So recently Kyle and I had gotten the chance to do some "Baby Practicing".
My brother and Sister-in-law were gracious enough to let us babysit their youngest son (who we nicknamed Mr. Magoo) for a whole week. He is 7 months and the most smiley happy boy I have ever met.
We had such a blast with him and had only one day of frusturating times. Oh the reason we nicknamed him Mr. Magoo is because he is such a carefree child. It didnt matter to him where we took him or who else he was with, he had a blast the entire time. And we did so many things that I know I will love the beginning new born stage but I will also be waiting for my little one to grow and I will enjoy them watching and learning new things just as I enjoyed my nephew watch and learn new things in the week that we had him.
We took him to the beach for an afternoon, and to the splash park, we also took him to the parade and spent an afternoon/early evening celebrating Kyles birthday with family and friends. He was such a blast to take care of and I can only hope that my child will be as easy as he was.

A New Life Begins
Life has takin a whole new turn for me and Kyle. We recently found out that we are going to be parents :) I am currently 6 weeks along (according to the doctors calculations). I found out on Monday July 5th, at work. I decided to just take a pee test and find out. It was positive and my mind instantly started thinking of everything that would need to be done, telling parents and family, buying cribs and strollers, and figuring out costs of everything that comes with a baby.
Kyle was completely taking by surprise when I called him at work to tell him. He practically hung up the phone on me because he was in such shock. But after having time to digest the news he said he was very happy and glad the he was going to be a daddy. We are both very excited
Then another surprise came flying my way when on Sunday July 11 Kyle gave me this beautiful rock of a ring. We were celebrating our 2nd year anniversary at the Country Charm Resort when Kyle took out his guitar and sang me a beautiful song (True Companions by Mark Cohn). After his song he told me how much he longed to be a wonderful husband and father to me and our baby, then asked me to marry him. I practically jumped on top of him with kisses and of course I said yes. I should mention that Kyle had this proposal planned out before we even found out that we were having a baby. It has definately been a very exciting couple of weeks.
So we told our family on Monday July 12. There were some super excited responses and some very upset responses. But I have decided that this is our life, and even though we do appreciate other peoples opinions and advice we will be making the decisions for our life on our own.

Update
So kyle and I have been talking for quite a while about living together. At first we were not ready and needed to save up some money. But I've been wanting to move out for a long time, so a couple days ago Kyle finally said he was ready to move out. We started looking online right away. First we found a house that we called, but was completely disappointed when we found out it was only an upstairs suite (it said it was the whole house). Then we found another upstairs and downstairs suite (both was available) we went to look and it looked great. It was an open concept and only $625/month. We got the papers and were gonna hand them in until Kyle said he wants to keep looking. So unfortunately we are still looking. We found a townhouse which is $725 and we thought it would be pretty good. I tried calling the guy today but unfortunately he still hasnt answered his phone and I'm starting to get anxious cuz I want to find a place and move out but I dont want to settle for just anything, I want the perfect place for us. So I'm definately going to have to work on growing my patientice and just keep looking until we find a place.
