Birth Control

I went visiting teaching last night.  My partner (companion??), Jaime, had a baby girl (Peyton) at the end of August, and this was the first time she's come since then.  We only visit teach one girl, Kelsi, because the other one moved and the one besides her refuses to return our many messages.  But I love Kelsi.  :)  She and her hubby, Josh, have been married for a year and a half and are so super cute.  As soon as Jaime and I walked in with baby Peyton, Josh was ALL. OVER. her (the baby-not Jaime).  He wanted to hold and cuddle her.  It was honestly adorable.  Kelsi held Peyton as we heard Jaime's labor and deliver story (4 HOURS of pushing!).

Kelsi said that she and Josh have been talking about starting their family, but they don't feel like it's quite the right time yet.  Getting closer, but not yet.  A lot of people in the Church put so much emphasis on having a baby RIGHT AWAY and "waiting is wrong."  

(True story-when Shane and I had been married for a year and weren't pregnant or thinking about it, I had a couple of women in my ward ask me if I wanted the number to their fertility specialist.)

Anyway, in an effort to take the pressure off of the newlyweds, I figured I would add my two cents in to what Jaime was saying about being so, so, so tired and then having a rough L&D.  I told Kelsi, "Babies will come.  Be patient.  In fact, you know that you're ready for a baby when you're ready to give up sleep and freedom."

Jaime was nodding in agreement.

We are such great, motivational visiting teachers.  ;)
