Small humans on the brain...

So, we've come to the point in life where we start planning for small humans to take over our lives. We've been talking about it for years and have always been on the same page... "when things settle down a bit"... but we've come to realize that our idea of 'settled' and others ideas are very different, and this is what settled looks like. For now. I have a lot of fears about motherhood. The degree to which it will change my relationship with C. My family and closest friends being so far away during all of it. Travelling with a wee one... deployments leaving me a single mom for months at a time and so many other things that most women don't necessarily have to worry about. But if I've learned anything, it's that your life will look the way to want it to look, and with a little creativity, you can make anything work. So, we'll see. We haven't completely decided yet if this is the path we are taking, and timing is an incredibly tricky thing given the deployments and life abroad in general... but the idea is currently bringing more excitement than trepidation. Perhaps it's simply the next adventure in the cards, if not the ultimate one.
