Brad & I were excited and scared to death at the thought of having children. August of 2008 marked our 5 year wedding anniversary, we’ve been smart with our money and have no credit card debt, we just put in a pool that we were able to pay cash for, and we’ve been lucky enough to take a major vacation every year….and in September Brad turned 36 and I turned 33. So, you could say we were at the time in our lives where we needed to decide one way or the other what we were going to do!  I quit taking the pill and started taking pre-natal vitamins in early May. No one but your father and I knew that…we didn’t want the pressures of the outside world stressing us out at such an important time in our lives. Though my periods are very irregular, I had one on July 21st so we knew we weren’t pregnant then. We had my work party on September 20th and I knew we’d be drinking so I decided to take a pregnancy test….just as I expected, it was negative. A few weeks went by and we planned to have friends over on November 1st so I decided to take another test that day.
