After turning 29 I really began to think about what I wanted to do with my life. (You know all the things you thought you would do before turning 30 are staring you in the face.) Then on December 18, Josh and I got into a conversation (on a dancefloor of course) about having a baby. We really talked about our fears and where we were and decided that we were ready. Things were by no means perfect but never-the-less it was a good time for us.
We had always said we would wait until we were 30. And this year we will be. We had worried about our weight but having just lost a good chunk we felt more comfortable, plus we thought trying to have a baby would be very motivating to keeping us on the weight loss track. We had just found out that Josh would be keeping his job (after a company change) and we had decided that my job was a good career path for me. We had just become a two car family again after a period of only having one car. We had worked hard that the previous year to get our bills down to basics. And most of all it just felt right for the first time in our almost 8 years.
I'd be lying if I said that the fact that my sister and sister-in-law were pregnant didn't have a little something to do with it. We had always teased that we would all have our babies together. Jess had announced that she was having a boy at Thanksgiving and Camille and Jason announced they were having a baby the first part of December. That really got the wheels a spinning. But overall I feel like it was the right time for us too. And it's just so fun that we can all do it together. And those cousins are going to be best buds.
