We have decided

not to wait. Things might not be perfect, but when is life perfect? If we waited for the perfect time we would never have a family. He will begin the larger wagon immediately.

There are many reasons that we chose to wait before we began a family. It is not for a lack of love. If there is anything that e do not lack, it is that. We were young when he claimed me. Both of us still had a great deal of growing and learning to do. We wanted to give ourselves time to grow together so that our child would come into the world as part of a strong family.

Even though I am not with child yet, there is much to do to be ready for the child. There is the bigger wagon that Sahli insists we need. There are things the babe needs. Blankets, a place to sleep. All of these things we can start preparing for now. I know that I will be giving Sahli a son. I just know it. I cannot wait until he holds his child, son or daughter, in his arms. I can not wait until the day that our family grows. Even if our family has always been slightly larger than most would imagine anyway, this time - this time that growth will be different.
