I can't believe how far Oleg and I have come in the last year. We moved in together, found out we were pregnant, lost our baby boy, got engaged, became pregnant again, moved in with Shelby and Addy, GOT MARRIED, and so much more!
I think about Joshua every day, but the holidays made me miss him more than ever. We were supposed to have a 5 1/2 month old baby boy, but we didn't. I know God took him from us for a reason, and I can't be angry about that. All I can do is love our future children just as much as I love him.
Speaking of children, Abigail is going to be here SO soon! I'll be full term in just
3 1/2 weeks; that is truly unbelievable. I'm ready to finally meet her, and am so excited to finally have her here! Although I'm really nervous for the first few days of her life. There are a lot of grey areas that won't become clear until she's born, like whether she'll need surgery right away or not. I'm leaving it all in God's hands and
trying not to worry, though.
It's so cute how excited Addy is to meet baby Abigail. She talks about her all the time (: She says how she can't wait to have a baby sister, and reminds us of everything she's going to teach Abigail. I can hardly wait to see them interact <3
Oleg and I decided we really wanted to be married already, so that's what we did (: The manager at my bank told me she was a marriage officiant and would marry us for a great price. We're still planning to have a wedding in the summer, though. I've come to find out planning a wedding is difficult! There are so many details, I just don't know where to start. Summer isn't too far away, so I know I need to get on the ball and start planning now. We'll see how well that goes with a brand new baby (;
I don't tend to make New Year's resolutions, but in 2014 I want to draw closer to God. Oleg and I quit going to church and it really impacted our lives negatively. We need God in our lives, especially with everything we'll be going through with Abigail. I want us to start going to church regularly, and reading our bibles together instead of watching so many movies, and I think it's good for Abby to hear Scripture too.
We decided that instead of playing a white noise maker, we're going to play classical music and sounds of nature to soothe Abigail to sleep. That will be nice for me too, since I find nature so calming. We only have a couple more things to get before we're totally ready for her arrival. (is anyone every "totally ready" for their baby to arrive??)
I don't think I've forgotten anything (; I'll write again in a week or so with more updates!
~Tonight I pray for health, peace of mind, and compassion~
