Nostalgia

Hubby and I spent the day cramming in a bunch of errands. We had a wonderful brunch and headed into Boulder. I love the days when we laugh and joke and enjoy each other so much. When we were driving home I got so sad. We have less than 3 months left of just us. We have been trying for a child for over 2 years now and so much of our focus has been on that process. I told him I was getting a little sad that, even though the most amazing little one is coming into our lives, we are leaving a huge chapter of our time together. I cannot help feeling so sad about leaving the way it has been for 11 years. I am so thrilled for this new chapter but I am just realizing that a huge chunk of our way of life will be packed away for some time.

Meg,
This little guy will change your world. Just remeber that through it all your spouse is your partner. Once the baby is grown and gone -- you will only have your partner there. Always put each other first (some may argue). Enjoy these times with your husband. Don't forget to ask your husband for help!

It is strange to think that after all we've gone through to bring a child into this world, we forget how much things will change once they do get here!

Cherish this time and embrace the future that's sure to be full of adventure, challenges and love. :)

It won't ever be the same, but seeing your husband hold your new baby and care for you in those early weeks are so amazingly awesome...:)

the exciting news is you're starting a new chapter complete with its own joys that you and DH will share. i bet it'll bring you closer (or at least that's what I'm hoping it does for us). =)

I've been thinking the same thing. Our lives have pretty much revolved around 'pick up and go' for so long.

One of my best friends keeps telling me that, even though I don't truly understand it now, once the baby is here we will wonder what we did before.

Part of me misses our old life but the other part of me can't wait for the new.

This may sound totally cheesy, but you will fall in love with your husband all over again watching him with your little one.

My husband and I got so close while we were TTC and when we went through our miscarriage...I thought we really couldn't be closer. Now that Maddie's here, we're even closer, and if it's possible, I love him even more. It's amazing watching him fall in love with another girl, and we still find us time in the midst of all the newborn madness.
