Baby Thoughts #1


Baby Dobbins is coming!  And so far she has been coming on strong.  For the brief time this baby has been on earth (inside my stomach, of course) she has definitely made her presence know to us…through lots and lots of lovely morning sickness.  The kind that doesn’t stop after the morning.  I’ve still been working and Andrew has still been working and going to school, and we are both still RA’s every other week.  Which means we have had to let a few things go a little bit.  Housework has been one of those things that has dropped down low on the priority list.  But we are getting by and making it all work.

BUT.  We are happy.  We are both working hard for our future in many ways.  We are working hard to earn money.  Andrew is working hard to do well in school to secure a good future for our little family.  And we are both working hard to spend lots of much needed time together before our life changes forever more. 

Everyday I am happy about it.  But some days I’m also scared.  Scared of everything that comes with a baby.  Sometimes when we’re sitting here in the living room together I look and Andrew and say “I’m gonna miss you.”  And he says, "But I'm gonna be right here!"  I’ve heard so much about how a baby changes the marriage relationship more than almost anything.  

But I think we'll be okay.  No, I KNOW we'll be just fine.  More than fine, we'll be wonderfully happy!!
