mother may i

when i was little i loved being around babies, more than anything. i enjoyed very much helping my mother with the foster children we would get. i absolutely loved it! i always played house and was a mommy to the baby dolls. and when i would play barbies i was either a mom or a babysitter. i started babysitting at 14. i loved it. i babysat for two ladies my mom worked with, and i babysat for my cousin and her boyfriend and her friends, i also babysat for my neighbor. i took child development in high school, learning all about pregnancy and children, we even had to take home those babies that cry to be fed and changed. it was awesome! and not that long ago i babysat for a lady with 6 kids, whose husband was just getting home from deployment. and now that i think of it 95% of the little ones i have babysat were girls! and as many of you know i am now working in a nursery and kids club at a gym near by. so needless to say i love kids, i absolutely adore them. and i cannot wait to be a mommy myself! the hubby and i have been talking about it lately. and although many may not approve for they think we are "too young" and "rushing it". i know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but what do they know? they arent us! and last time i checked age wasnt really the most important factor in having a child, MATURITY was and knowing that YOU are ready!? am i young, yes.. but i am also married to a guy ive been with for three years, my high school sweet heart, my best friend! and yes i know that having a child is a big deal, im not naive to that one bit. when i am bored and have nothing to do i look up stuff about pregnancies and children. and almost every time i learn something new. i have talked about it and thought about it very much. this isnt something that i just thought id try out. this is something that we both want very much. like i said we have thought about it and talked about it and now that things have fallen into place and we are both working and things are going very well, we are sure we are ready! and like i said this is something we both want very much and are excited for! we both cant wait to be parents, we want to have children at a young age, because we want our parents to be able to be a part of their lives and be able to do stuff with them. and we also want to be young and able to do all sorts of fun and exciting things with the children we some day have. so i guess with that being said you could say we are trying, but we are not labeling it as that, we do not want to get upset when trying takes longer than we hope. so that is why we say when it happens it happens. and i also know there are some of you out there that say "that is wrong, and we should either want it or not". well thats not at all what we mean when we say itll happen when it happens, because believe me we do want a child, we just arent going to get our hopes up and like i said before it take longer than we hope and then we get upset and all of that!  but do not worry when it does happen i will make sure to let you all know!

"i believe that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated."

God Bless!
