Another birthday has come and gone, quite awhile ago actually, but I am just finding some "free" time now, while at work, heh.
It has been a pretty amazing year all in all. I would not say that I feel any older. Heck, most of the time I still have a hard time thinking of myself as an adult or believing that I am someone's mother. Weird. I am not sure if I am where I expected to be at this point in my life because I am not sure what expectations I had for myself really. I guess I am a bit surprised to be expecting baby zwei in a few short months, but in a wonderful way. It goes without saying that this parenting gig is hard, hard, (impossibly hard on somedays!) work, but it is also a blessing, a privilege, a joy. Beckett is at such a fun age right now, soaking up new words, wanting to go go go and explore. And yet he is still very sweet. I cannot wait to watch him and his brother play together. Of course, I will have to survive the next couple years to get to that place. :) One day at a time...
Life right now...
mostly revolves around our little man and I am okay with that.
does not involve much free time or time alone with my husband, poor guy.
is full of highs and lows.
at 24 weeks pregnant, is exhausting physically.
involves me working 2 part time jobs (one in the lab and one at home).
has given me my first age spot.
is wonderful and joyous.
is hard.
is occasionally stressful.
is lots of fun.
The next year should be even more interesting.
Happy belated birthday...hang in there, someday everything will calm down, right? Ha...doubtful. Every stage of life brings new challenges, but there are lots of very bright moments amidst the chaos & craziness!
