Happy First Anniversary to Us!!!

Can you believe it's already been one full year? I can't. Where does time go? On the one hand it feels very much as it should be and somehow like it's been longer. On another hand, we still look at each each and declare, "wow, We're Married!" on an almost daily basis. We were just discussing in the kitchen the other day as to whether or not we expect this will continue on for years and years. We somewhat expect that baby may change that.

And then there is the baby! We don't waste time, as you may have noticed. Married for one year, and pregnant for half of it. This may seem a bit quick to most minds (and I would and have said the same of others), but we've been talking about it for a couple of years. Two years ago in late summer he told me in two years we could have one. So, in my mind, that actually puts us pretty much on schedule. Coincidentally, this baby is due just five days past the second anniversary of losing the first one. I imagine that time will be sad (and I will cry because the hormones command it) and also wonderful simultaneously. [livejournal.com profile] squidgyfishlove has always assured me that our little butterfly would come back. Ok, now I am crying.

I don't want to ramble through this post the way I usually do so I'll do my best to make this succinct.

I will not say that this first year has been perfect. It has, as we were told to expect, been hard. But it's also been very good in many ways. I think our communication, though a constant work in progress, is much improved. We've recognized the need and value of being a team. We even made a stupid hand-shake thing and goofy "Go Team Terhune" thing (which none of you will ever see). [livejournal.com profile] squidgyfishlove has said this week that he expects the second year will be harder. I'm sure it will bring a bouncy baby bundle full of new challenges and wonders. I'm really looking forward to it.

Other than that, we're watching each other change. I've been told, as of yesterday, that I look older. I'm having fun poking at the almost 31 year old, married, father to be's newly acquired sympathy weight and he's worried about losing his hair. All the sudden it's easier to picture us much further along in life and I'm really trying to take as many mental snapshots of us now as possible. Of course, I'm always happy to take pictures with something more tangible as well... and I hope to have them for a long, long time.


Other than that, thank you again to the people who have been around to support us and be our friends. Thank you again to [livejournal.com profile] andyravensable and [livejournal.com profile] poggs for making the journey to be with us last summer. We miss you all the time. And thank you to those who are and will be putting up with us (and especially me) as we deal with, to the best of our abilities, finishing a hormone loaded pregnancy and becoming parents. Of course you must come and see the cutest little baby ever (yes, I'm that confident) when it's born.

Thank you.

And now... some pictures. :) These may include such lj types as: [livejournal.com profile] andyravensable, [livejournal.com profile] poggs, [livejournal.com profile] kevbonium, [livejournal.com profile] squidgyfishlove and [livejournal.com profile] ebonyraine, [livejournal.com profile] to_rei_shi, [livejournal.com profile] screepy, [livejournal.com profile] kt_bob, [livejournal.com profile] rjp, [livejournal.com profile] kiernyn_keroac, and a whole lot of other non lj types. Happy Scouting.





That's a lot of pictures... but be rest assured... there a lot more than that. :)

It was a lot of fun, despite some of the stress on my end. But oh well... I'm happy remembering the fun!

I'm glad we'll get to get at the ocean together soon (even though I still don't know how I'm going to afford this!).

Congratulations! (Again, 'cause I think I jumped the gun earlier this month). Can't wait to meet the mini-Terhune, will be nice for Maya to have a buddy =) Babies, like marriage, take work but, like marriage, are so totally worth it. It will amaze you again and again how much love one little person can inspire. Love you guys. *HUGS*

slightly off subject, but i have amazed myself again...

I just hope to Betsy my kid is as pleasant as yours is! ;)

It was nice to see you guys earlier! We'll have to see you again soon. Did I hear a rumour about a birthday party for Miss Papaya?

And now that we know Stephen and Abner like the same beer, we can get them liquored up and laugh at them. :)

Sorry! *many hugs*

Oh, no! I wasn't telling you off, just idly wondering. Anyway, those colour ones are a fantastic memory of last year.

A somewhat belated congratulations as I've been absent from computer realm for 10 days or so. Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful images. You all look so happy and the beach pictures are especially evocative. Also the little hand on the scan pics is very cute - is that a wave?!

Best Wishes for your future. :)

Thank you! A somewhat belated thank you (as I'm crap and just haven't replied).

Also the little hand on the scan pics is very cute - is that a wave?!

I think it was- and that's what we're going with! I'm sure the new born sized pudgy little fingers will be vrr vrr coot as well. :)
