Dear Baby,
I know our life will change dramatically when you get here, but there are so many changes that have happened because you are coming. For example, we went from eating out 3-4 times a week to 2 times a month. That is a pretty huge change for DINKS like us.
While part of me wishes that conceiving you hadn't been so hard, I am so glad we had 2, well almost 5, years of being a childless couple. It took two years of experimenting with how best to cook dinner to realize that what works for us is strategically alternating cook nights. It took two years of trial and error to work out a budget and we're still refining what we do. Those are really simple things that we might have to revisit once you get here, but at least we've gone through the headache of discarding options that don't work.
The irony is that we're not really saving that much money by eating in but mostly because our food budget has had to accommodate more fruits and veggies which is a very good thing. Plus spending time in the kitchen is a nice way to unwind from work together.
I got to hear you again today at the doctor. Your heartbeat was so loud that I think it startled you awake because you began to furiously kick as soon as those whoosh-whoosh sounds appeared. It is pretty funny that you frightened yourself.
As always,
Love,
Mama
