Back when I was pregnant with you...

If your mother is anything like my mother, she frequently refers to your (or your siblings') birth as a point of reference. When she is recalling a milestone, it goes like this: "Back when I was pregnant with you..." or "When you were just a baby..." or "Before we even had your sister..." or "Before you were born...". It's kind of crazy to me that the things that are happening in our lives right now we will eventually retell to our children using their births as our frame of references (picture those 2 kids sitting on the sofa on How I Met Your Mother).

We are about to go on our "babymoon" to the Bahamas (a free trip courtesy of Sandals because of a mistake back on our honeymoon). I can picture that in 10-20 years we will show our children pictures of us on this trip and while they're thinking "It's weird that our parents were ever young," we will be saying something like, "Back when we were pregnant with you..."

The other day someone was telling me about something that happened to them B.C. (aka "Before Children"). I know that the next 18+ years of our lives will be wonderful and happy, although different than the last 30. I feel like crying happy/sad tears like Rachel & Monica on Friends (when Rachel had to move out): It really is the end of an era!

In honor of B.C. days, here are some pictures of my parents before kids!
