All Because Two People Fell in Love

Hello again! If you missed Friday’s post, I announced that we are pregnant and due in March!

After three years of marriage, Jeffrey and I are having a baby.

Our family of three (including Lily) is going to be a family of four very soon, and Lily won’t be the baby anymore. We are very excited about our new arrival, and I am looking forward to sharing the journey with you, if you are interested!

To back up a bit, let me tell you what’s been going on. It’s been a long secret to keep when you write a blog about food and healthy living.

We are about 12.5 weeks pregnant right now and due March 15, 2012. This is our new favorite picture! Looks like the baby is just hanging out in a swing with its legs crossed.

I have so many topics I want to write about still related to healthy living, like food and exercise while pregnant.

I will still be posting normal recipes, and I look forward to sharing some new things now that my appetite has returned to normal and my sweet tooth is returning.

I will write about the first trimester soon, but the strangest part was that my sweet tooth disappeared completely. I didn’t bake anything (except the challah), and desserts were rarely appetizing. I was definitely running out of things to write about.

If you have questions or topics you’d like me to write about, feel free to leave a comment or send me an email.

One thing I wanted to share today is a song. This song has been rolling through my head and my iPod for about a month. It’s an oldie by Brad Paisley called “Two people fell in love.” I think it is so sweet and shows the importance of a close family and generations of love. We both come from wonderful families, and this baby will be the first grandchild for our parents, and the first great-grandchild on my side.

I encourage you to download the song if you don’t know it. I tried to attach it here, but don’t know how!

Two people fell in love

By Brad Paisley

A baby’s born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room
They grab his feet, smack him till he cries he goes home the next afternoon
‘Fore you know it he’s off to school and then he graduates in May
Goes out and gets a Ph.D. and then cures all sorts of things
Wins a Nobel Prize and saves a million different lives
The world’s a better place for all he’s done
It’s funny when you think about the reason he’s alive
It’s all because two people fell in love

Right now at a picnic shelter down by Caney Creek
You’ll find potato salad hot dogs and baked beans
The whole Wilson family’s lined up fillin’ their paper plates
They’ve drove or flown in here from fifteen different states
Well Stanley Wilson says that sixty years ago he knew
That Miss Emma Tucker was the one
Now five generations get together every June
All because two people fell in love

[1st Chorus]
There ain’t nothin’ not affected
When two hearts get connected
All that is, will be, or ever was
Every single choice we make
Every breath we get to take
Is all because two people fell in love

Well, I recall a young man who was driftin’ aimlessly
And a young waitress who seemed lonesome as could be
But in a little cafe right off of fourteenth avenue
With a whole lotta help from up above
We met and things sure turned around for me and you
And all because two people fell in love

[2nd Chorus]
Baby, there ain’t nothin’ not affected
When two hearts get connected
All that is, will be, or ever was
I’m glad your dad could not resist
Your mama’s charms and you exist
All because two people fell in love

You know, to me it’s all so clear
Every one of us is here
All because two people fell in love

A baby’s born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room
They grab his feet, smack him till he cries he goes home the next afternoon
