My 2013 Rollercoaster of a Year in Review

Another year is ending. Another year beginning with so many changes coming with it. Looking back & ahead:
2013
At the beginning of the year, we were still settling in to our new town. I still was wanting to conceive a second child, which seemed impossible. I was sad at every start of my period. My husband, of course, was telling me to put it in God's hands.
As the year progressed, I came to terms with not getting pregnant & decided to focus on getting healthy. I lost at least 10 pounds (I rarely step on scales). I begin to consistently pray for God's will in my life rather than praying for what I wanted. I signed my little girl up for public kindergarten, something I never imagined doing. (She loves it)
And then I decided I wanted a change. I went back to school for accounting - something else I never imagined doing, and I begin to think about getting my tubes tied... God had different plans!
Finding out I was pregnant came with a mix of emotions because I felt I had just accepted after all these years & moved on. It only took a few days before I was in a better state of mind. I had prayed for God's will, & this is i Everything is on His time & not mine & I have to accept that! So I started my new classes with extreme morning sickness & fatigue, but I made it thru my semester & signed up for more.
I don't know how long this new degree will take now that I am once again going to be in college with a baby, but it will be worth it to finally get a career I want.
2014
The year starts off with my ultrasound on the 9th. Can't wait for that! I will start my second semester of accounting that week as well & MaKenzie goes back to school. So that will be a busy week.
I have so much preparation for the baby to do. I don't want to procrastinate. I always do that, but I feel like if I do that then my schooling will suffer. So, I will have my crib set up & all the supplies bought with plenty of time to spare--I hope.
Welcoming a new baby in time for MaKenzie's summer vacation will give her plenty of time to bond with the baby. It will also mean no lugging a new born for pick up & drop offs. For that, I am grateful!
I really don't know what to expect of this year. Life with 2 kids and not living near family intimidates me a bit, I can't lie. All I can do is continue to pray for God's will & ask Him to guide me on this journey.
So.
Happy New Year & God bless. May this year bring you all you many more happy memories.

After admitting I needed help with the nausea and spending Christmas in the hospital, I think I am finally getting better. Today was my first day without the nausea. No home remedies or RX meds! Praying it keeps getting better on its own!!
That was officially the worst Christmas ever.
I can't wait for my ultrasound on the 9th! Feeling the baby move (& it moves constantly) has made it a reality that this is happening. I am going to be a mommy of 2 soon!
MaKenzie is still super excited & still telling everyone it is a girl. I decided to let her come along for the ultrasound. I will have to get her from school about an hour early, but I think it will be worth it for her to share that memory......& if it is a boy, the Dr will be the 1 breaking her heart with the news--not mommy! Lol.

Pregnancy Dreams

OK...so everyone knows pregnant ladies have the craziest dreams ever & I just had a strange one!
I honestly just dreamed I was being eaten. By a person...
In it, I was sleeping & woke up to some crazy person chewing on me. I managed to break free & run to my husband & wake him up. He punches the guy & the crazy person runs off.

Yeah. So strange that I googled the whole "meaning if a dream" thing. Turns out, to dream about being eaten by a cannibal means that something in your life is draining your energy..or something to that degree.
Hmm...I have a feeling it could be that I am 17 weeks pregnant with this constant sickness. That is TOTALLY draining!
I dunno if I would rather deal with the insomnia or the weird dreams at this point if they are getting this off the wall.
