AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM CARRIE!

                                                                                            My husband and I have been married for 3 years this month, and in October we are expecting our first child!!!!   What an exciting time for us!  We are looking forward to this new adventure with such joy and excitement.  I don’t think raising a child is ever easy, however, we have been waiting and planning for this time and are looking forward to all that this new season will bring with it.  I am trying to read about pregnancy and babies, plan for the new baby’s room, and finish projects in our home before the baby comes.  I honestly can’t imagine doing all of this without the love and support of my wonderful husband.  

            I think children are a blessing, period.  But I also think that waiting until we were financially stable and in a committed, stable marriage will help Ben and I tremendously when raising our child(ren).  We all want the best for our children and I think that waiting to have sex until you’re married is the best way to ensure that you won’t have a child before you’re “ready.”  We were able to be excited about this baby from the very moment we found out we were expecting – there was no worry or stress, no going through our options of keeping the baby, giving it up for adoption, or having an abortion, we were simply thrilled and overjoyed at the news.

            Enjoy your teenage years.  Enjoy your young adult years.  And when you’re ready – enjoy your marriage to the fullest!!!  And then, enjoy the season of expecting your first child without unnecessary worry – as I am currently doing!  As always – I hope for the BEST in each of your lives!!!
