Sorry, as I was writing this, there are some TRIGGS...

DH and I knew each other for about a year before we started dating. Then, we only really 'dated' for a few months before he proposed. We were married a year later, so we knew it each other for 2 years before we married. We were best of friends when we got married. We had both been previously married, so we both know that being friends first has really made us stronger.

We met at work, he was my supervisor (ooooh!!). We worked at police/fire/ems dispatchers. We have been in crazy stressfull situations, we have been on the radio and heard our friend get shot, we have been on the phone and heard someone getting the life beat out of them, and DH was on the phone with a mom who found her baby unresponsive in her crib. So, honestly, everyday life really doesn't stress us out. I saw, and he still does, the worst times in people's life almost everyday. When you deal with those times in people's life, some people learn to be thankful for everyday. It may not be perfect, but we all still have each other.

I guess our biggest change was that life was not about us anymore, everything was about Dane and his needs. We couldn't just sleep in on Saturday, do the chores whenever we felt like it, go out to eat whenever, decide one weekend we were going up to the mountains, etc. It was now about our little man. It was a big adjustment, going from doing whatever we wanted to now getting up every few hours to change, feed, burp and put Dane back to bed. Before, if I had to pee, I would just go to the bathroom. Now, I was at home alone at night, holding my screaming baby because he had colic, and I had to pee. In the beginning I had a hard time putting him down, even to just pee. I mean, my baby is upset, I have to hold him! DH thought I was a loon. Most of the time he would just shake his head at me. I knew I was a loon, but I didn't know what else to do.

I think for us, we were, and still are, best of friends. And, we know that if we want to keep our family together, we have to have the strongest bond. You know that best friend you have, you will do anything for each other, no questions asked and you never expect anything in return. That is DH and I. We both know that life around us happens, we will get stressed out, we do bicker, we do drive each other crazy sometimes, but at the end of the day, it's all about our little family. And, we would both go to the end of the world for the rest of our days, for our little family.View Thread
