Expecting- ETA- 9/20

Better late than never. 2011 is promising to be an interesting year. Matthew and I are expecting our first child this September! I guess that means all bets are off if you were part of the group of people mocking our wedding lol. Sorry to disappoint, but we got pregnant in January :) And we couldn't be happier.

Tomorrow I will be 21 weeks. Pregnancy has been kind to me. I believe that this is a very mellow baby, like his father. When I say kind, I don't mean drama free. I have had more than my share of horrors this pregnancy and don't wish to go into detail explaining them. Tomorrow we have our 5th ultrasound!

2011 means saying hello to a new baby and saying goodbye to a loved friend. My beloved dog Dino, passed away suddenly in the middle of a person tornado. I have never been more depressed in my entire life, than I was when Dino died. He died right on my lap, with a great big smile on his face. He was 11 years old and the best damn dog I could have ever asked for. He was the dog everyone loved to hate but he could always cheer you up. He was my best friend....my baby and I miss him more than any human being I have ever known. He was the last part of my old life... and the last thing I could hold on too to having that life back. Now he is gone...just like my old family. Now I get to focus on starting my own family...a new beginning.

The tornado has settled for now and I can smile again. Marrying Matthew was the best thing I could have ever done. He makes me so happy. He is going to be such a great father. He is my everything and all I need in this world to be happy. I am so blessed to have him in my life and for us to watch our love grow into a wonderful little baby. No doubt about it, this baby is going to be loved to pieces. We have a wonderful support group and amazing friends.

I love my new life. It is everything I could have wanted it to be a more. I have always been a believer in fate. I look back on my life one year ago and I was wedding planning (the good, the bad, the ugly) and didn't think I could get any happier (despite the drama) but I am a zillion times happier now, than I was then. Crazy things are happening and I always knew things would be ok...the rest of the world just needs to chill.

So happy :)
