As I sit here writing, I see the beginning of fall colors outside my window. I sit with anticipation of what is to come for me and my family. I'm excited, nervous, and scared all at the same time.
The Cook's will be making a physical move in just three short weeks. We are thrilled. We will be moving to the Oakhurst District of Decatur. A four bedroom, two and half bath with a playroom and formal dining room. What's a girl to do....SCREAM for joy at all the space!! Hagie and I love our home but we outgrew it...ohhhh about six years ago! My cousin, Carrie, is in real estate and helped us through the process of finding our new abode. She's fantastic and I cannot say enough great things about her (and not just because she's family). We have a lot of packing to do to prepare but we can do it! We are a team!
You guessed it! That fourth bedroom will hopefully be occupied by another Baby Cook if God blesses us with the opportunity to parent another precious child of his. There's no baby yet but Hagie and I both look forward to an expansion. Am I crazy...maybe? But I've finally accepted there is no perfect situation or time for a second. I am trusting God with the details. After all, isn't that what he wants us to do?
Connor talks a lot these days about having a baby sister and a baby brother. I don't argue that Mommy is only up for one or the other. His excitement is too cute to crush. Especially when Connor believes having a baby sister or brother is as easy as "just go to the neighbors house and get one." Oh if it were that easy :)
Of course I still have all the worries that I've had for the past two years: How will I parent a teenager soon to be young adult, busy bee Connor and an infant with a husband who travels; how will I work out a way to work; how do I preserve enough of myself so I have the energy to be the best mommy I can be, the best stepmom I can be, the best wife I can be, the best friend I can be and the best therapist to my clients that I can be? I read a quote recently that I love and its reads " there are two days a week that you don't have to worry about...yesterday and tomorrow." Isn't that true but so hard to do. I am trying.
Changes are coming and I'm preparing the best I know how!
