Last year, after we lost our baby, Jacob, we decided we wanted to try again as soon as possible. We got the green light and figured in nine months we would be holding a little newborn baby. Thats how it works right? We had the thought that it would be easier to deal with losing him if we had another baby that could not have been here otherwise. (does that make any sense?) So we began...
First month, no baby. Second month, no baby. Now I was getting worried...what if something was wrong with me? It should not be this hard right? I bought all kinds of ovualtion and pregnancy tests and still no baby. Every month I felt bloated and was sure this is the month! Then I would take the tests (early because I have no patience, so I would take them daily for a week or two:) only to be let down again. It was frustrating and pretty depressing, every month I had to start all over again. You have no idea how many people in Vancouver are pregnant until you can't seem to get pregnant.
Hello! My name is Kelly and I am "Born to be a star!" I thought I would write a little bit about my family and myself before the world watches me go through my pregnancy:)
My whole life I have lived in the Northwest, Portland and Vancouver. In 2004 I had my first daughter, Emma. Emma and I were always together, I was able to work at her daycare, usually in the same room. At the time I was a single parent and this really was the perfect job for us! Shortly after, Wes and I got together and eventually decided to add to our family. In 2007 we had our second daughter, Reaghan. The rules of the daycare had changed and I was not able to bring her with me. So, I worked part time while Wes' mom took care of her. For me, this was not the way to go! I spent all my breaks pumping and crying. Then I would go home feeling guilty and missing my baby. Now, Emma is five and Reaghan is almost two. We are finally in a place where I can just stay home with my girls, and take care of
