I'm an aunt!

Yesterday my sister in law had a baby boy at 12:28 pm weighing 8 pounds even, measuring 19 inches. She named him Jeremy James. I'm excited to go meet him tomorrow! Its been a long time since I've seen or held a newborn. It seems like we'll be waiting forever before holding our own again. We're going to see them in the hospital since the little one was breech and therefore requiring a c-section. In other exciting news I'm pretty sure that I felt our only little monster wiggling around in there today. Atticus came up to me this morning lifted up his shirt and told me "Mom there is a baby in my belly." LOL He is too stinking cute. Dave was home from work yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It's been nice having him home, and I love watching the boys play together.

Our Song

There are a couple of reasons why this blog is named "Our Song." One its meant to be about our journey; not just as a couple but as a family. Secondly it is currently one of my favorite songs by The Spill Canvas. Here are the lyrics:

"Our Song"

Be kind when you rewind the story of the two of us
Sometimes you wish it was a little more mysterious
When you look at me with your cinematic eyes
I wanna play the part but I forget the lines

I do it all the time
I never get it right

One day when you replay the slideshow we know
Pictures won't show villains and heroes
It's just me keeping time with you
Butter knife dull but it still cuts through

We never were
We'll never be

Strangers kissing in the pouring rain
Chasing after your leaving train
But we know that's not how our song goes
Oh
You're a waitress in a cocktail bar
And I'll save you cause I'm a big rock star
But we know that's not how our song goes
It goes like this

You didn't like my friends and your mom didn't trust me
I thought I was slick but my moves were rusty
Bought you a 12 pack promised you sushi
Sorry if I wasn't straight out of a movie

We never were
We'll never be

Strangers kissing in the pouring rain
Chasing after your leaving train
But we know that's not how our song goes
Oh
You're a waitress in a cocktail bar
And I'll save you cause I'm a big rock star
But we know that's not how our song goes
It

Be kind when you rewind the story of the two of us
Sometimes you wish it was a little more mysterious
When you look at me with your cinematic eyes
I wanna play the part but I'm messing up the lines

We never were
We'll never be

Strangers kissing in the pouring rain
Chasing after your leaving train
But we know that's not how our song goes
Oh
You're a waitress in a cocktail bar
And I'll save you cause I'm a big rock star
But we know that's not how our song goes
It goes like this
It goes like this

We are as of this moment in time a happily unmarried couple with an almost 2 1/2 year old and another bundle of joy expected in November. We are a young family and I am currently a stay at home mom as well as an online college student. I wanted a way to have some me time and when I was younger I loved to write. I still do write sometimes when I get really worked up or upset about something, I call it having a heart dump, where everything inside just spills out onto paper. No spell checking or grammar correction just pure raw emotion. It's unlikely that I'll make it here every day or that the posts will be very long but I'd like to make an entry a few times a week. Today I'm going to close with something Atticus said to me because it was sweet and its one of those moments that I'd like to remember. Atticus walked up to me and told me "I think you're cute, I love you." Kids say the darnedest things.
