full time to support things until he finished and then we would have babies & I would finish my degree from home & online while he makes the buko bucks bringing in the dough as a full time Elec Engineer. We pondered and thought about it, prayed tons, and we just felt that something was missing..... Here is the missing link.....

~BABY ROCK~
He/She is upside down so you can see his little head at the bottom and his cute little feet are at the top.... awwww our little gummi bear :) you can make out the little arms right under the head, they look like little donut holes lol and his cute belly right under that.

I keep saying Him or His b/c i think it's a boy but we'll find out in 2 more months. I am not like most of my friends who wanted to get married and have kid right away. Our plans have changed. I wanted to travel, to work, build my own empire in broadcast journalism or a career in finances & investments. I never saw myself and still don't as a stay at home "soccer mom". But the more I read my scriptures and listened to the General Authorities & Prophets council not to wait until you are "financially stable" or "finished with college" or "Home Owners" to start a family, the more my heart ached for a little one.

I know they bring such joy & open your eyes to see the world & life in a whole new light. I suppose it will be like how it was when I came home from the mission.... Priorities change, interests change, habits & activities differ, sleeping patterns change haha, perspective & insight is altered to view things in a more eternal compass.

I realized I was being selfish and trying to convince myself, and made excuses to wait until we were financially stable & had degrees & a home before we brought children in this world, but that was just my fear speaking. I dont think you will ever be able to "afford" children ha ha, ya know? you will always want more for them and work harder to make sure they have it.
I dont think I will ever feel adaquate to be a mother but I am sure most new moms feel that way.

Levi was so excited when the test came back positive, he did a little victory dance haha. It was so surreal. I didn't believe it so we took two tests! I wanted Levi to pee on one stick so we could test the accuracy LOL hahahaha so funny I know I'm so weird like that....

We look forward to this new journey & can't wait to have fun family vacations! To start traditions of our own. Tell them fun stories at bedtime. Watch them grow and say and do funny things..... oh the joys of parenthood... here we come.
I finish with pics of some of my favorite little people... thanks for inspiring us to have little ones of our own :) Aunty & Uncle Love you!!!
