It's morning on a Saturday and I'm sitting at the kitchen table while everyone is asleep; toast with peanut butter and some OJ right beside me and I can't stop thinking wow...how did I get here? Not really here in this moment with my PB toast and OJ because well, that's my normal morning routine but...here....married for now exactly 6 months, living in San Antonio, in a completely different career that I stumbled upon but that I'm really good at, and now with a baby on the way in 5 or so months. We definitely move fast, swallowing change in every gulp, but at in this same moment, I couldn't imagine my life any different with all of it's hectic yet exciting change, filled with so much happiness, and excitement.
If you had told me last year around this time that I would be living in San Antonio, doing what I'm doing, and expecting a baby, I probably would have laughed and said, "Absolutely not." Things change though and our desires change with them....and I couldn't be happier that they do. For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a momma, probably before I decided that I wanted to get married (ever). I always knew that it was something I was meant to do at some point in my life and that it would be one of the most important things I'd ever do and one of the most fun, enjoyable, and rewarding things I'd experience. Once we were married, the desire became such a reality for us.
So here I am, anticipating what's next on our journey but I'm liking where it's heading and it's refreshing to know that life can change in such drastic ways but it can cause you to bend and be so open to all of the joy it can bring.
So yep...a baby. We kept it secret for a little while except to our family because it's virtually impossible to keep anything from them, even 1800 miles away. We decided to tell all of our friends and everyone we hadn't told a couple weeks ago because we really just couldn't keep it secret any longer and we are so unbelievably excited. Romeo is pretty excited, can't you tell?

Little Baby B or Peabody as we call it right now, is coming November 2014 and it's honestly one of the most overwhelmingly awesome things I've ever experienced (except for the constant nausea in the first few weeks). So here's to life's constant changing, exciting, and overwhelming rhythm. That's what makes it so worth it.
