Babies
I haven't really wanted to share this, but I'm getting a bit annoyed with people giving me the "hint" that we should start trying for a second child.
WE ARE TRYING.
We aren't succeeding. It's been a year. I'm told this is "normal", but it feels like an eternity to me, as I've seen people get pregnant, have babies, and those babies are almost starting to crawl now. My favorite girl's name was used by a friend of a friend (so I guess we can still use it, but it feels like a "used" name now) and people who started trying after me are having babies now. I'm feeling a little left in the dust. People I love are on their 3rd or 4th babies while we're still a "new" family with only 1 child.
I also can't quite get use to the idea that our family is going to be spread out a bit more that we had planned, and I don't really like it. I pictured having all of my babies before 30. Now I either need to have twins or become a baby making machine to get a few more out while I'm still in my 20's. So, that's looking grim.
People, I will tell you when we are pregnant. I will probably shout it from the roofs, because I want another baby so bad. Please don't hint any more, I know that we're due, and I want one too... just have to wait and pray and see oh have fun with the hubs.
OK, enough about that. Did I mention that my birthday is in 2 days? I'll expect cards and flowers! ;)

My two are so close together that you wouldn't know I'd ever had any trouble getting pregnant - but it took us many months of trying before I got pregnant the first time.
It's hard when people make hints and ask intrusive questions. Love to you.
I will turn my pressure to prayers.
Love you both,
Chad
I haven't followed your blog very closely. However it is inspirational.
We are trying and have been for a whole 2 months. While that isn't long I understand the agonizing wait.
I am so happy to hear you are pregnant now. May God give you a wonderful pregnancy. Please pray that we can be right behind you in the pregnancy. We can't wait to meet the newest addition to the Roe family!!!
Thank you for giving me hope!!!
