Just thought I'd jump back on here to say we celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary yesterday! We ended up stopping by our wedding venue for a few minutes and taking some photos outside in the spots where we took a lot of our wedding photos. I'm 31 weeks pregnant, so seeing this transformation was so cool! We will probably do it again next year featuring our little guy (Also we really wanted to recreate the photos with me sitting on his lap in front of the greenery, but being this pregnant I genuinely didn't think I'd be able to get back up if I sat down that low to the ground hahaha)
We also watched our wedding video last night which was really fun and nostalgic (still SO glad we got a videographer, one of the best wedding decisions we made!) but also a little stressful lol. I feel like at the time I had such a good attitude about all the things that went wrong, but for some reason as time goes on I feel more and more peeved by some of the little things? Like I'm frustrated with myself mostly that there are some more photos we should've gotten but didn't get, with our MC for ruining our first dance and our cake cutting, with my FIL for pulling my husband out in the middle of our reception to "talk in private" (and with my husband for going along with him), etc. All of these things I let go at the time and didn't feel like a big deal because we were so happy, but for some reason they make me more and more annoyed as time goes on. You would think the opposite would happen, that they would seem pettier as time goes on, but apparently not lol. Also, we got cupcakes last night from the bakery that made our cake and ate them while we watched the video (didn't want to splurge on a WHOLE cake again so cupcakes were good enough haha).
Overall, our past 2 years have been a little rough. Obviously covid hit about 9 months into our marriage and I got laid off. We had started trying for a baby a few months after we got married, and then shortly after our 1 year anniversary we were diagnosed with infertility and told there was little to no chance we would ever conceive without medical intervention. So we began year 2 with a lot of tears, a lot of doctors appointments, literally over 100 self-administered injections, a couple surgeries, and a miscarriage, but now we are so blessed to be expecting our baby boy in early August! As difficult as things have been, it really forces you to think about what's important. I am so glad we have so many beautiful memories from our wedding day surrounded by all the people we love (despite the things that went wrong, lol) and to be married to such a wonderfully supportive partner who has been by my side to weather all these hardships. We say "for better or for worse" and we never imagine that so much of the "worse" will come first, but it is just so important to have the right person by your side in good times and in bad!
Anyway, just wanted to share our little 2-year update because this community meant so much to me while I was planning my wedding!
