Christian and Amelia Ruark (Steele) celebrate their weddinganniversary today.

Dear diary,

I'm pregnant! I'm so excited. Finaly Christian and I will be parents. We have been married for a little over a year and now finaly a positive pregnancytest. I'm so relieved. I already was thinking that I couldn't have children like my mom. But now the Lord has shown us that you should never give up hope. I'll thank him everyday for his many blessings.

Christian was very enthousiastic. It must have been hard for him not having any children to give the familyname too as the oldest living Ruark brother. I hope we will have a baby boy.

Love, Amelia

Dear diary,

Nine months married and two weddings further, a new niece on Christians side and soon there will be a new nephew or niece on my side too. Hudson and Luna are expecting their first. They got married after us but are already pregnant while I'm not. They will have a baby by their first anniversary and it's the question if I will even be pregnant when Christian and I will celebrate being married one year. It hurts. I want a baby too. I want to become a mother too. And I'm scared. Scared to go the same route as my mother did. I don't want to adopt. I want my own baby.

Love, Amelia

Dear diary,

I'm an married woman now. It feels weird and unrealistic but it's the truth. I'm married for the law, for God, and physically. I don't want to think about it. It wasn't really nice of something like that. I don't know the words to describe it. It's just weird. Seeing him naked. I have never seen a man naked and then suddenly him. Yeah, not completly suddenly. I knew it would happen once you get married. But still. It was weird. I wasn't really prepared for that. And while I'm not eager to do it again, he is. He makes jokes about it all the time.

My sister in law is pregnant. And I'm very happy for her. She has waited so long for this. I hope I won't have to. It does scare me sometimes. My mom and dad wanted children so badly but couldn't altought they tried so many times. That I finaly arrived after they adopted Landon and Hudson was a surprise. I hope Christian and I don't have to adopt to become parents. Being a mother sounds wonderful.

Love, Amelia
