About Me

Everything happens for a reason. This is what i keep telling myself these days. With all the troubles that i had last year, i pray that i come out on top as a stronger person.

For one chapter to begin, one must be closed. I'm closing the chapter of my life where i am a victim of circumstance, and opening a new chapter where I am full of optimism. I got accepted into Sierra College's Nursing Program for Fall 2009 . I know this is the start of a better life for us. I'm extremly blessed and fortunate to have gotten into the program after only applying once. I'm taking this as a sign from whatever greater power there is out there that this is what I am truly supposed to be doing. i'm not taking anything for granted anymore.

Another little one in my future...

We've decided that we're gonna try for another baby this coming summer. First things first...i have to get my IUD removed. I have an appt in January to have it removed. Then after a couple cycles, I'll be back to normal...hopefully. I'm hoping to get pregnant anytime after May. That will give me time to finish up my pre-reqs for nursing. By the time I have the baby in early 2009, I'll be ready to apply to nursing school in the fall.

I want another girl so that my daughter can have a sister. I hope that they aren't too far apart because I want them to be the best of friends.

I'm excited to do it all over again....even labor...ha! I know it's not any less painful the second time, but I'm hoping that I won't be crying for an epidural this time.

I know this time around I'm gonna give breast feeding all of me. I'm not gonna sleep so much, and I'm definitely gonna eat and drink more. I'm even considering taking a breastfeeding class. I'm gonna be a milk machine. I'm gonna devote all of my time into making milk for my baby. It's so much cheaper, and it's so possible just with a little bit of work. I'm hoping that my work cooperates. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is getting up in the middle of the night again for those feedings. It was so nice when my daughter started sleeping through the night. I finally was getting all of my sleep again.

I'm looking forward to being pregnant again. I had a very good experience the first time around, for the most part. Pregnancy is amazing, and I'm so excited that I can do it again.
