We'll all be married 3 months this month!
We hit our 3 month mark this weekend. I can't believe how fast time has flown and yet I feel like we have been married forever!
Re: We'll all be married 3 months this month!
I know - seriously we're going to be having our one year anniversaries before we know it. I guess they're right - time really does fly when you're having fun.
How's the raspberry baby doing?

Raspberry is making me so sleepy and feel like crap! LOL but otherwise good. Sonogram last week showed we are right where we thought and the baby has a strong heartbeat, it was 126 bpm at the time. But seriously I just want to sleep all the time right now
The past three months have definitely flown by.. I can't believe it's gone so quickly! Married life has been wonderful so far though which is great.. just gotta start saving for a house!
Our three months has been really trying actually. Not trying as in with each other , but together. We had a death in the family right after we got back from the honeymoon. Which threw all the holiday planning aside. I started a new job which killed me to both leave the old one (with so many friends but poor managers) and start the new one (many more hours, responsibilities, travel). We put our house up as a rental and have again have had to put so much money into it in a months time and the final moving. I cannot wait for things to settle down which I thought would happen right after the wedding. I'm still running to catch up! But I know soon it will quiet and I will be so thankful. It's been great to have DH by my side thru all of this- being part of a team makes all the difference.
I cannot wait to start TTC, but have to wait due to not yet having short term disability at the new job. Yes - soon it will be a year and it will have flown by!
Three months down on Saturday! Which means we're two months away from moving (thank God) and three months away from starting TTC (squee)! I could not be more excited.

This is exactly how I feel! It feels like yesterday was Halloween, and in a blink, here we are! So much has happened and some days I just want to crawl under the covers and hibernate until everything goes back to normal. It's been a life-saver to have DH standing beside me through it all.
T -
I remember losing my father not too long ago and it is just a flurry of activity for months it seems before there is normal. Well at least a new normal. It sounds as if you the daughter, has in some ways stepped into the roll of parent in trying to deal with the family and hold everything together. It really redefines a person when their (mine/yours) has to make such a drastic change so quickly. The first year is very tough, as it is every single holiday/event without the person. But it does get e little easier with time.
Crawl into that ball on occasion. It is okay to take a breather from being the strong one. Really it is. Lean on people, they will understand. Remember to take care of yourself while you are taking care of others too. I guess remember to see the good in the smallest moments. I know that you will have a different sense of "living every moment to it's fullest" when you go thru something like this. It's very hard when you have so much on your plate but really it will get better with time. Hugs to you. Just take a moment and re-claim the fact that you just got married to the love of your life. It's ok to recognize that joy amidst all the sorrow that surrounds you right now. I remember feeling guilty for even smiling some days.
For what it's worth, my DH cousin got married shortly before us. Her mother passed away Thanksgiving weekend. She is feeling so bad at a time when she wanted to feel so much joy. I think of you both and what you must be struggling with and my heart goes out to both of you. I've talked a bit to her about the same things.
Bella -- thanks! I think in many ways the lack of normalcy is the worst part. We finally had the memorial this weekend and I do feel a little better just not having that to plan and spending so much time dwelling on it.
I haven't even looked at our wedding pictures because it's so hard not to directly associate the wedding with my mom's death. That's one thing I really hope will improve with time. Thanks again for the thoughts and support.
