Fall being here tends to do this to me. It's the time of the year that Col and I met and started dating. Our first "hangout" we laid on Linrose Road and looked at the stars in the crisp fall air. Our first official date was to a USU football game. Something about fall just makes me fall in love all over again!
As I've been looking back I've realized just how much life we have experienced together! We have been high school dances together, supported each other in sports, Col was there when my parents got divorced and my rock through it all, we have both experienced the college life, the poor married couple life, travelled to many places together, started a small business, stayed up late stressed over decisions, watched each other's testimonies grow and supported each other in jobs. All of this and more yet somehow this sweet baby boy on the way makes me feel like our lives together have only just begun.
I have cherished these three years just the two of us, and a part of me is sad that this chapter is coming to an end. It will never just be the two of us anymore. And although our love for each other will continue to grow, our hearts will be shared with cute kids. That being said, I know children will bring us more joy than we can imagine. So with that in mind I'm taking in these last two months with just the two of us. These are days we will never get back.
As for the pregnancy goes, things are about the same. I go a few days feeling pretty good then have a couple really bad days where nothing stays down which sends me to IV therapy. Then I feel good again for a bit until I don't and the cycle repeats itself. I'm over it, and ready to be done. There's not much more to say about it. Just counting down the days!
Baby boy has been sooo crazy the last two weeks. He moves and kicks all day long. I'm always calling him my wild child. It's so cute when he gets the hiccups! I still can't believe there's a human inside of me!! So dang crazy. My heartburn is unreal, and I don't sleep well at all! I'm always hot, and even freeze out my husband in the car, and can only sleep with a sheet at night. Even that is too much sometimes!
Collin has been busy on the farm. They are chopping corn and his hours are long. It makes those sick days long and hard because he is so tired when he gets home that I'm lucky to have 30 mins of conversation before he is zonked out for the night. He's a good good guy. He works three jobs to try to make up for my loss of income and to support our family. Did I mention he's a good guy? Seriously, the best.
Not much more is going on, other than we are moving to a different rental. I'm really excited about it. It will be good for us. Although I'm slightly tired of the renting thing. I want to make a house "our home". In time I guess!
Thanks for all the kindness you have all shown us the past couple months! We so appreciate all our sweet friends and family. Now bring on the next 9 and a half weeks. I'm ready to meet my son. :)
Love!
