To Pout or to Celebrate? That is the question.

Why is it every time that you really desire something, every one else in the world seems to have it before you? For example, back when I really wanted to get engaged to Matthew (and was incredibly impatient) it felt like every other day some one was announcing their engagement! Well I feel the same exact thing is happening again with this desire of mine to start a family. Let me just show you...

1. I have been working at my school for a little over 5 years and have seen a couple teachers get pregnant. No big deal, I wasn't thinking about it myself. This year, however, the pregnant teachers have been coming out in droves. 4 (yes 4!) teachers have announced theirs or their spouses pregnancies! To top this off, some of them haven't even been married a year! I mean really!

2. I am in two Bible studies (one for me and one for Matt and me). Both Bible studies have had women announce their pregnancies. Obviously, I am happy for these women. They deserve a happy family too, but come on!

3. Literally, and I mean LITERALLY, every time I log onto Facebook, some cute couple is announcing that they are pregnant. I understand I am in my late 20's and this is the time of life people are starting families, but it is just getting ridiculous.

4. I feel like every Hollywood Star and their mother is getting pregnant. So now when I check out at Target, I have to see Kim Kardashian's pregnant butt.

I mean...can any one out there relate with me right now? 

But here's the thing, I have to remember that this earth isn't all about me. I have to remember that many of these cute couples announcing their pregnancies have gone through times of pain and periods of loss too. I have to remember that any time some one announces their pregnancy it is a gift from God and something that should be celebrated. So I am here to say that I am going to celebrate and rejoice with these cute couples who were blessed with the opportunity to bring life into this world. I know that my time will come and so will those of you who are waiting too because God is good and His plan for all our lives is perfect! And when that day comes, you better believe that there will be an announcement from the Loerop's!
