Celebrating six years- 36wks 1 day

Today is our sixth wedding anniversary.

I would love to say the time has flown, and it's been such a wonderful six years but that would be a lie. It's been a long hard six years, but today as I look back I'm not sure I would change a single thing.

I have learned a lot about myself, I am so much stronger then I ever thought I could be. If four years ago when we started trying to have a baby you had told me what I would have to go through to get there, I would have thought no way....I can't do that. But with every m/c, with every dr appt, with every failed cycle I got a little stronger.

Not only did I get stronger but our relationship has too. It took some big blows over the last few years and I will be honest there were days I thought we wouldn't survive it. But we have and it has brought us closer.

I also think we learned a lot about each other through the process, I learned that even in my darkest moments when I felt like there was no hope, that I was all alone in this, I was actually never alone. Not for one single moment, I always had a rock standing right next to me begging to be leaned on. Did I always lean on him? No, there were plenty of times that I tried like hell to push that rock away from me, but guess what he never budged!

We both did a lot of growing up in the last six years, what choice did we have? We were faced with things we never thought we would have to deal with. We learned that the world is not all puppy dogs, and rainbows. We learned that sometimes you have to work for what you want, truly work for it. Something neither of us ever had to do, both being only children. We became a lot less selfish along the way also.

All things we needed to learn before we could bring a baby into this world. Before we could be the amazing parents we're about to be. Funny how things work huh?

I love this man more today then the day I said "I do", he is the man I was meant to travel down this road with. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Happy Anniversary Babe!

Let the sleeping late begin - 35wks 4 days

Ahhh, no more work!!!

I am free at last, first thing on the agenda SLEEP! I have been so tired lately I am looking forward to not having to be up at 6am every morning =) I do have a long list of things I have to do in the next few weeks, but for today they can wait I am going to just relax and enjoy my first day off.

Baby shower! 35wks 3 days

Today was my shower! I had such a great time, it was so great to be surrounded by all of our loved ones. The people who have been there over the years praying for us.

We got a TON of gifts which was just so overwhelming! It took 5 cars to get it all home. As I sit here in my living room I am surrounded by gifts! Looks like I will be spending the next week putting everything away! We got all the big items that we NEEDED and an ton of clothes. They of course were all 0-3 months so we're gonna have a naked baby after 3 months but none the less, he will be one well dressed little guy!

I can't believe we are 3.5 weeks away from him being here. I am so excited to meet him, but also starting to freak out a little too. Well, ready or not here he comes!

Nursery is finished 35 wks 2 days

As of tonight the nursery is officially finished!

We put up the name decal tonight, the bedding is on the crib, all we are waiting for is the baby!

Tomorrow is my shower so hopefully we will be all set and have everything we need to bring the little guy home!

Time is starting to fly, he will be here before we know it!

Last week of work- 34wks 3 days

Five days!! I only have five days of work left WHOO HOO!!!

I know this week is going to go super slow. I am so excited to have a few weeks off before the little guy comes to get stuff done around here. My shower is this Sunday too, which I am so excited about. Having the time off before the little guy gets here will give me time to put everything away and wash some of his clothes.

I can't believe how close we are! I am so excited but soooo scared too! I can't believe I'm gonna be a mommy =)

The furniture is here- 33wks 3 days

I called yesterday to set up delivery for this weekend, but they told me that they would not be able to deliver this weekend. They said they would be in the area today and could deliver it today, other wise it would have to be delivered in 2wks. I really wanted the furniture here before my shower so I can put things away and have the room semi set up before all the gifts get dumped in that room. Dh was kind enough to stay home and wait for the delivery, I really had to twist his arm on this one.

I was so excited I had to come home on my lunch to see it. I love it! The color is a little darker then I was expecting but I am still very happy with it. I raced home after work and washed the bedding, I was so excited to put it all together! I think it is definitely something he will grow into and hopefully be his furniture till he leaves us :'o(



I sat in the rocking chair last night looking at the beautifully painted walls, imaging where I wanted the furniture, and I welled up with tears. I never thought I would be here. I never thought there would be a crib in my house. I am so blessed and so thankful for this wonderful gift we have been given.
