In the past several weeks Hubs and I have been realizing our days of being a young couple are numbered. Sure we've known it for the last several months, but there is something about a house littered with baby supplies and a due date that is weeks (not months) away that makes it REALLY sink in.
We've been spending a lot of time just the two of us over the last several weeks and it has been awesome. We've made sure to do a few things that will be tricky once we have the boys with us and we've just been trying our best to really enjoy these days.
Over the weekend we celebrated our 6th anniversary. On Saturday night we grilled and sat on the deck until 10:30 just talking about everything that is about to happen. We talked about what scares us, what excites us and everything in between. I think the biggest thing we realized is, as excited as we are for the boys to be here in our arms, we aren't fully ready to give up the happy that we've finally found. We spent SO LONG trying to get pregnant- so long being disappointed- so long being sad and depressed that now that we've finally found our joy it is really hard to be ready for the next step. Don't get me wrong, there is going to be plenty of joy and happiness in the next chapter of our life, but the last nine months have been amazing. Life seemed so easy, so happy. We both just want a little longer to soak it in.
So, for the next 16 days we live as intentionally as possible. We soak in each day as if it is the last day of our 'couple-hood' and prepare for what will surely be one of the most memorable and happiest days of our life!

Oh I couldn't disagree more. I'm SO READY to have this baby! Screw our freedom, screw it just being the two of us, just give us the damn baby already =) The first pregnancy piled on top of this pregnancy though has made for a full year of pregnancy for me though, so maybe you're right, 9 months isn't long enough but a year sure is ;-)
So true! It's funny how we spend so much time and energy trying to get pregnant and then when we do we wish we had just a little more time for "just us" as a couple. NOT that we aren't thankful and excited to move on to the next phase of life with baby(-ies)! Hope you enjoy the last days as a couple before you welcome A and H!!
Happy Anniversary! Enjoy your last days alone with your main squeeze!
Wow, what a mixed bag!! I can understand what you're saying, not having been there yet, I get it though. IF is such a roller coaster, and then you get this incredible gift (or two)...and life changes BIG time. I'm excited for you two and can't wait to "meet" the babes! I've popped into your blog periodically, I've been a bad blogger...but you look like you're doing amazing!
Thank you for your support :)
I still have 14 (roughly) weeks until our babes are here and I'm already thinking of things for my husband and I to do together before they're here.
What you're feeling is normal <3
