Teen Mom

With all of this trying to make a baby stuff, watching Teen Mom has gotten progressively harder every episode. I keep thinking about what would I have done had I been a teen mom. I realize it would be hard, really hard, but at least I would be a mom.

It gets me thinking about what it would be like to be a young mom. Not necessarily a teen mom, but an early-twenties mom. I wasn’t ready for it then, but would have been ok. It all leads me to be a bit envious of people I know who are young moms. Would things have gone quicker had Clint and I started trying right after we got married? Just thoughts that I can’t get out of my head.

Another thing Teen Mom gets me thinking about is adoption (not that Clint and I are even at that point yet). Clint and I decided that it is something we are open to if we can’t have kiddos. But watching teen girls give up their babies is hard enough and that’s just a TV show! And don’t get me started on “getting picked” by a teen! The last one said, “I just want my baby to have a stay-at-home mom.” Like that’s the only thing that separates good moms from bad moms. For your information, I will be a working mom. I don’t think we could swing the whole one income thing. And besides, I like work (my work anyhow…).

Then again, I don’t have my own little babies yet to make those important decisions.

I’m trying hard to just put it in God’s hands right now. But that is really hard.

I know it is hard but try not to stress! When the time is right it will happen. I have always been a true believer of everything happens for a reason. We may not know the reason now but eventually we will figure it out. So when He feels the time is right for you and Clint to have a child, somehow that will happen and it will be the best blessing ever!
