Once Upon A Time (Part 1)

I know most of your guys know our story and how we even came to the point that we are interested in adoption, but some of you don't.  So, I thought I'd blog about it, a little bit at a time.

Once Upon A Time.....

Dave and I got married in June of 2003.  I had gone on birth control before our wedding because we didn't want a honeymoon baby or any early marriage surprise.  We wanted kids, but we wanted to wait a while before we started our family.  We even told everyone in our family that we would be married for five years before we started having kids.  Yeah, that was a joke.

After our first Christmas together with just the two of us, I knew that there was no way that we were waiting five years.  I was already getting the "baby itch".   At my yearly doctor's appointment that next October of 2004, I mentioned to the doctor that we wanted to start trying and that we were going to go off of the pill.  So, she wished us well, gave me tons of information, recommended that I start prenatal vitamins, and I left the office with a huge smile on my face.  I knew that it could take a while, one of the reasons that we wanted to go ahead and start trying, but I just knew that babies were in our near future.  I had no idea that just a little over a month later, I would take a test and see not one pink line, but two.
