My nephew was born yesterday. I almost had two nephews born yesterday. My step-sister gave birth to Jack Michael via c-section. Randy's brother's girlfriend, Sam, had a close call. She was 2 cm dilated so it might be soon or awhile until the Owen is born.
I have never held a newborn baby before yesterday. Holding Jack was the most amazing thing.
All the talk about babies and holding Jack made me think about what my family would be like. Now I can't wait to have kids.
How many children will we have? How many boys and girls?
I know I want to adopt children and have some of my own.
Randy and I have talked about if he wants to get out of the service when we have kids or not. At first, he wanted to get out when we had kids so we could settle down. Now, with the economy, I think that has changed. Also, I don't know what I want to do with my life. I don't know what I want to do as a career. Therefore, we would not be financially stable. I feel it would be a great opportunity for our kids to move around and to live in different states and countries. Moving around would help them adjust better to change, help them learn how to make friends quickly, and open their minds to new ideas and different ways of life.
We will see if we enjoy the military life. Randy loves it so far, and I am really excited and open minded about the whole experience. If we enjoy it, I guess we will stay and raise our kids in that lifestyle. If not, our kids will grow up like normal kids.
We shall see where the Lord takes us.
