Hawkins Update - He's been stretching and growing like he should be for the past few weeks! He did eventually catch up to my ribs at week 36, but for the most part cooperates in keeping his kicks down low. We have his room all ready, though he most likely won't be using it for a few months. Here's a video link . Titus and I are both excited to welcome him to our house and I'm excited to be given such a big role as mommy! I most often remind him that both mommy and daddy love him already! The Lord has truly blessed us! Hawkins' head is down low and I'm already 1 cm dilated at the 38 week mark...so just a matter of waiting.
Titus Update - There's a fair amount of change in his current workplace. They're changing to Ruby on Rails, and Titus is tackling that straight on as is typical within his career. This new language will be beneficial for him having another one to tack onto his belt. Also, he got offered another raise...which coincides with baby boy's birth month - which we know is all the Lord's goodness to us! :-D
Lani Update - I'm ready to try my hand and dependence on God's grace in spending my days raising Hawkins. I'm blessed that Titus has a well paying job that allows for me to have this luxury! I know there are mommies out there who would love to spend time raising their babies. There are still odds and ends to take care of, but for the most part...and through lots of Craigslist'ing and shower gifts...we have the basics he'll need. It's the parenting and actual taking care of baby while figuring out his needs/wants at the given time that will be tricky to decode.
Titus & Lani Update - We just made 4 years of being together as man and wife! We celebrated by going to Bonefish Grill and exchanged presents throughout the day. While our marriage hasn't been perfect, I'm so glad that I can be in one with my partner and provider as Titus. He is actively seeking ways to see that I'm happy and content. I hope that as the years go on...we'd stay fixed on a path that keeps us close to one another by being close to the Lord. I hope to be a good and kind wife that respects and loves him as her best friend deserves!
