Waiting, waiting and more waiting

I feel like with each pregnancy, I am ready to be done with it sooner. It is hard to wait it out especially when so much is so supposed to be happening around the due date. I am down to 3 weeks until this little one's due date and I felt done with this pregnancy a few weeks ago. I have had an especially rough third trimester between lower back pain, pulling abdominal muscles, and extremely loose ligaments and joints that makes walking truly hurt. I do not mean to complain either. It just shows how different each pregnancy can be.

So my goal lately is learning to be patient. My baby girl will come when she is ready. I have been doing all I can to prepare my body for labor, but it is up to her in the end. I guess what has me stuck right now is that life is hard to plan when you do not know when your baby will decide to be born. Brian and I have been working on planning (to the best of our abilities) the next few months of our lives which will include having a baby, moving, and starting a new job. All exciting and somewhat stressful things. So right now, we are planning according to her due date. Something that I suppose helps us (mainly me) be patient. The rough part is that we cannot really do anything until this baby is born. So we are hoping that she might decide to make an early arrival. Here is to planning for the worst and hoping for the best I guess...

Family is everything.

As I sit here thinking, my heart is full. I have the same routine every night before I go to bed...I clean my face, brush my teeth, say my prayers, and check on each one of my children. Seeing their sweet, sleeping faces just melts my heart. I think about each of their personalities. I wonder what goes through their minds and what they may be dreaming about. I come to an understanding with myself that I have an amazing and blessed life. My family is my everything. My life wouldn't be worth much without them. I am truly grateful for what I have and the role I am playing in the grand scheme of things. I hope I can continue to learn and become better each day. I know my family is constantly teaching me.

Thoughts of the future

Life can be extremely scary especially when you do not know what to expect. I am 17 weeks pregnant and I will graduate from the nursing program in 9 weeks. After that, I am expected to the take the NCLEX to get my RN license. So much change is ahead of us. Currently, Brian is applying to multiple jobs to see where we may end up. We will most likely be moving in May. But we do not know where yet. I think that is probably the scariest thing of all. I am going to have to find a new OB and hospital to have this baby. The tension and worry is just starting to build up for me and I am not sure how to handle it, but rather just go through life one day at a time. Something will come up and we will know what we are doing at some point. All I can say is that I have great faith in the Lord. He gets me through each day and calms my anxiety. He gives me the reassurence I need to carry on. We have been so greatly blessed and I notice it often. I am also blessed to have a wonderful, righteous husband...

Terrified for the Future

Recently, I've learned about some issues our country is facing. But more specifically that it is happening where we live and within our school district. I am terrified for my children.  I'm terrified for the curriculum that is trying to be forced upon them. If you're not sure what I am talking about, look up CRT (critical race theory). Here is an article that has good info on it: https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/critical-race-theory-fight/ Our school district has been using non-threatening words like "diversity", "equity", and "inclusion ". All of those seem good. But don't let that fool you. If our school district chooses to add this to the curriculum, I will remove my kids from the district and home school them or find an alternative option. This is not okay. Telling my young children that just love everyone and want to include everyone that they are racist is NOT OKAY.  Please parents, be aware of what is happening where you live. Fight to...
