Well,I'm back after not blogging for some time. Not because I didn't want to but because life took over and I found myself with little time or energy to write.
The first weekend of November we moved into a bigger house in Decatur near the Oakhurst Village. We were in desperate need of more space and I needed piece of mind that Connor would be attending a good school system. I cannot say enough positive things about how supportive my husband was of my constant nagging and push to get us out of our small home and into one that we could grow into. He listened, understood and began to recognize just how important it was for us to have more room.
We moved in one weekend and Connor and I went out of town the next. Hagie went back out of town for work and we left with boxes and boxes to unpack. We've just now gotten settled. That brings us to just about mid November.
After months of praying and seeking guidance about if and when we should expand our family, God answered our prayers in only a way that he could: a positive pregnancy test! I'm still not sure the reality has set in. I'd be lying to say I don't have anxiety and fear associated with a second child but at the same time I am trusting that this is what God has in store for us. It's part of our big picture.
I worry about being a mommy to a newborn with Hagie out of town each week. I worry about being able to give enough time and attention to Connor as he continues to grow into his own little personality that is ever so precious! I worry about finances. I worry about how to deal with being in private practice and how to ensure that my clients needs are met while I'm taking care of my own and my family's. My solution to the worries is I try and practice mindfulness each day. Living for today, trusting that God is going to provide a way for the rest. He always does.
November and December have come and gone and I feel like I was barely "in the game" for it. My first trimester has been a doozy (more on this later) and I feel like I have literally let two months pass me by. But to be honest, I'm not sure I could have done anything differently. I got through Christmas, doing all of our "normal" activities because Connor was so excited this year. I wish I could have mustered up more Christmas spirit.
That's the quick catch up on the last two months...I look forward to writing about the next leg of the journey!
