sometimes I want to stab him with my fork

I'm not sure what I would do without Mr Smith. My life would be 10xs more exhausting for one thing. Not only do I count on him to do my math in his head, but he's my Mr Fix It - even when there is nothing he can fix. Him being there for me mentally, spiritually, physically or all three you name it - is a HUGE blessing in my life. Sometimes it might make Mr Smith feel like he is suffocating . . . I'd like to think I could still be slash am independent, but let's just say I really like depending on Mr Smith to pull me back into reality and help me fix whatever situation comes up. Even if I don't need his help, I still want him to know about it. I guess that's one reason why people get married. It's nice having a committed go-to person. I got a really handy one.

But sometimes I want to stab him with a fork.

Because although I want him there for support, let's just say his words are not always supportive. Or his ways are not always my ways. So we banter about who is being more foolish. And "welcome to marriage" except for those mind boggling children that say how they never heard their parents argue. I mean what? How is that possible? Do we define arguing differently? I mean I don't go slamming doors, but the tone of voice fluctuates . . .

Any way *insert argument over how we should have taken pictures about the house defects or why it takes you forever to come eat dinner when I say it's done*

Sometimes we both get bossy. stubborn. close-minded. But at the end of the day, I care about his opinion, his happiness and his love and I would do whatever it took to work it all out. But I ain't no "yes sir" kind of wife.

Now let's kiss and make up.

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates. I'm okay with not needing a changing table. It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too. Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . . Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes. And even a mobile. Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi, We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We Remember... All the Time We... Spent Together

My 1-1 days are shortly coming to an end with my oldest who decided to have more time with me and her youngest sibling this past year & I'll forever be grateful for that. I'm never ready for them to grow up and give most their time & attention to everyone else. Again, we are excited for another phase & this time she gets to be the big kid coming back with more rest & confidence to wrap up her middle school years going part-time for 8th grade. Will busy work burn out still be a concern? Will "learning" in a noisy & crude environment still be a concern? Will losing more of her childhood still be a concern? Yes, yes and yes. However, she knows how to choose good friends, she knows how to work hard, and she knows she enjoys structure & peer competition coming from outside the home. I don't know if she'll push herself to participate more in sports, or find new opportunities elsewhere, but that's the blessings of this life - there are al...
