SSW

It has been a while so why not on this frigid Wednesday join up for a So What Wednesday!

 

 

This week I am saying so what if:

 

• I laid in bed an extra 15 minutes. It is COLD outside and that is one of the first things I do, go outside to tend the animals. I am over winter.
• I am from the WAY northeast, and I do not like cold. There is a reason I moved south.
• all of my laundry is clean, dry and folded. It has not been put away yet.
• I am so thankful that this Friday I am off. Yay for altnerative work schedules.
• I am 29 weeks pregnant and have not yet started preparing for baby.
• My child is trying to potty train herself at 19 months old and I am not ready. She is still my baby. However, since she is so determined we will be in full on potty training mode soon. Sigh.
• I look at my blog frequently because I love the pretty design. I could not be happier with Jessica from Diamond Doll Designs. She is amazing.
• Thrilled that regular TV programming is coming back. Not that I have time. Thankful for DVR and the occassional snow day.

Head over and link up.

 



Twenty Fourteen

There is something about even years. I LOVE them. Is that odd? (chuckle).

2014 is going to be a big year for the W family. We are growing by one (soonish). My actual due date is the end of March however things seem to be progressing as they did with Baby Toddler C so most likely we will be having a baby NEXT MONTH. I cannot believe it. This has been the fastest 7.5 months of my life. (That I had every intention of documenting on this blog and well that didnt happen). A new year and a new start.

I am anxious, excited, filled with wonder and fear.

I am most anxious about how C takes this new adjustment. She is our world currently (and knows it). I am hopefully that she has been raised, thus far, to be generous and caring. She loves to momma her babies and adores our animals. I hope this caring nature falls onto her baby sibling. I pray she isnt resentful or too jealous. I hope she still loves her mommy as she did before baby arrived. Is this a silly fear?

I am anxious about leaving my baby girl over night. I have not left her for more than a few hours (for work) at a time. Never overnight and never with anyone other than her father. This terrifies me. Like to the point of "Can I just have this baby at home?" No seriously, can I? I hope Baby #2 comes after the safe point and no NICU stay is necessary. I pray the delivery is smooth and we are allowed to leave as soon as possible.  Most of all I pray for health for both baby and I.

All that being said, I am excited to start this next journey of our lives together. I am excited to watch my daughter become a big sister. I am a big sister and I loved and adored it, actually still do. My little sister was my favorite toy :) She still is, even though she is a momma to three handsome men now, she was and will always be my little sister.

Of course I am excited to see my husband welcome a new member to our family. He has become such a wonderful caring father. Our daughter adores him. It warms my heart and I cannot wait to see this happen again (and again Lord willing).

So cheers to a bright 2014.
