May- Whoa..........................................

Baby Boy T-
There are certain things in life that are guarenteed to cause stress. We decided to see if we could fit all of them in a 31 day period. There will come a time in your life when you will get overwhelmed with all that is going on, and as a response I will refrence May 2010, I promise to provide you with the following reminders "You think that's bad, when I was 7 months pregnant with you.....................
- We signed a lease, broke a lease and signed a different lease in a matter of 3 days.
- We were homeless for 4 days.
- We moved all of our belongings into a storage locker with no real plan of where they would go next.
- I had a my wallet stolen at lunch.
- You and I took one last trip to St. Louis before your debut.
- Your Dad went through 5 rounds of interviews for a new job.
- Your awesome Dad got the new job!
- Dad quit his current job to jump on the new opportunity.
- The air conditioning went out on the first 85 degree day of summer.
- We had a great visit from Grandma Brink who helped us pull it all back together.
- We bought your crib and painted your first room.
- Aunt Jennifer came to visit and kept us giggling for a weekend.
- Our friends threw an amazing shower to help us to prepare for your arrival.
- We took classes to learn to care for you and felt both totally ready and completely underprepared.

All in all we rolled with the changes, tried to make the best of each day and came out in a better place than we started. We know that time will allow us to laugh at all we packed into May, but for now we are just trying to catch our breath. As we start June and your arrival creeps closer we are filled with excitement and anticipation!
