Who Will She Look Like?

I can't help but think about who will Roslyn Kate look like. Will she have Andrew's nose? Will she have my big cheeks? What color hair will she have? Curly or straight? I know we will find out soon enough, but boy is it hard to wait! I love thinking about my little baby girl. Andrew is even more impatient than I am. He wants her NOW. lol I had to explain to him last night that if she were to come now, she might not survive. So then Andrew asks me when she would be able to survive.... my response: MARCH 20TH! lol her due date! I'm not expecting her any sooner :) I want her to take all the time she needs to be the healthiest baby ever. Andrew wants that too... he just can't wait to hold her! I can't either. It's going to be such an amazing experience. Having my own child. A little person who is part of me and part of my best friend. Maybe she'll have her daddy's sharp jawline. I bet she'll have dimples... cause both Andrew and I have them. I love my little peanut so much already. She is going to be such a joy to me and Andrew. I have a feeling she'll be a daddy's girl. Andrew is going to be such an awesome daddy. I am looking forward to what the future holds, and I can't wait to continue on this crazy adventure called life.

Love of a Mother

A beating heart inside of me
Not my own
I feel her kicking softly
Not yet grown
Imagine myself in another
Place in time
Where I have no brother
Or no dime
If I were there in that place
Would I? Could I?
Destroy her tiny face
It seems so distant
But happens every instant
The love for my daughter
Becomes so strong
Taking her to a slaughter
Is too wrong
Pray for those who want an abortion
That the mother will rise within
God will be her portion
He forgives all sin
Let the love of a mother fill their hearts
And let all women care
For the baby when the heartbeat starts
And to await the little one’s stare

WHA???

oh my freakin gosh... i'm going to be a MOMMY!!!!!!!! still hasn't sunk in yet....

a little test of your love

imagine that you are fighting with this person. you are on two total opposite sides. a huge disagreement. you may raise your voices. you may be crying. you are experiecing the following emotions: anger, hurt, confusion, ect...

the test:

in the midst of the fight, would you be able to tell them, "I love you."

would you be able to drop it, compromise, or give in... because you love that person?

True love is not a feeling. In the midst of a fight, love is still there. Because you CHOOSE to love that person.

Planning our 1st Wedding Anniversary :)

Andrew and I have gone through SO MANY different ideas as to what we can do and where we can go for our first wedding anniversary! It's such an exciting thing to celebrate. We both want to have a good time and also be able to relax. Obviously we can't do anything or go anywhere cause we're not millionaires! AND it'll just be for a long weekend. Our anniversary falls on a Sunday this year. So we're just going to take off work Friday and Monday. First we talked about going to Washington DC but then decided we would need at least a whole week to see everything we'd want to see there. Then we thought another cruise would be amazing (we went on a cuise for our honeymoon). Even though it includes everything in the price it was still a little too expensive for us right now. Then we though Disney World!! Andrew's never been; it would be so much fun! .... that would cost just as much as a cruise if not more. but then we found it. totally sold. North Georgia Mountains. Not TOOOOOO far of a drive. Beautiful. Relaxing. Adventure(whitewater rafting on the Ocoee River). A nice little cabin. Now that sounds like a pretty rad anniversary. It's somewhere we haven't been before. Something we've never done. perfect. I love andrew douglas apple with all my heart. I am so happy i made the decision to love and cherish him for the rest of my life! two more months... and it'll be one of many many years to come!
