I always knew I wanted to have children. Coming from a large family and being surrounded by babies as I grew up, I couldn’t imagine not having children of my own. I met Dean at 23, and as our relationship progressed we discussed having a family and agreed that was something we wanted. We married and luckily fell pregnant two months after our honeymoon. The speed with which it happened was surprising, but we were excited to welcome a little piece of us both.
