Good morning, friends!!
It’s been a long, long time…but don’t think that doesn’t
mean you weren’t missed.
I’ve
missed you all and I’ve missed being a part of the blogging world.
Raviolis
& Waterworks has been a part of my daily routine for over a year, making it a
struggle to break from.
That
being said, I bet you’re all looking for some great excuse as to why my page
has been on a hiatus.
Don’t worry sunshines, I have a great excuse and big, big
news to share!!
As of today, I am 5
months pregnant with a baby girl.
Surprised? Not as much as I was when I first found out!
When I found out the big
news in August, Boyfriend and I were both shocked, petrified, and excited.
I’ll never
forget his face when he looked at me and said “I’m going to be a dad!”.
I’ll share the whole
story of the pregnancy test another time.
No,
we’re not married. No, we’re not even
engaged.
It’s been mentioned, but I’ve asked to take everything one
step at a time.
Yes,
we moved in together and worked out a family budget.
This has been the hardest experience of my life. Independent Jax has to share a closet?? Um…
No,
things aren’t perfect but we’re determined
and happy for an amazing future.
Believe in destiny?
Everything happens for a reason.
Now
that you guys have the basic gist of what’s been occupying my free time, I hope
you’ll all forgive me.
…and hopefully even welcome me back!!
I can’t promise regular
postings, but I promise to share much more often than every 5 months!
Congrats on the upcoming birth!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI was wondering when you were going to announce it. Now I can talk about it!!! And YAY for a baby GIRL! You didn't tell me you found out what you were having, you little sneak!
