In the Beginning....

Finally, I am, I mean we are, ready to have a baby.

Warren, my husband, would have had kids yesterday but I needed a lot of time to prepare myself for this HUGE change.  I love my independence and I also love my quiet time.  I love being able to do what I want, when I want, spend what I want, and make decisions based on how I feel.  Now that being said, I did say that I am ready to get pregnant.  I'm 32, have been married over a year, and now have those so-called motherly feelings.

I'm excited to feel this way because for so long, I didn't think I was going to be one of those women.  I'm not sure when it happened, but I think my switch turned on at Christmas time last year.  My brother and sister-in-law just had a baby five days before Christmas, and at that time of year I was able to see all of my cousins' babies as well.  They weren't the ones screaming at a restaurant or throwing a tantrum in the grocery isle, so I kind of warmed to them.

About three months ago, I competed in a Figure Competition in Ottawa and I won the entire Figure category.  It was the hardest thing I've ever prepared for and I'm quite proud of how well I did.  I always had plans for myself that when I was done the show, my next goal would be to get pregnant.  So, now that it is almost three months post show, I'm ready.  Although I very much miss my training and my pre-show body, I am ready to be the right size to be able to accomplish OPERATION: Make a Baby.
