So the other day when I looked at a calendar I realized that
around this time last year I had an OBGYN Dr. tell me, that I would probably
never be able to get pregnant on my own; Over the phone no less. I hit an all-time emotional low, and after a
few weeks felt like God was telling me to snap out of it and start taking care
of myself and focus on my husband. And now when I think back to then, I give
the baby that “probably never would be” an extra squeeze and kiss, then
continue to praise God for his blessings. Because I stopped worrying about other people
so much and worrying about my husband and truly making more of an effort to be
an “obedient/honorable” wife, I feel that our relationship is stronger and
better than it has ever been. We laugh and marvel that we’ve been “together”
for eleven years now and we’re still as crazy about one another as we were back
in high school. We used to dream about what life would be like if we ever had a
baby, and now we get to live it!! I remembered one day a dream Jason told me he
had way back then about me picking our sleeping baby up off his chest, at the
precise moment I was picking Baby Richard up from him while the two of them
were passed out sleeping. J
Just goes to show that Dreams really do come true.
Baby Richard, is now almost three months old. At his two
month check-up on September 29th he weighed 12.8 pounds, and was
22.83 inches. Recently when I took him into the Dr. because he has some red
spots/sores in his little fat rolls between his legs, he weighed 14.85 pounds
and was 23.75 inches long! He’s been sleeping for about ten and a half hours
each night, which has allowed me to get some much needed sleep.
I have been very hesitant to take him off base to go for
walks or shopping, mainly because he still has some pretty baby blue eyes. I
keep hoping they change colors to look more like Jason’s eyes but at the same
time I secretly hope that they stay their pretty blue. When I go home for Christmas
I really want to get a picture of my dad with his three blue eyed grandsons. So
my fingers are crossed that his eyes will at least stay blue until he gets to
go to the states and meet all the family.
For the time being Jason and I are enjoying our time
together. And I love watching him with Richard. I can honestly say I don’t
think I’m ready for Jason to leave us again so soon, but I will endeavor to
handle the upcoming separation no matter what.
