On a side note

After 4 years of being asked,"When is the next one?" and each time replying, "After Nursing School," We can finally say:

We are Pregnant!

This is old news to most since I'm almost halfway through the pregnancy now but, for bloggy purposes, we are pregnant! We found out Father's day evening, Lance was a little shocked to say the least. Logan is so excited and tells everyone how I have a baby in my tummy.

The past year I have come somewhat obsessive about expanding our family. I have been on Lances case since last December when I knew we'd be in the clear (done with school) if we got pregnant. We discussed a lot of things, like maybe the gap between Logan is just to big and he would be better off being an only. But I knew if he was I would feel like something is missing. The whole reason that I chose nursing was the crazy schedule may actually allow me to be a mom without day care. Then it turned out to be the issue that prevented us from jumping on the ball for a second.

I didn't realize how obsessed I had become until I would catch myself being jealous of little families that had multiple kids close together and the moms got to stay home with them. I began to resent my husband for having to always make the 'smart' decision rather then the one that followed my heart. I was born to be a mom and I absolutely love it and adore little Logan. I wonder if I could ever love another as much as I love him but I can feel it starting all over with this one. I'm absolutely thrilled to finally be pregnant again.

I'm past the first trimester which was very difficult for me, getting off pills, caffeine, being sick and doing precepting (overnight 12 hour shifts) on top of work was challenging but I graduated and we are in the clear. Everytime I feel sick or don't have any motivation to do anything I remember how lucky I am. I seriously lay in bed at night and think about nursing again and having everything be new again. It's going to be amazing. I'm so excited to see Lance with another, he is such a good daddy and has so much love for Logan. When he shows his excitement for this one it just melts my heart.
