Wow. I just realized I haven't posted anything since last July! We have been CRAZY busy since my last post. With all positive things!
First, I officially became a La Leche League Leader for our area. That has been an amazing experience thus far. I can't say how much I love helping other moms in their breastfeeding journey.
I have attended a few more births as a doula and will be attending a training at the end of April to be one step closer to my certification. Again, what an awesome and rewarding gift to be able to assist families in welcoming their new babies. I am looking into a bereavement training as well to help families who are going through a loss. I was so lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support with our miscarriage and I want to extend that kindness to others.
G is growing and getting so much more child like all the time. He will be 2 in a few weeks and I keep trying to figure out where the time has run off to.
The husband and I are closer now than ever. After our loss, we really found comfort in being with each other. We have always been good at communicating, but after the loss, we made more of a point to spend quality time together. We have gone on dates and are making it a priority to be a couple as well as parents.
The biggest change is in September we found out we were expecting again! It was a complete and wonderful surprise. I had some serious mixed feelings having just lost a baby two months earlier. However, I feel that everything happens for a reason. In February we found out that G will be getting a little brother in early June. We feel so lucky to have been able to get pregnant so easily. I will go into more details about this pregnancy in a separate post on all things prego.
The holidays were wonderful, we got to travel to California to be with family for 2 weeks and it was a much needed and appreciated vacation. It does make me sad that half of our family lives so far away, but we make the most of the time we get to spend with them.
Beyond that, we have fostered some animals, done more house upgrades and are working towards being healthier overall.
I will try to be better about posting in the coming weeks. Getting everyone caught up on how this pregnancy has been and maybe even do a birth story post once little guy is born :) Who knows what else may happen between now and then that I will want to write about, but I am sure I will have lots to choose from.
Hope you all are well!
Until next time.......
