I find that it's not as important as where you are currently and how far you have come from it. I'm glad you two found your way back together and are dog-parents and future-human-parents, too. You're right about the dog preparing you somewhat; my animals have more than I realized until recently.<br /><br />In pregnancy there will be bad days and good days (where your hubby's 'wife is back') so take delight in the good days like you did on your date. Those are the times you'll only remember when you're so big you can't believe it's almost over.HiLLjOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18339271743324886097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-89830409587495199392013-04-15T00:57:36.047-07:002013-04-15T00:57:36.047-07:00It's so sweet to read your story, you guys rea...It's so sweet to read your story, you guys really have a long story. <br />I am sure you will figure it out along the way and be great parents. If you are conscious about each other, you will find the time to be together, just the two of you, you will find a way to go on dates, weekends even holiday together. Baby will survive and you will be an example of love. <br />Relationships change, and as long as you keep an eye on each other, communicate... even when it gets hard and you're a crying mess, just keep talking to each other. Or let each other know what you need. But I am sure I am saying things that you know. <br />You'll make it.

I know what you mean about bringing a baby into a relationship where it's just been the two of you for so long. I think about the same thing with my husband and I. Definitely important to keep that bond going!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-22690976651985602052013-04-14T10:43:07.055-07:002013-04-14T10:43:07.055-07:00I have been having many of those same fears.

He has been a saint, though, and never complains. We have also been talking about how to keep "us" important even after the babies are here. I am sure there will be some bumps in the road, but it sounds like you have a great relationship and will be able to handle any of it.JenShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056681492831041470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-13586901643092495802013-04-14T08:57:16.273-07:002013-04-14T08:57:16.273-07:00Aw...

We were really good friends (but nothing more) right up until 28, when we finally hooked up and then got engaged. After trying so very hard to get preggo, it's weird how you suddenly stop and panic a bit about how a baby will affect your relationship... like, it's probably something you should've thought of earlier. But I think it's also something you just have to deal with as it happens, and you guys seem strong enough to make it work.

I'm sure its impossible to avoid some of those moments/days/weeks of disconnect and tensions, but I think you're right. It's about recognizing and attending to it. I'll try to remember that in the moment.JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493032821722724778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-33960815263459719302013-04-13T23:54:19.574-07:002013-04-13T23:54:19.574-07:00Thanks...I realized after I wrote this post that i...Thanks...I realized after I wrote this post that it was pretty sappy and cheesy, but oh well, it's how I was feeling at the time :)JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493032821722724778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-27545130759808850112013-04-13T19:17:28.122-07:002013-04-13T19:17:28.122-07:00With two months of "expertise", I would ...With two months of "expertise", I would say the keys are communication, awareness, and forgiveness. Max and I have definitely had spans of time since Brambo came along where we simply aren't clicking. We misinterpret, overreact, and are just not tuned in with the other's reality. With me still on maternity leave and him working, our days look incredibly different. If one of us can recognize and catch it early, we are able to take a break and sit down and just connect again. If we don't catch it early, it's an ugly few days full of resentment. <br /><br />The fact that you are thinking about this now bodes well. Just keep talking about it.
