OK, so two months married, and I guess I still like him.  Haha.  Since last post, our beautiful son James Oliver Drongesen was born.  He arrived July 12 after 19 hours in labor. He weighed in at 5lbs 15oz and was 20" long. 

I will say this, watching David as a father just makes me love him all that much more.  He tells me a least a dozen times a day how beautiful he thinks our child is. He plays with him and kisses him more than he kisses me now!

This is a short entry since we are still trying to get a routine going with the baby.  Hopefully I will find time to post the story of how we met as promised!

One Month In

I have been married to David for one month.  We argue a lil but honestly I think we are still in the so called "honeymoon" phase.  Which is a good thing considering with our son due to be born in one month, we didn't get to take a honeymoon. 
I had some very good advice given to me the day after our wedding.  "Only take advice from people who have something you want"  In other words, don't money or relationship advice (or any other kind) from someone who has money or love troubles.  I will always listen to my grandmother.  She has always had the right thing to say even if its not what I want to hear.  But I have noticed which of my friends I should go to with my troubles. 
Now some people ask if we got married just because of the baby.  No sir!  We were planning a "real" wedding when I found out I was pregnant back in November of 2011.  So we decided preparing for the baby was a better way to spend money.  This was NOT the original plan.  David wanted to finish school and get a better job so that I could be a stay at home mom.  Instead, I will have to return to work since I have the health insurance for our family.  There are going to be some challenges ahead but I know everything will work out as it should.
