Last week in our first trimester. 1/3 the way down! This milestone makes me incredibly excited because we're out of the dark (mostly) for miscarriages, but also gets me a little scared because already 1/3 of this journey is over! I can feel myself start to panic about not having things ready for him/her yet, silly right! But nonetheless still happening.
This week I have been reflecting a lot on my husband and I. Probably because I'm seeing him finally in a week! I'm so thankful that we waited for this. I always knew I wanted to be a mother. I just didn't really know when. By the time this miracle makes an appearance into this world we will have been together for just shy of seven years, 5.5 of those years married. We've definitely took advantage of our time with just us two. We've literally traveled the world many times, paid off all our debt, both graduated college, went on hundreds of date nights, had thousands of sleep-in mornings, taken those spontaneous adventures, and I finally feel like we're ready for that most exciting adventure of all. I'm beyond grateful for the memories we've made before this kid, because we wouldn't be as strong, stable and so sure that we're ready to take this on without that time.
Now we look forward to different adventures like first steps, first family photos, first family vacations.....
You are our greatest adventure.
