This past month has been very busy and a roller coaster of ups and downs. To back track a little bit there was a moment in time where my OB thought I had preeclampsia. Thankfully it was found to not be true but I'm still at risk for getting it and have officially been put on bed rest and had to stop working. It was the scariest time of my life so far. Thinking that if I had preeclampsia and if it got bad enough my son would have to come almost 4 months early. I freaked out.
Luckily my amazing husband was by my side through everything and calmed my fears and wiped my tears.
After being put on bed rest I had 2 hospital visits and 3 dr appointments within a month's time. At first I didn't really believe I needed bed rest. But after everything I went through, it became clear quickly that I needed to slow down and rest as much as possible.
And then came Christmas! Now granted our family holiday was only spread out on two days. But it still took so much out of me just to help the hubby with some light cleaning around the house and enjoy the party with family on xmas eve. I was so tired and so sore on xmas day that I went to bed before the festivities were even done.
We had an amazing Christmas tho. And we are so happy and thankful we've gotten the kids all but one day during their Christmas break. Its been a blessing and so much fun having all of our kids here with us.
With the new year coming quickly and the old year fading fast I couldn't help but feel a sense of completion. I've reached a point in my life where I don't feel like I'm missing anything. Christ is at the center and I try to strengthen my relationship with him daily. I have my husband who continues to take my breath away and surprise me every day. I have 3 beautiful kids with a baby on the way. My family is so supportive and has helped with so much its incredible. I have the most caring and incredible friends. My life is completed. At least that's how I feel about it.
New year's eve was a blast. I loved seeing my husband let loose, have fun, and just enjoy everyone around. That was the highlight of my new years eve. And finally having a new years kiss at midnight.
This new year is going to be complicated but amazing in so many ways. I'm looking forward to loving my family and just making more memories. God has so much in store for our family and I'm excited to see what 2014 brings.
