When I thought about becoming a mom I had pretty typical dreams…well except that I picture four kids which is a little unusual. But what no one tells you when you’re a kid yourself is that families are made in all kinds of ways, and sometimes they take time and a whole lot of help to create. I learned that pretty quickly, but let me catch you up to just a few months before we became a family of three.
It’s the Fall of 2015 and I am in my last year of college. Derek is handling a lot of the mundane parts of adulthood so I can give school my full attention. We are struggling quietly with STILL not getting pregnant after seven years of marriage. Our plan was to begin a more doctor assisted approach in the spring as I headed toward graduation.
And then we got “The CALL”.
