Eight weeks to go!

Wow, I can't believe I'm at 32 weeks. It is going by quickly, although I'm getting impatient. I'm hoping the little guy decides to come a week early. :) I know, first children are often late, however, both my mom and sister were early with their firsts...

Walter took a "Boot Camp for New Dads" class this past Saturday and we had our Maternity Unit tour on Tuesday. It was so much fun and I think it's finally hitting Walter that the baby will be here before we know it. As women, we have months in which we watch our body changes, etc. and think about the baby, but I don't think it hits the men until later. :) We still don't have a name. The list is at 15 right now, so we really need to narrow things down. I picked out my top 5 and now I need to have Walter do the same and then we can compare lists. Obviously, with the last name Niesluchowski, we have to have a simple first name and one that won't be ridiculed or tough to spell.

I had my first baby shower on Sunday and it was wonderful. I am so blessed to have so many friends who love and care for me. My sister is amazing and she worked with a group of my friends to organize and run everything. I'm humbled that so many people came out -- it always blows me away to think that there are people out there who really care for me -- and everyone was SO generous.

Two weekends ago, Walter ran and finished the Chicago Marathon. I am so incredibly proud of him! He did a great job and trained for it in only 5 weeks! He's such a stud. ;) My cousin's wedding was in the afternoon and was so much fun. It was an incredibly busy weekend.

I have another ultrasound this coming Wednesday (to check the growth of the baby, etc.). I'm looking forward to seeing the little guy again. I wonder what the pictures will look like this time...Pray that everything looks good.

I'll try to post again soon. I haven't been doing a good job so far...

It's gone by fast for me too ... ha ha! I can't wait to hear the name you pick out! I love hearing all the little details of a birth and the pregnancy! It's so exciting!
Congrats to Walter on finishing the marathon! It's a huge accomplishment!
I saw the photos of your shower on Kara's facebook. You look STUNNING pregnant! So happy for you Dana. Keep me updated!!

We Have a Date!

The wedding date is set: Friday, March 2. I've already booked our church, our pastor, and the reception hall. Whew. I've been busy. Luckily, I already knew where I wanted the reception to be held and since I'm doing a Friday evening, it was easier to book the reception hall. My mom, Kara (my sister and matron-of-honor), and I are looking at dresses this Saturday. How fun! I already found one that I REALLY like online at David's Bridal. So, we are heading there first on Saturday. Jess bought me a wedding planning book -- wow! I had no idea that there were so many things to do! Plus, most people start almost a year in advance and I'm doing it in six months. Oh well. The work is well worth the short wait. So, how am I doing with posting so far? Look, Amanda, two blogs in one week! You must be proud of me. Still no pictures as Walter has been out of town and I don't have a camera. Hopefully, I will have some for you soon.

Lessons I've Learned in Marriage

Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary! I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband and God's faithfulness throughout our marriage. To find someone to love and loves you back is truly an amazing thing -- especially when he chooses to love you even at your worst. As in all marriages, there are highs and lows. I wouldn't change a single second of it for I have grown as a person and in my faith through our relationship. However, I wanted to share with you two lessons that I have learned in my marriage: 1. He shouldn't be my everything . Walter is my best friend, my confidant, and I love just being in the same room as him. It's romantic to say that "he's my everything" (which in many ways he is), however, I don't expect him to be my everything. It's an unfair pressure to put on him. My husband needs to be able to hang with his friends and talk with them without constantly worrying about me. And I need to have people that I...

Honestly...

I've been thinking a lot about honesty lately, specifically in relationships. For the most part, I consider myself an honest person. When I worked in retail, my customers appreciated that I would give them honest feedback and let them know if something worked for them, instead of just trying to make a sale. I joke around that if you give me a just a little alcohol, you will be sure to know my opinions about any and everything. ;) However, when it comes to people who are close to me, I have a harder time being honest. I can be honest when it doesn't matter -- even when it is with people I consider my friends. I think because there isn't as much at stake -- if they judge me, get mad, or walk away, it doesn't really matter. I know that I was honest and I can move on in my life.  However, with those closest to me, I'm careful to keep things close to me and compartmentalize instead to sharing how I honestly feel. There's way more at stake. Yes, I know that the people...
