Today is Marshall and mine's 3rd wedding anniversary. It's amazing what has happened in 3 years. Not at all what we imagined, I know. I think it's probably safe to say that in only 3 years Marshall and I have been through "the worst" in a marriage. First there was Marshall's endocarditis which left him in the hospital for 5 days not knowing if he would have to have open heart surgery. Then there was our first miscarriage which ended in a D&C, which Marshall was out of town for so my Mom and my friend Tina accompanied me there for it. And of course, the worst of all - last March when we lost our son Nolan and had what was the absolute worst 48 hours of our lives. But, now we are pregnant again and hopeful that the 3rd time will be the charm. We still don't know what we are having yet, but so far the baby is healthy and the pregnancy is progressing as expected so that is really all we can hope for at this point. Here's hoping that the next 3 years are "the best" as I'm sure the birth of our first healthy baby can only be called one of the best years of our lives.
Unfortunately, our 3rd wedding anniversary wasn't spent together, but I will be home this weekend for a long weekend so we will celebrate then. Marshall requested I send him a picture of my baby bump to show Mike at work, so I did a little self portrait and sent him a quick sneak peak of the baby bump. I'm 13 1/2 weeks now. Hopefully, at our next ultrasound we will find out whether it is a boy or girl!
