And let the games begin

I've loved babies as long as I can remember. I'm one of the lucky girls who met a soul mate that is just as much in love with the idea of babies as I am. There were numerous times during the 6 years prior to us getting married that we talked about starting a family. I just love the idea of a baby of mine to come home too. Working in a labor and delivery unit makes it really hard some days since I just want to take one home with me (*disclaimer- I would NEVER do it, just smile at the thought).

Well here we are. Married over a month. A savings account established. What better time to have a baby. But now that the time is right I'm Freakin man. Don't get me wrong I've started all the basic moves of the game... Like getting off birth control, buying test, putting dates on calendars. I'm ready. But then those small incidents happen. Like last night. I won't go into detail but lets just put it this way. If I was pregnant and needed to go to the hospital, or our child was sick and I was at work, we would have been screwed. And its moments like this that make me wonder if I'm even doing the right thing contemplating having kids. Other parts of me think that by getting a kid in the house we might alleviate these problems. Some would say that people rarely change, but I've witnessed a HUGE change in 6 years so I'm not holding my breath that he wont.

Deep down  my love for the idea and the need to start a family trumps my concerns in the end. So I purchased the ovulation tests, I purchased the pregnancy tests. I started the game. Now if only I'll get some positive results soon :)

I wanted to give it a try...

That's right, I'm going to give this blogging thing a try.

What's with the title- well, it simple. Its one of my 'moments'. You know those moments where you can do nothing but smile, feel all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings, and overall are your happiest. I have many of these times and most of them involve my husband Travis but one that sticks with me the most is those moments where I'm sitting in the nursery at work (I work in a Birth Center aka Laboring, Delivering moms and taking care of the newborns) on my weekends to work (I work nights on the weekends). It typically very quiet, our unit is small, and I have just a few babies to work with but while the rest sleep there is that one that is fussy that needs some 'cuddles' in the rocker or at the computer while I complete my charting.

I can't wait to be a mom and spend those nights with my kids, but for right now... I'll settle for these particular nights in the nursery.

Work has been slow this week so I'm catching up on some of my post wedding stuff. We got married last month and could not be more happy. I can't wait to share more professional pictures with you. We have a lot going on for us right now and as I go through the weeks I hope to share the highs and the lows.
