My husband and I often talk about our mixed feelings of having recently moved from the city to country six months ago. Were we ready for the change? Of course. Were we pregnant (for the first time) at the time? Yes. Do we feel like the move was a bit premature? Maybe.
It's not easy living in a newly constructed planned community meant for families. We are constantly surrounded by young families and little kids. They are everywhere.
The hard part is that we feel like we are in limbo -- ready for the next step but stuck with the reality of the present. We've been ready for awhile too, which makes it even harder. It's like we are inundated with what we want to be our life but are stuck in the cruel reality of the present.
Every time I feel down or sorry for myself, I try to do some positive visualization to imagine what our lives will be like with kids and try to see that dream in others. It's not easy but an important and healthy part of the process. Feeling open to possibilities and genuinely happy for others will only help us move forward and hope for good things to come.
It WILL be our time soon, and trust me, we will enjoy every aspect of family friendly green neighborhood space in our community....with smiles on our faces, a Pug at our side, and a baby stroller to lead the way.
