primal motherhood

Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to be a mommy. I grew up the youngest of 10 kids, and my first nephew was born before my first birthday. He was followed by many more nieces & nephews (the current count is 33, not including 2 in-laws and 3 greats!) and I spent my childhood playing with my *live* dolls, changing diapers and rocking sleepy babies. My greatest dream was to marry young, have babies & live happily ever after.

At 18, I did indeed meet my true love and married within 9 months. We knew we wanted to wait 2-3 years for a baby, and with no trouble we got pregnant & had a due date on our 3rd anniversary! Buster was born 6 days early, induced because of high blood pressure (150/110) and eventually a C-section due to fetal distress. He was a dream baby – happy, healthy & laid back. I was so psyched to finally have my *own* live doll, that I determined I could do it all myself. I pushed away all help, even from my hubby, thinking that I could do it better. So Tech Guy dutifully stepped back and I got my wish of independence… but it was not all it was cracked up to be. When Buster was 10 months, I finally admitted to my Dr I was depressed – all I did at home was sleep & cry – and he prescribed meds. Life continued on…

We knew we wanted another baby, and soon! Our first thought was to space them 18 months apart, but then Tech Guy’s family planned a week-long family trip to Orlando, so we put it off. Once again we got pregnant immediately and Noodle’s due date was set for 26 months after Buster. He was born 9 days early via elective C-section and that’s when real life began to set in. Noodle was a screamer – he screamed & fussed every waking minute, and his poor little tummy just churned & gurgled. It was so frustrating not knowing how to help him… we tried chiropractors, massage therapists, essential oils… you name it, but the truth was he had colic, which the doctors told us has no cure and it is unknown what causes it…

…to be continued…

I have been wanting to blog about my decision to get married and have children young too because its something that so many people just don't understand. I always get asked about "missing my youth" ect. I can't wait to read the to be continued part! :)

I married at just-shy-of-21, but we waited for six years before having our first. And our two go just like you describe your two, the first was a "trick" baby. The second was the trick, haha!

You know, thats an interesting post. I hope the second part is written soon.
Im a young woman who does not wish to have children anytime soon. However, I support others who do. If you and your husband managed to find love that young then that's wonderful. I am pleased you have a third child on the way. I wish the best of health to you and yours.
I also might suggest that if you do wish to have a little girl consider adopting. It really is a wonderful thing.

What a great story! I didn't know you came from such a large family! I'm anxious to hear the end of the story too. :)
