Last weekend was our third wedding anniversary! It is absolutely amazing how fast time really goes! It feels like just yesterday that I was getting ready with all my wonderful girlfriends, slipping into my wedding dress, and marrying my best friend. But really that was three years ago so I will just accept that.
Our actual anniversary fell on a Wednesday and with this whole being tired thing we didn't do a whole lot that day, but I had planned a fun day for us on Saturday! I of course didn't take a.single.picture but I will always remember the celebration, as this was our last anniversary just the two of us. We had a couple's massage and a wonderful dinner at a restaurant in the mountains.
Although we are always thankful for our spouses I feel like this year I have extra blessings to count. I am so proud of my hubby and the man he is, and I know he will be the best daddy ever! I am the luckiest to call him mine, and I am pumped to begin this new chapter of our lives.
Love you Mr.Mac <3

Cat's out of the bag!
Now that the cat is out of the bag my blog can directly reflect my thought process these days.....everything.baby.all.the.time. No joke...it took a couple of weeks for it to actually set in, and once that happened my brain turned to baby mush!
I have never been so obsessed with somebody in my whole life, well except for Justin Timberlake when I was 13...but that's totally different...after our 12 week ultrasound I have just been in awe of this whole miracle that is happening. The baby was flipping around in there and had it's arm waving around, it has a strong heartbeat, and everything is perfect. Sounds and sights to a mama-to-be that make me sleep a little better at night :)
So far I have not felt too "spooked"...I babysat from the time I was 12 until I was well into college. I know how to change a diaper, feed a baby, bathe a baby, ya know the normal things. I however have no idea how to raise a child. I asked a friend the other day and she said well really you just stare at it. I thought cool I can totally do that and not feel like a stalker at all. But the more I think about it the more I consider that God thinks we can raise a child, and raise it to be a follower, and a person who knows right from wrong, and how to give and be loved. He did pick me and Mr. Mac to be this little angels mommy and daddy. He knows we can do it. He believes in us. All of this is very reassuring, and I am so thankful that we are believers who have this to rely on. Because quite honestly I don't know how one can do it without HIS help.
Beyond thinking about all the deep stuff that we are about embark on, I find myself creepin on people's strollers, and diaper bags, and baby paraphernalia. I have a little baby bump, but really I just look like I ate 17 cheeseburgers for lunch, that being said I am sure these parents think I am going to steal their kiddos because I stare at them. Not awkward at all. Really I am just wondering what is the most beneficial things to have and what is a waste of money. And I wonder how my music choices will change? Or will they? I am not opposed to having a toddler walking around singing Pharrell and Robin Thicke Blurred Lines (or something similar). All Mr. Mac listens to is John Meyer and The Eagles, so I think we can rule him out of this concern ;)
These concerns/thought processes are only the tip of the ice burg...it took me entirely too long to write this post, and I am sure it reads as though a hyperactive child who just drank a Mountain Dew wrote it!
Happy Monday and have a great week!!!!

Say Whaaaaaaaatttttt???
I always get so mad at myself when I stop blogging for a while. It is never intentional but it always just happens....humph!
Not a whole lot was going on in the Mac family, ya know just working, hanging out with friends and family, that was until one fateful Friday night when everything changed....forrrrrreverrrrr :)
It was my father-in-laws birthday dinner and Mr. Mac had was coaching a soccer game. So I ran to Target to get a card and some wrapping paper for his present. My sister-in-law and I were planning on having a few adult beverages, and for some reason while roaming Target, I thought I better take a pregnancy test just to make sure. Yes Mr. Mac and I were trying, but I didn't think/feel/have any reason to think it would be positive.
So even though I am a grown married woman I always feel like a 16 year old buying a pregnancy test. Like let me hide this thing and avoid eye contact with the checker outer guy (yes it was a guy which makes it even worse) <------ again with the 16 year old thing.
Anywho I go home and it is 5 o'clock at night which according to all at home tests you have to pee on the stick first thing in the morning and yada yada. So there I am just waiting for the negative to come........................

It didn't come. Naturally I did what ever I just found out I am going to have a baby, woman does. I cried my eyes out...by myself. We have wanted this for so long and now it is here, and I have no idea what to do with myself. How am I going to tell Mr. Mac? I can't text him that is a horrible idea. How far along am I? Exactly how much have I been drinking in the last couple of weeks? Can I even eat the food at this dinner tonight? No wonder I have been extra crazy and emotional...I mean I had just cried my eyes out because my cell phone was broken, and there was no way I could live without my phone (perfectly normal here people).
Once I got it together I was able to wrap the present. I figured out I would be due around Christmas time, and thought I would wrap the test up in Christmas wrapping and give it to Mr. Mac after dinner. I forgot to take a picture of it because well I just found out I was pregnant and ain't nobody got time for pictures when you just found that out!
I get to my in-laws house and the second I told my sister I couldn't drink the cat was out of the bag to her. She figured it out right away. Perfect her and I had to keep this "secret" for the entire dinner. Cool as cucumbers we were! Maybe....kind of....probably not all but whatevs. She had to keep the secret for a couple more weeks ha!
When Mr. Mac and I got home he was utterly confused by the Christmas wrapping but once he opened it he was so excited and a little shocked. Our life was never going to be the same in a good way. We were and are just over the moon excited for Baby Mac.
I am back to blogging most of all for my memory because this whole pregnancy brain this is really real! Let me tell you! And since this is our first child everything will be documented for it's life, and I will just copy and paste for the second kiddo :)
