Enjoying it

In spite of all the gripes outlined in my last post (what a downer!), I’ve been trying my best to stick to my 2010 sorta-resolution and remember to “enjoy it.”  Yes, there is stress a-plenty, and The Accountant is working lots of crazy hours, but the fact that wonderful things are happening in our life remains.

 

Last Saturday we carved out some time for ourselves to smell the roses.  We had our home inspection in the morning, and left the rest of the day open to spend as we wished.  The inspection went very well, and it was fun to get to spend two hours in the house and really look closely at everything.  From the inspection, we went to Target to pick up some essentials and build our baby registry.  While there, we did a little shopping for The Baby.  We of course have the The Baby Box with some odds and ends for our boy, but with the end of the second trimester approaching, it’s no longer too early to buy him the things he’s going to need.  There happened to be a bunch of adorable clothes on clearance, so we walked away with quite the haul.  Here’s some of the cuteness:

It may seem silly, but it felt like a milestone.  We went shopping for clothes for our son.  For the first time.  The Baby Box is now getting pretty full, and soon The Baby will not only have some things in a box, but a room of his own, and a dresser filled with his clothes.

 

We closed out our day with a dinner date in the city, at one of our favorite restaurants, something we haven’t had time to do in a while.  We had delicious food, I drank two mocktails, and I ate like a pregnant woman (a three-course meal seems like just enough!).  We took our time and enjoyed each other’s company, knowing that our days of three-course dinner dates in the city are numbered!  It was a really wonderful day.

 

So while I may feel like we are speeding through the air at a frantic pace lately - I am determined not to forget to take in the view.
