Let me count the ways I love you...

Strawberry rhubarb pie for my loving husband of 4.5 years. Because without him, this journey would seem very lonely and sad.

I love you more today than ever before.

To Fatherhood

Seth,

I knew from the beginning you were going to be a great Dad. You love our kids so much and you never fail to let them know. They think you are pretty cool. And I do too.

This baby loves her Daddy

So, Nora used to be a Mama's girl all the way, but recently she has really been loving on her Daddy. She loves to cuddle with Seth (as seen above) She also goes to bed better if he puts her down. She just wants me for the milk and then she wants to love on her Daddy. I think this is a little unfair, but very sweet.

{Love}

Can I just say that I am loving my new necklace my hubby gave me for Mother's Day.....

Perfect Timing

Seth started back at school this week. He has night classes from 6-10:30 Mon-Sat. He does this for two weeks straight and then has two weeks off, and then starts up again with one week on, one week off. The program is 5 months long, but intense.

So far, we are on day 3 of school and I am feeling pretty good about it all. I was worried that I would feel so lonely and it would be so difficult, but I have little to complain about. It has also only be 2 nights without him so far, but it has given me a good glimpse into what most nights will look like here.

Luckily, the babies are feeling much better and Aidan has been so happy in the evenings, that I haven't really had many issues with that side of things. I am still feeling pretty crummy all around, but I have mustered up enough strength to get Aidan to bed, clean up the kitchen, watch a little tv, and then collapse into bed.

Even though this particular part of pregnancy can be pretty exhausting, I am happy that I am so inclined to sleep right now because that way I don't miss Seth as much. I am in bed around 9 and don't even hear him come home. Now, I miss seeing him and all, but at least I am not trying to fill the whole time with activities. Instead of feeling lonely, I just sleep the time away. :)

I know that somewhere along the way, I will feel the opposite about this situation, but starting out positive sounds like a good plan to me.

Oh and by the way, I am in my 8th week of pregnancy. Baby is due around Sept. 20th. We are excited and I am thrilled to be due in Sept. because I had really hoped to plan it out that way. It just happened to work out! Once I get through the icky first trimester, I know I will feel even more excited. It is am amazing thing!
