Josh's sister had her baby yesterday - so I'm officially an aunt! It's such a crazy feeling, almost hard to believe. Josh and I are very excited for them and cannot wait to go meet sweet baby Rachel next weekend!!
I feel like I haven't done an update on life lately! Probably because I really haven't. lol Josh arrived home safely from California late on Wednesday night. Next morning we got a pretty bad snow storm. It left us snowed in and enjoying a snow day together. Kinda nice after we hadn't seen each other in almost a week. But now we're pretty sick of the snow.
Today has been a little rough on me. I can't even blame it on PMS - which surprises me. This is actually exactly how I start feeling the week before my period. But it's 2 weeks before, so like I said...can't blame it on that. lol I think "being an aunt" has brought some of it on. I'm just bummed that Josh and I are not in a situation where we can start a family yet. Realistically it's going to be AT LEAST 2 more years before we can even be ready to attempt the trying process. If I could fast forward my life by about 2 years, I would. I'm so ready to be out of this town and moved on to bigger and better things. Ok mostly just wanting to be out of this town and settled somewhere happily back in Pennsylvania. :-)
I attempted to be crafty today and the tears got me. I was struggling and after several attempts I just gave up. I don't think an emotional day is a good day to attempt something new. lol
Here's to hoping the week is better than today is looking. I cannot wait to take our trip next weekend to meet the baby! :-)

Oh honey, I know that feeling! You just have to focus on what you CAN do and not what you can't. Todd and I are planning trips that we could never take with a child. Think about how great it is to just snuggle with Josh and not worry about scrubbing bottles or a baby screaming in the other room. :) Take advantage of the good now because eventually you won't get that chance! :)
ReplyDeleteI hear ya about paying off bills. We're doing the same. Maybe you and I can start our own little "We Have To Wait to Procreate" club. lol! We won't be trying for another year or so. I still get mad when he jokes about it. We went into the baby section to get a baby gate for the dog and he was pointing to a bunch of cute baby stuff. It's so frustrating! I think the best thing is focusing on being healthy and working out and getting in shape. Maybe use that as your motivation? That's what I'm going to do. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being an aunt! I understand how it's frustrating to want to move on with your life when you can't. But I guess there's a time and place where everything will work out and you just have to make the best of what you have right now! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your auntie status! I hear your frustrations and emotions about it, though. I can relate in some ways to that. I'm glad Josh made it home before the next big snow storm.
ReplyDeletelol! That's my reasoning too! I want to look pregnant and be like, Aww... preggo belly! Not, Oh man, she's getting fatter! lol. I'm serious about our club ya know. :) I haven't updated because I wanted to include pics, but to upload pics it's a pain in the ass (don't have an SD slot on this comp). Also, the dog chewed the crap out of my power cord which means not on the computer as often. I'll try updating tomorrow k?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being an auntie! It's the best feeling!
ReplyDeleteI totally can relate to how you feel about having kids of your own. I keep waiting, and waiting...forever (or so it feels). I just remember that the day will come and it will perfect.
Congrats on your new niece!! :) I bet she is sweet!!
ReplyDeleteSo is Josh done with school? I know you are! Are you still teaching? I didn't want children right off the bat,but ya know lol It'll be 4 years if we have anymore. My body really needs to recovery bad!
