Our new reality!

10 Facts about RIGHT NOW.

• It's August, the dog days of summer are here.

• I am fully aware I will be in my second and third trimester during the hottest, muggiest time of the year in San Diego and I am so not looking forward to this.

• Our vacation to St. Maarten could not come soon enough. We need a vacation. We also need a Babymoon.  Most people have their families join their Babymoon’s right?!....no one?

• Other than a ridiculous amount of clothes, we also bought Mabel’s Crib & Dresser.  Even though we will not be setting it up anytime soon, I cannot wait to see everything come together. 

• I stare at Mabel’s Sonogram picture 46x a day.  

• My days have gotten 46x better.

• I love referring to our spare bedroom now as “Mabel’s room”

• Mabel kicks are the best pick me up.  The other night Jeff was able to feel how strong her kicks are getting.

• The realization that we are going to be parents does not feel real at all. 

Sweet baby girl

• Penny is completely unaware of how much her world is going to change, nor will she understand.  That dog has brought Jeff and I together in ways I never thought a dog could. She has taught us the beginning stages of how to parent, what our parenting skills will be like and how to compromise on our differences.  She may be a dog, but Penny is way more than that.  I think only dog owners can truly understand what that type of love is.
