Years from now, my kid(s) will ask me, "Mom, who was your first love?" I don't want to pull out a photo album and scrounge for a faded picture. I want to be able to look across the living room and say, "There he is!"
Loving my husband was the most painful thing I've ever done. I left my family and friends behind and moved to a new state 2000 miles away to marry a guy most of those "family and friends" still talk poorly about. (They're coming around...excruciatingly slowly). And since my husband and I have an age difference, we decided to have kids a little earlier than I would have liked (like if I was married to someone closer to my age). So I've given up a lot for my husband and I had to rearrange my goals, but it just goes to show you that life never goes according to plan. I'll still pursue my dreams of medical school and beyond, but now, I've got the love of my life supporting me.
I find all the sacrifices I made to be worth it. When Carlos puts his hand on my belly, and feels baby Giovanni kick, there's a look on his face that makes me so happy. I realize now, I would do so much for this man, because I love him that fiercely.
40 days until our first wedding anniversary!

I've yet to know what it's like to love someone "fiercely" as you so perfectly put it.
What is the definition of "first love"? My ex was my first but obviously I wasn't his first.
Yup, I married my first and last love.
I too would go to the ends of the Earth and beyond for him.
I know what you mean- my parents don't like my husband, my first love, either... it's hard... :( But my policy is to not let that stop me from living... and loving!
When are you due? I'm also just going into my 3rd trimester and my due date is November 8th.
@Mom2Be -I'm due November 17th!
