3 months

Three months ago today, Will and I were married. It honestly seems like a lifetime ago....that's not a bad thing. On June 23, I was focused on our wedding day and looking forward to a relaxing honeymoon. It's amazing how much life has changed in just a few short months. 

It hasn't all been easy. Getting married is a huge adjustment. Even though we had been dating for awhile, I now make every decision based on "we" instead of "me". The minor stuff seems to be the hardest...what colors to paint the house, how to decorate the bedroom, how to organize the kitchen...the list goes on and on. So while we have been busy adjusting to our new life, we are now getting into "parent mode". It's like double adjustment. Many of our conversations include discussions about deductibles, budgets, planning holidays with families...when did we grow up??

This past Wednesday I went for my 12 week appointment. My midwife previously told me that we wouldn't do an ultrasound, just listen to the heartbeat. That is the sweetest sound I have ever heard. I could listen to it all day. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. I can't wait for the day that I get to hold our precious baby and see that sweet face. However, I don't want this time to go by too quickly (I might not be saying the same thing in five months). I will never have another opportunity like this with our child. I will try to cherish every moment of this pregnancy.

The best thing about being pregnant right now is having an awesome husband to share it with. I am blessed with more than I deserve. He works so hard to provide for me and our future family. I am beyond proud of the man he is. He is my best friend, my partner, and the love my life. 

Ok...enough sappy, yucky stuff. Next blog post will be some of the awesome pregnancy questions from my 7th graders. I'm sure they will give me more to add to the list this week. I love my job! :)
