A thought

Tonight, Ben and I were in the living room in our usual spots. He's in the recliner, and I'm curled up in a blanket on the couch. We were watching TV with a quiet house behind us. I looked at him and said, "We don't have many nights like this left." Just the two of us, watching TV, doing what we want. He raised his eyebrows and sighed. Fivc and a half months!

Yeah! It sure does change things... No more of getting to watch your shows on TV when you want too... no more just getting to lay there and do nothing... BUT it is all TOTALLY worth it! I wouldn't trade anything in the world for Miley and I know you guys will feel the same when that little baby comes! BUT do enjoy these quiet days-- it is a good time to really bond with each other and do things as just the two of you. I remember when Taylor and I went out to eat just the two of us right before Miley was born... the last time we didn't have to bring a baby with or worry about getting a babysitter...

Just so you know......it could be almost 30 years before it's like this again. Steve & I have been empty nesters for 5 night, it's very quiet at our house. Not bad, just different. We're just slowly getting to know each other again, with just louder voices. Mom
