When we got married we knew we want to have a family. Both Nathan and I love kids and dreamed of being a mom and dad! November of 2012 we celebrated our first anniversary and we decided we were ready to expand our family. There is definitely something exciting and nerve racking about that step in life! We found out we were parents on Dec. 8, 2012... in between the 10:15 & 11:30 services that Sunday!!
I snapped this picture right after I found out because I was by myself and I wanted to remember that moment the rest of my life! I quickly ran back to church (we literally live next door) and found Nathan. I don't think I said a word... he could just tell! As he hugged me I tried to "pull myself together" (yeah right?!) and go sing with the choir. I was so overwhelmed I ended up having to slip out after the first song! I went to my friend Heather's office and grabbed some water. I sat in the chair shocked. It's funny, I knew it was a possibility... I wanted to have a baby more than anything... yet finding out that it was actually going to happen shocked me!
The rest of that Sunday is kind of a blur... we found out we were having a baby and our whole world changed. I was terrified. I realized I had absolutely NO control over the situation and that this baby was not mine. The first week was a constant struggle and prayer. I thank God that he allows me to carry this precious life... what an honor?!
The plotting began... how and when should we tell our family?! This is the first baby on both sides! What joy! I'll share how we revealed Baby Price next time. :)
