. . . of my own personal blog. Sometimes there are things that I would like to write down so I will remember later, but don't want to tell the whole blogging world. So this is the beginning of my own personal journal. I have invited Rob to write in it as well if he wants to.
Well, the first exciting news is that I am pregnant! We are so excited. Rob and I had been trying to get pregnant for four months. I guess that doesn't seem like a very long time, but Tate was conceived in one month and I am naturally an impatient person. I took a pregnancy test on Tuesday (the 2nd). The test is still on my bathroom coutner, wrapped in a tissue. I still like to look at it. Right now my due date (according to an online calculator) is August 8, 2009. So I am baout 4 weeks along. My first doctor's appointment is set for Janaury 7, 2009. We told my family and Brittany the day we found out, but Rob wants to tell his family for Christmas. He is much more patient than I am!
We told my family by letting Tate open a present we said we found on the front porch. It was a shirt that said "Big Brother." I guess because I told them that we found the gift on the front porch, everyone just thought it was a weird present and didn't catch on. I even put the shirt on Tate so he could parade around in it, but still nothing! I finally had to say something like "how could Tate be a big brother, unless . . .?" Then it kicked in and everyone was happy for us! I hope it goes a little smoother with Rob's family.
Right now Tate is sleeping and probably won't get up for the day for another 30 minutes. He currently sleeps in until usually 9am. I really like the current sleeping schedule. He is such a wonderful little boy. I love him more than anything in this world. I love to watch him play and discover. He is very happy and loving. I always think that I want to cherish the hugs and kisses because they won't last forever. I am grateful for Tate and for Rob. I kind of feel like Rob saved my life. My childhood was often full of conflict, fighting, and unhappiness (not to say I would catagorize my childhood as unhappy). Rob came along and brought so much happiness and laughter. I know that we will raise our children in a home full of laughter and love. He makes me a better person all around. I need to work harder to be a better wife just to pay him back for all he has done for me. I am so blessed.
