For my graduation present my parents got Jeremy and I a 3D ultrasound of our little man and here are some of my favorites! It looks like he has my nose and Jeremy's face. I noticed especially when Jeremy sleeps, it is the exact same face as Lucas, and I already adore it!! The one feature he did not get from either of us, but that I find absolutely adorable, is a dimple on his left cheek next to his mouth...I LOVE him already!

This post is a little late but June 10th was Jeremy and I's two year anniversary. It amazes me that we have only been married 2 years and at the same time I feel like our wedding was just yesterday! Over the past two years we have had some amazing moments and some sucky moments haha. We have made it through a car being stolen, our puppy almost dying, Jeremy having 3 different jobs, etc... but it has all been worth it! We had our very first apartment together, trained a very stubborn puppy (who is now 2 years old), and now we are about to become parents. Here are some pics from our "budget friendly but still fun" anniversary =D Both of us waiting for the movie to begin.
While listening to this song in the car yesterday, it really hit me that my life is about to change and there are a lot of seasons of my life that are done but so many that are about to begin! Seasons that are over -High School Marching Band -Late night runs to King Soopers for Sobes -Cake fights in the high school parking lot -Mixing a bunch of energy drinks and watching the boys run laps around the block (NOT SMART! We did not know the dangers back then of energy drinks) -Proms -Trips to France and Ireland -Living in the dorm -Staying up till 3am with friends and then getting up at 7am for college classes -Late night texting with my husband who was in TN in college at the time -Going out the clubs -Spending money on anything I want -The college "experience" Seasons Newly Ended or About to End -Going grocery shopping at 10pm -Nursing School! -My husband and I having drinks on a Friday night -Going to the movies without a babysitter -Going anywhere on a whim -Nights playing video games and scrapbooking -Vacations without a carseat and stroller -Sleeping in -Naps whenever we want -Midnight movie releases -St Paddy's day -Watching TV shows at any time of the day Seasons About to Begin
-Baby giggles -Late night feedings -Diapers -Teething -Sticky hands -Disney Movies (lets be honest these were always around they are just about to increase) -Kid's TV shows -Kid friendly music -Baby cuddles -PTA meetings and bake sales -Boy scouts -Soccer games -Baby cries -Loving a child more than we ever knew was possible! I found myself a few days ago praying about a job interview my husband had and this was part of my prayer:
"Lord I have faith that you can make everything work out, I do NOT have faith that everything will turn out exactly how I want it, nor that it will work out in my time schedule, but I DO have faith that you will make everything work out for the best, and for that I am so thankful, please give me patience as I wait..." For the last 9 months, Jeremy and I have been fortunate enough to live with my parents while I finished school and we caught up on some of our debts we had accumulated both before we got married and since. Come April we were starting to look to move out since we were much more stable financially, except we got news that Jeremy's company was to be bought out and he has until the end of July before the company lays everyone off... Ever since hearing this news we have been a bit distraught, and I have been disappointed in the thought of not being able to move out and start a nursery for our little boy. The thought of waiting for Jeremy to get a job starting August 1st therefore moving weeks before I am due, has also stressed me out. But Jeremy keeps telling me to trust him and that God is in control and he will make it all work out. So honestly I was a bit surprised myself for my prayer, because I have not trusted or had faith in God but I needed to realize that even though he may not make everything come together in my time, he will make it work, and we have been unbelievably blessed with family and friends who have helped us so much financially and emotionally over the past 9 months. Without the help of my parents we would be bankrupt, without the help of family friends we would not have been able to afford saving our puppy's life back in November, our church family has helped support our faith, both families have helped guide us, and thanks to God we are blessed to be pregnant and expecting a healthy boy in August. I can not think of two people who have more to be thankful for...=) |
