Eric and Lisa

Today is the 2nd day of April -- the month in which our child will be born! That's an odd concept to grasp at the moment. It's hard to truly comprehend how different our lives will be in just a couple weeks....or maybe even a couple days! Who knows? According to a doctor's checkup on Thursday, things are well on their way to "progressing" for the Little Guy's arrival. He's making his move!

Because of this, Eric and I are savoring every moment we have together. It's not that we're not excited about becoming parents -- we really, really are -- but we're starting to realize that our time together will be very different soon, and that we really do like how things are right now, just the two of us. I think that's a good thing. When the baby comes, we'll be fully dedicated to him, but we'll still need each other, and it's nice to know that we at least have a fairly good foundation of closeness on which to stand so that we hopefully won't completely abandon our marriage relationship for that of our parental relationship with our child. Maybe we'll miss the times of quiet and flexibility that we have right now. But then again, maybe we won't. Maybe they'll still be there, just in different forms and opportunities. That's my hope, and that's what we're committing ourselves to -- to maintaining our relationship together in the midst of our new family relationships. It's going to be an interesting experience, and I'm looking forward to it.
