I knew i liked that name

Me

And what would we have done if it was a boy?

Noah

Cam(embert) Caruso

Me

If you keep naming this child after cheese, our marriage may not recover

Noah

You gouda be kidding me??? We haven’t even made it down the aisle

Me

the lactose intolerance is awakening

Noah

Don’t worry dairy free cheese is brie-licious

Me

You’re making me curdle

Noah

Hah! I’ve converted you! A cheese joke!

Me

It wasn’t that grate

Noah

I can die a happy man

Me

Well you can’t die yet, but the girls think you might when you see what I’m wearing tonight.

Noah

I’d rather see it off you.

Biting the inside of my cheek, I check the time. We still have fifteen minutes. I consider the perfect white lingerie set I’m wearing under this. It really would be a shame not to document it… Boudoir shootsarepretty common before your wedding.

A thrill runs through my veins, and I shimmy off the dress. In the mirror, my eyes fall to my large bump, and I absentmindedly place a hand over it. My back aches from the extra front weight, but when I think about what’s inside there, I can’t help but smile.

Another text pops in.

Noah

I’ve gotta put my phone in my locker soon, so if you’re busy, I love you, baby.
