An Anniversary Announcement!

 
   
Today is our two year wedding anniversary, but it also marks another important milestone for Chris and me. Today I am officially out of my first trimester, and can officially announce that we are expecting a little one this November! 


I can't even believe that two years ago today, Chris and I became husband and wife, and celebrated the best day of our lives. In some ways, it feels like only yesterday, and in other ways, it feels like a lifetime ago. I look through these pictures and even after two years, I think we look like babies!
 

And now here we are, two years later, ready to start the next chapter of our lives! 

 You can absolutely expect all many of my posts to be "pregnancy and baby related" for the next...well...foreseeable future. In just three months, I have learned a LOT, and done a ton of research on topics I've never even thought about. I'll share things I've learned and have yet to learn, questions on various things, and general thoughts and experiences throughout my pregnancy. So if babies aren't you're thing - I hope you'll still stop by for my occasional recipes and book reviews!


Any advice for this first-time-mother-to be?

Linking up with Kristin for Baby Talk Tuesday

  1. My advice-leave the dust and dirt and savor the treasures that really matter. Your children will never remember how clean your house was or how many times you had cereal for dinner. They will remember how you held their hand while crossing a creek or how you would spontaneously start to dance. If it is true that you can predict the future by looking to the past than you and Christopher will be awesome parents- look how awesome you have been as children! A long comment I know but I've actually cut it down. Congratulations to you both!!!!!

  5. Laura!!!! Congratulations on your pregnancy! Hope you are feeling well and are being doted on by everyone around you (esp. the hubs). You will be an excellent mother for sure. Enjoy your time planning and preparing... My advice is to not stress out about all the madness of acquiring crazy baby accessories. All the baby really needs when they arrive are some diapers, a blanket, a pacifier, and most importantly- YOU.

    Good luck with everything. All the trials of pregnancy are well worth the end result. I know you've met your match with Chris... but you can look forward to falling in love all over again. This time with a completely unique and perfect soul knit together from the love you have for one another. Enjoy Enjoy! Love you!

    1. ALEXIS!! Oh my goodness it was so nice to hear from you!! I've been very lucky so far and have been feeling really great (other than getting tired and winded very easily) and yes...being pregnant is kind of awesome...everyone makes all sorts of concessions for you and stuff!

      Thanks for the advice, it's def. good to know and keep in mind. I haven't done any shopping yet..but I know once I do, I'm going to feel insanely overwhelmed.

      Chris and I are so very excited for this next chapter, and seeing the pictures of your adorable little boy on facebook just melts my heart every time. I'm so happy for you and your family, and can't wait to get started on mine!
