I was looking back on my blog history for this year to find that I have posted a whopping 1 blog a month. Pretty sad. Now that I am done with school, I vow to become a better blogger. Of course, it doesn't hurt that I have more interesting stuff to write about as well.
June flew by. During that month I started my third trimester, and celebrated 4 years of marriage. I'm not sure which one brought me more happiness. It's hard to believe we've been married 4 years. Doesn't seem like it's been that long. I guess that is a good thing. I often wonder how a baby will change our marriage. I recently finished a book titled "After the Baby" all about how the introduction of a child completley changes some marriages. The intent of the book was not to scare people off from having children, but it more of an educational book about what to expect. After reading this book, I am even more appreciative that Sherman and I are a little older entering parenthood. I think that being a little older, we are better equipped to handle the stress about to head our way. Honestly, I'm not worried much about the first 4 months. I think we will do well while I am at home. I am worried more about what it will be like once I go back to work. The one place where Sherman and I have never done real well is with total dependence on each other to make something work. Now, that probably sounds weird, but both him and I are very independent people who are capable of handling most anything on our own. It's not to say we don't totally enjoy being married...but it took us almost 2 years of marriage to establish a "joint" checking account. I'm sure some of you will think that is absolutley nuts...but it's worked for us.
So now we are going to be forced to lean on each other, and figure out how to be a cohesive team. There will need to be sacrifice from both of us, and yet also time to learn and grow.
I promise to try and be a better posted about how we are learning and growing. Oh ya, and also on how the baby is doing. :)
