Creating Baby

It was exactly 2 months and one day since our wedding day. Liam and I were out to dinner for Valentines day. We were seated next to a family: Mom, Dad, and little boy. Liam said, "I can't wait until we have a kid." That was it, my womb felt empty, my ovaries were shouting "We have babies in here for you! You need a baby NOW!" 

A year and a half later, we were on a vacation in Disneyland when I threw out the pills. We had been discussing it a while and decided it could be good timing. Then at dinner at the vineyard in California Adventure, after a glass of wine, Liam said "Let's do it!" I waited until the next day to make sure he was serious (and sober) and that was it. 

I won't get into all the details about trying to get pregnant. But know that we got pregnant twice in 6 cycles(5 and a half months!) First pregnancy was lost early on and was very devastating. I knew from the beginning that something was wrong. November 15th I got a positive at-home test! Our betas (pregnancy hormone in blood) tripled in 48 hours(you want them to at least double.) 

The first thing I did was head over to the college to tell Liam. We met up for lunch because "he had my book." I traded him the test for my book. We were both so excited! We ended up playing hooky from school that day and going and painting pottery. 

And the journey begins......
