Welcome to my first official blog post. I've been interested in starting a blog for a while now. Thanks to the many social networks available, I've found myself following a few blogs, and thought to myself, I love to talk about myself and what's going on in my life, so why not start my own..so here it is. With the name being 'And Baby Makes 3' you could have guessed it's going to focus primarily on my family and what's going on in our lives, but I'm sure I'll throw in a few odds and ends here and there.
Let me get you up to date with my life as of now. I got married in March 2010 to my long-time love, David and we found out we were expecting just shortly before. While this wasn't how we planned to get married, we decided that a quick ceremony would be the best thing for us at the time, and we promised each other a real ceremony and reception would be in the works for the following year. Something we've both learned since having baby is--you can't always plan your life out like you could pre-baby! We purchased a condo in Waterloo in March and baby Syrie came in September on 9/16/10. She is the love of our lives, and the biggest, most important thing to happen to us, to date.
Syrie was welcomed home by our first child, our cat, Hermes. He didn't care too much about her, but I think he's starting to warm up to the idea of sharing his space with someone who quickly grew to his size, and more. For any of you pet lovers, gone parents out there, you know how hard it is to go from giving your un-divided attention to your pet, to barely getting to see the little guy when you come home for work. I know he notices a difference and we do our best to give him treats, toys and love, but it's really hard to give the same attention post baby! We love you Hermes!
We recently booked our trip to Jamaica to renew our vows on 09/10/11!! That's right, we're getting the wedding (sort of) we dreamed of. September 2011 will be a busy month with the first weekend being a holiday, the second weekend we'll be in Jamaica, the third weekend is Syrie's 1st birthday and the last weekend my aunt gets married. A short two weeks later we will have a reception for the wedding we never had. I've gotten some grief over having a reception in October, people saying things like 'it doesn't make much sense considering you weren't married then or around then', and what I say to them is- the original plan was to have a destination wedding in September, come back, and have a reception, but we didn't get to do it the way we planned, so we're making up for it. I keep telling myself if they have such a problem with it, they don't need to come:) Hopefully for the most part things work out as well as planned. So far everything else in our lives has. Sometimes it seems a little too good to be true. Sort of like I'm waiting for it all to come crashing down. Let's hope that's just my pessimism coming through.
