Journal Jar #6: How did you find out that you were going to be a parent for the first time.

WELL!!!

I was in high school, about to graduate, and I had been having some female issues. After a few months my sister convienced me to go to the Dr.

Let just say I was very nervouse. I went in for a yeast infection, and came out knowing what I had figured out. My Mom(Deanne) new.

I can remember the Dr. coming into the room and taking me out in the hall. He asked me to sit down. He said" you are pregnant, do you want to tell her or do you want me to?" I had him tell my mom. When we walked back into the room he said" the test was positive." My sister said "what she has a yeast infection?"

My parents took it well. My grandma didn't, she was very mad at me. Josh's mom freaked out, and his dad called him at work with a laugh in his voice said"Well I hear you got yourself in a little bit of trouble."

There was all sorts of talk. We, Josh and I had both just turned 18. Some wanted us to adopt, and ship Josh off to the army. Others just left it up to Josh and I. We knew that we wanted to get married. So that is what we did.

I am so grateful that I did what I knew was right! I look at my son, and my heart pounds with so much love and pride. He is one AWESOM kid!!

Wow, that seem like a century ago! I'm so happy you and Josh have been so committed to each other over the years.

I hope you don't harbor any hard feelings toward little mamacita. I can only imagine how difficult it would have been for her, being the mother of only one son.

Love you Heidi, and am so proud of your little family.
