I've known always that I want to be a mom, but I wasn't all that focused on it. Then I met Sam and it started to shift up in my priority list. Then I saw him interact with his nephews...and it shot to right under marriage with Sam. Now we are married and everybody is pregnant. Everybody. When Sam and I met, he had 2 nephews and only one of his cousins that were close in age to him had a child. None of our friends had babies. That was 4 years ago. Now, Sam has a total of 3 nephews, 2 nieces, and 1 niece on the way. The cousin that had one child, now is a mother of three. Another cousin had a baby and two others are currently expecting. At our wedding, one of my cousins was pregnant, my wedding photographer was pregnant, and so was my make-up/hair stylist, and my videographer's wife is expecting. Two of my bridesmaids have since then gotten pregnant. Three of my high school friends are/were pregnant and one of Sam's college buddies is pregnant. If you're lost, here's the total:
14 babies born
8 on the way
I think...I got lost trying to calculate...
I want a baby the way an addict wants a fix. But now is so not the time and yes, I know there is no "right" time. But Sam is in school, he is still in recovery, works two jobs, and we still live in Atlanta. I need to be near my mom during my pregnancy and motherhood. I can't imaging doing it 5 hours away from her.
Until Sam is out of school, only has one job, and we are living in the beautiful state of Tennessee, I will continue to impatiently wait to expect.
