3rd Rate Romance

Modern day romance is such a jip in comparison to the past. I can't help but long for the days that I have never known in my lifetime but that our grandparents and their parents knew regularly. I imagine that every day started with a kiss and ended with a kiss, that every dance reminded them of earlier days and that every child they produced was a token of their two hearts combined into one. They prayed and ate together, they spent their weekends together and they never forgot their love for one another. In our present day society, people throw around the word "divorce" like a dice and use it as a weapon against the other person. It is so easy to split nowadays that hardly anyone makes an effort to stay together anymore. What happened to forever? Did it become too long and rendering in actuality? People simply don't care anymore. Bring back the romance people. Give each other a hug, just because. When you look at your partner, remember what you fell in love with them for in the first place. Do something small for the other person every single day, no matter what it may be. And most of all, cherish your marriage, your love, your family and your time together. And know that you have something special and rare these days. True romance.

Baby Tumbler

Baby Caden is tumbling and squirming so very much now! My gestational diabetes test came out normal and they moved my c-section date to November 29th instead of November 26th because of the Thanksgiving holiday. I am 28 weeks and 4 days along today and I am starting to feel anxious for Caden's arrival! I am so happy and blessed to have this amazing experience of carrying him in my womb. I love and adore him so very much. And I know that with each passing day, my love for him will only grow stronger :)

Baby Shower

The baby shower for Caden yesterday was wonderful. We got so much stuff for him including but not limited to a bassinet, pack n play, baby gym, Leapfrog chair, a Bumbo seat, diapers, bottles, a bath set and lots of clothes. It was a great event and we are so blessed to have a family and friends that love us. Josh made an awesome cake and we all played classic shower games. The turkey, dressing and fruit salad were delicious. Baby Caden is already a very blessed and lucky boy! He must have known he was being showered yesterday because he kicked so much! Haha. Love you Caden and everyone is so excited that we get to finally meet you come November :)

Moving Into Fall

I love the feeling in the air this time of year. Summer is moving out and Fall is rearing it's head. You can feel it upon waking in the morning...the crisp, cool breeze that surrounds you and when you step outside, you can smell the beginning of a brand new climate and season. Those hot, sweltering summer days will soon be a memory. I am waiting anxiously because we will see our son born this season, seriously miraculous. I love him so very much and I haven't even met him yet. How is that possible? My hopes and dreams for him are endless but most of all, I wish him a happy, long and healthy life. I look forward to holding him in my arms for the very first time, to singing him to sleep at night and to seeing his first baby smile. I know that he is the greatest blessing and a reminder that I must have done something right in my life, somewhere. And I want him to know that no matter what our future holds together, that he is the most important person in my life and always will be. He is already my heart and soul. I never really favored change but maybe, just maybe, change is good sometimes. The season is changing, my body is changing every single day, our lives are changing to accommodate a very special little man that we will soon call our own. And I truly couldn't ask for more. Thank you God!
