Zach & Kylea

I haven't really talked much about my experience with my road to pregnancy just because it was always a very touchy subject. Most people that are close to me kind of know the struggles we went through in getting pregnant in the first place, but it's not something I ever really wanted to share with the whole world. It a very sensitive subject and it was something I really struggled with for quite some time.
I certainly do believe that everything has its time, and I've come to realize that more and more as things happen in my life. But the time leading up to this pregnancy was a trying time. To make a long story short, we were going to the doctor to get some questions answered, but we never got to find out why it was taking so long because we got pregnant before we could find out! we feel very blessed to have this baby coming into our lives, and believe it truly happened at the right time.

I find myself thinking about all of this quite a bit lately. With Zach being gone this summer I have really had to pick myself up and get things done on my own. Which, I admit, has been a struggle at times with all these crazy changes I'm going through. But it just makes me realize that even though it's hard, I have really learned that I kind of needed this time to know how strong of a person I really can be. ( even strong women can have a few "mental breakdowns" once in a while) ;) and all of it makes me really appreciate the things that Zach does or me on a daily basis, and not to mention the huge sacrifice he is making by working this summer so far away to better our family.

I try to remind myself of these things when I'm feeling blue or just plain icky( aka heartburn, or achy belly) and it always makes me think of the bright side of it all. I'm so happy to have this baby and couldn't be more excited about her arrival into this world! And don't they say heartburn equals hair!? I hope she gets Zachs curls!

I found this picture on pinterest ( of course) and thought it was nice!
