FALL 2012
M started his first semester of grad school in Clinical Psych. Now, the way this program is set up the book intensive classes and the hardest classes are put into the first semester so that the other semesters can be focused on practicum. He worked super hard, and pulled out a 4.0! Woo hoo!
R, our two year old, started at an in-home daycare. He had a rough time adjusting at the beginning, but eventually came around. We could not have asked for a better caretaker for our crazy, intense schedule. She has become like family to us, which is an answered prayer since our family lives a ways away.
I continued work at the bank. It wasn't too bad, kept me busy, but it definitely took an emotional toll on me to be away from R so much. Though, in July/August we found out that I was pregnant! We had decided when Robbie turned two that we were not going to actively try, but if it happened then awesome! We could not have been more excited when that little test came back positive! I kind of already knew that I was pregnant...the nausea had been kicking in. M actually came up with our announcement...which was not mail worthy, but definitely cute enough for FB!
I think he did a pretty good job :)
Well, I made my doc appointment, and told the doctor that my due date was March 15th. He just looked at me and said, "Yep!" Since R was a csection, and the hospital does not allow VBAC's I just went ahead and scheduled a csection with this baby. Though, more details about my pregnancy and birth with baby L will go in another post!
Our little gummy bear!
So, the semester ended without a hitch, and boy M was relieved for it to be over! He and R got a good month off together, while I chugged away at work. Work was interesting...there were 5 pregnant women up there. Yeah, you read that correctly, 5! One of the girls up there had her baby the same day as me! Three hours apart! We had a wonderful Christmas with M's family. They all came to Hville and stayed with us for a few days. It was cramped, but we could not have asked for a better, more loving Christmas!
Well, I'm going to sign off for the night, and I will (hopefully) post part 2 tomorrow night!
Buenos noches!
