Yay we finally got to annouce the sex of our baby!! We had such an amazing and fun weekend with all of our family and friends. Its exciting for our families to get together and know each other a little more. Jamie was completely freaking out which was funny, my dad kept looking at me as if I was an alien, and everyone was so happy and supportive when we cut the cake. Actually, when the grandparents cut the cake!! It was such a blessing to be able to join together with family and friends to celebrate this little precious baby boy. So, we can officially call the baby HIM and HE, not IT anymore! Other than that everything has been going well. I have been feeling great, thank God. I went to my second mentoring moms bible study tonight and I am really happy that I got plugged into something with other moms who can giive me guidance. School has been picking up and each week it gets busier and busier. Taylor has been doing well with taking 18 hours and might even get a part time job, just to get some good experience and extra cash. We are still so grateful for our parents support right now. We are also debating whether to get another dog. I still miss kobi everyday and think about him everyday but it has gotten easier. I just dont want to take on too much we cant handle. But we are thinking about it.
Landon James is about a pound now and growing and moving more each day. It is so cool to feel him more and more. I love it. I cant belive I am already going to be 5 months!! I still feel like I have so much to do before he gets here. We need to register for the showers, take our birthing classes, register at the hospital, and most importantly, get his room ready!! I want to paint and get his furniture and make it really really cute looking! After this weekend I will have a few weekends to really start planning things so that will be good. This week is just crazy... I have a test and a research paper due and then PWs all weekend! But next week wont be as hectic thank goodness... I need a week or two or three off!
Most importantly, other than Landon being so amazing right now, is that Taylor and I have been so extremely happy. We never thought that things would turn out this way but it has been better than either of us could have imagined. I feel a distinct love for him, not only as the father of my child but as the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I never thought that I would say that about him but he has really been the best thing that could have happened in my life right now. Its one of those things that no one really understands but us. And I am ok with that. I dont want to try to convince people that this is real and that I am the most happy I have ever been and that this situation is turning out perfectly, because people would think its fake. All we can do is live our lives and love each other deeper and deeper each day. I am so thankful and blessed to have the life I do. I really feel like God has blessed me so much, and I really dont know what I did to deserve this. It might not look ideal to the average person, but for me its the best thing that could have ever happened in my life. And I dont have to sit here and try to make myself happy or convince myself that this is the right thing to do because I know it is right. When you know, you just know. I always thought that that was the biggest bunch of bull but its so true! Sorry if that makes people cringe... it used to make me cringe but I just cant help but smile and be happy. And for once in my life, I dont have to fake my happiness or put on a happy face to make others think I am ok.... It is genuine happiness and an overwhelming joy that fills my heart. I couldnt be more blessed!
Thanks to everyone who reads along with this and for Taylors family and friends as well as my own. We know that this has been a crazy ride but we appreciate the prayers and blessings yall have bestowed upon us and the faith yall have in us. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing support system and the best friends a couple could ask for!!
Love,
Alyssa, Taylor and Landon
