New Chapter and a New Beginning

New Chapter and a New Beginning is exactly what is running through my head right now. I found out on St. Patrick's Day this year that I was pregnant. My emotions were mixed when I took my first pregnancy test, and my second, third, then finally fourth. I definitely had the "oh sh*t" moment but was also filled with a lot of peace at the same time. Once things settled it was hard to tell Albert, the father, and it took him a little time for things to settle in but we are both extremely thrilled and both feel blessed knowing that we have an amazing blessing on the way.
  We found out last month that we are having a beautiful baby boy, which of course Al thought the entire time that is what he would be. I had my moments of thinking it was a boy, but a few days before we found out my gut was telling me it was a girl. I of course did not care either way and neither did hem we both just want a happy and healthy baby, but deep down I was hoping for a boy.
  The first name that was ever suggested between the two of us was Chance. Al thought it was very fitting considering the chances between us. It worked either way for a boy or girl and at first I was thrown off by it but soon after I fell in love with his name. The middle we are still debating on but currently it is Teagan.
   Our little blessing is due on Thanksgiving Day which is something completely thankful in itself. This has been a journey emtionally for me so far not only because this is my first child but also because I will have a family again. My parents were both taken from me at a young age and it has been a struggle for me to know what a sense of family feels like. Yes, friends are amazing and they have been nothing but a blessing to me, but nothing can replace a mother and fathers love for a their child. I am starting to have that love fill my heart again and it is such a wonderful feeling.
  Now the fun will begin hunting through baby stores to put a nursery together, find a pediatrician, so much to think about and do before our little one arrives. I hope that I will be able to keep posting and get in the habit of it. I have always wanted to have an online blog, so hopfully now that I have something exciting to post they will keep on coming.
