How Did I Get Here?
As I sit here beside my youngest baby boy and watch him sleep I start to think about how truly lucky I am to have such an amazing little family. Not only am I married to an amazing man but I have 2 beautiful sons who I absolutely adore. How did I get here? How did I find my way down this path of true happiness?
As a young adult I never saw my life turning out this way. I grew up in a broken home and never witnessed a good, solid marriage. I guess I always thought that either I would spend forever alone or that I would end up in one of those unhappy marriages that I came accustomed to seeing on a daily basis. Although everyone constantly told me that I was too picky when it came to men, I knew that the right guy was out there.
After meeting Michael, it was only a short time before I knew that I had met my Mr. Right. We were inseparable from the beginning and became the best of friends. We spent the next several years just enjoying our life together. We got married and bought a house. It was an amazing time in my life. I will never forget all of the great times we shared.
It was probably 2 1/2 years into our marriage when we decided that it was time for us to start a family. We tried to get pregnant for about a year and a half with no luck. We felt like there must be something wrong and decided it was time to get some help. After seeing a specialist we were told that unfortunately our chances of conceiving naturally were slim...only about a 4% chance. We were devastated. It was the hardest time of my life. I constantly asked myself why us. Why was it that everyone around me was getting pregnant but I was unable to? I felt completely isolated from the world during that time. We decided that we would seek help from the fertility clinic. After 2 months of unsuccessful procedures something happened that we were not expecting. We became pregnant on our own. The moment I found out I was pregnant was the most exhilarating feeling I have ever experienced. It was an amazing day that I will never forget! We had truly been blessed with the most amazing gift. Now, almost 4 years after that very day, we have been blessed with not only our 3 year old, Brennan, but have also been blessed with our almost 1 year old, Bryson. They are two of the most amazing little boys I have ever had the pleasure to know...and they're all MINE! :)
Being a mom is the most amazing job in the world. I truly feel like this is what I was born to do. If you would have asked me when I was younger if I ever saw my life taking this path I would have laughed and said absolutely not! The biggest shocker to me is that I am now a stay at home mom. I am looking forward to watching our boys grow each and every day. I also have my own online children’s and baby boutique...Teacups and Mudpies...which has been an amazing blessing to me. It has kept me feeling motivated and strong. I feel like if I can be mommy to 2 busy little boys and run a business at the same time, then I can do anything! :)
Life couldn’t be better. So I ask myself again...how did I get here? Patience....
