The Goldsmith's are growing

In December Scott and I started looking ahead. Scott is going to be graduating this May and we've been telling our mothers (because they ask so often) that we will start looking into it once Scott gets a job. But, as per usual, I am not the most patient person. An example of this might be every time we watch anything on reality TV or sporting event and are a few minutes behind on the recording. I always know how it ends...in real time.
Anyway in November Scott and I began talking about starting our family. Many people have issues getting pregnant so I was anxious to get started incase in took a long time. After many prayers it was decided that we would start our family! Oddly two days before we decided to start Kevin and Jo announced that they were about 9 weeks pregnant. The Goldsmith family is going to have a lot of new babies this year!


I was very frustrated that getting pregnant didn't just happen on our first try and doubts that we would ever be able to get pregnant started to appear. I know that is crazy because the average time for a couple to conceive is 8 months but I am far too skeptical to be optimistic. After getting my hopes up twice I realized that I needed to stop putting so much pressure on Scott, and on my self for that matter. So after 3 failed attempts we got the greatest news we've ever had. On Sunday morning I woke up and took a test. That little faint line making a plus sign was about to change our lives forever. We still don't believe it...it doesn't feel real. Tomorrow we will be 5 weeks along and our little miracle is growing away. We are still about a month out until first doctors appointment but we are so excited to see our little cutie!
Just this week we also realized that we have never even been over potential baby names. But being us we decided on two in about 5 minutes. Robin if it's a girl and Henry if it's a boy. We have several months of planning and changes ahead the next year and will keep posting our life adventures. Baby Goldsmith will be joining the family right during BYU football season, but the baby was luckily timed well enough to come the week of two away games so dad doesn't miss any games. Our little miracle is due October 15, 2017 and we are so excited. Today our baby is still the size of a poppy seed so we are waiting on her/him to keep growing!
