The Race To Motherhood

For some women, motherhood isn’t much of a journey other than planning a pregnancy, surviving through the pregnancy (smiley), and birthing the most beautiful baby you’ve ever seen. Others may actually have more of a journey, meaning there were even more obstacles to hurdle over. Either way, reaching motherhood really is a journey and a wonderful one at that! Although during the journey some of us would beg to differ!

My journey took about 2 years. I thought I would be one of those women that could plan a pregnancy and 9 months later, out pops a kid! Why did I think that? Well, I have family that didn’t seem to have any problems having children. I mean, our family is filled with children, and there’s never a dull moment at family gatherings! But I learned that looks really are deceiving.

Planning A Family

My husband and I got married in 2012 and had already decided that we want to be just a married couple for at least 2 years before having children. We wanted to enjoy married life and make sure we had everything in place like we wanted. That included my husband getting a job closer to home to help cut travel expenses (paying for gas everyday to drive an hour to work and an hour back home 5 days a week and sometimes 6 days), purchasing our first house together (selling the house I already owned which is expensive in itself!), and building up a savings to prepare for the surprises that children bring.

Well, when my husband got the call that he received a position at a company 15 minutes from our new home that we moved in to a month earlier, and I had picked up a few more clients for my tutoring, I cried tears of joy because everything was working out perfectly and it meant we could start planning for children! I was so excited! I had gone from being that little high school girl walking out of class after seeing child birth video saying, “I am NEVER having kids!” to the college teacher assistant at a daycare saying, “This job is the perfect birth control!” to being a married young lady thrilled about being a mom!

Making Babies Is Easy…Right?

I think those phases that I went through were perfect and helped me to have children when the time was right! Children are a lot of work and I wanted to be smart about it. So, 2014 everything was working out just right and we were ready to start our family! We started right away because I had a plan for when I wanted my baby to be born! As a school teacher, having a birth in May was ideal since it’s at the end of the school year and I could spend the whole summer off with my new baby. I downloaded the apps, printed out a calendar, tried different positions and wah-lah! I was pregnant! That was easy!! But it turned out it wasn’t as easy as it seemed…
