For as long as she can remember she wanted a family. A big one. 4. 5. 6. Ten babies even. The more the better. Tammy couldn’t wait to be a mom.
Growing up Tammy had heard the stories before. Her mom had 13 siblings. Her dad 5. But for her parents, having children of their own wasn’t an easy thing. After 10 years of heartache, many miscarriages and doctors saying it would never happen, they were almost ready to give up. Almost. Until something amazing happened. They were expecting a baby. So knowing these stories, Tammy was scared that she might have a hard time getting pregnant too. And worried that her daydreams about a big family might not come true. She counted the minutes until her and Lee could start trying.
Three times Lee suspected that Tammy was pregnant. After two negative tests Tammy couldn’t bring herself to see a negative sign and insisted that Lee check this one instead. Her heart raced a mile a minute. Her could barely breathe. And a million thoughts flooded her head. The minutes seemed to take years. But when she saw the huge grin on Lee’s face (and a little bit of fear in his eyes) she knew instantly. Positive. They were going to have a baby. As Tammy squealed with excitement she felt a sigh of relief. And daydreamed again about a big family. 4. 5. 6. Ten babies even. But for now they’d start with just one.
