Day One {Just the Two of Us}

We can make it if we try...and we did!  I won't lie...I was nervous/anxious/scared/excited along with several other emotions this morning!  I mean, hello...my mom was here with us for a whole week and even after she left I had Curt here.  So, after a slow and semi-fussy start (on both our parts), we pulled ourselves together and had a great afternoon!  Curt came home for lunch so I got cleaned up and gave myself a little pep talk.  We did a little laundry, read a little "What to Expect The First Year", put some dishes in the dishwasher, had a few naps and enjoyed a few bottles!  We also sat outside in the shade for a little while and enjoyed the breeze and gave Beau and Marley a little extra attention!  Then Aunt Holli came by after work and before we knew it, Daddy was home!!  So, day one was a success and we are now ready for day two!!

After Roper was born, I was having a (one of many so far) little reality check and breakdown session, my mother was reminded of a quote from Runaway Bride.  I know that movie is about a wedding and NOT a new baby, BUT...this quote could really be about any relationship rather it be a marriage or a new baby!   Since my mom has quoted this to me, I keep repeating it to myself over and over.

"Look, I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me."

We really did have a great 1st day...even if he will never ever remembers!
