All is well though so I can't complain :)
I have had an exciting week this last week and also 2 of my friends have both brought little baby boys into the world a day apart I'm so excited for them!!
On a not so happy note, I once again fell down- this time while I was at work, with two clients processing and a shop full of co-workers so everyone got to witness my lack of stability and grace. At first I was completely fine, I was actually on the ground laughing. I fell like my feet slipped straight out in front of me, it felt cartoonish in a way. It was about half an hour later I got weird pains and cramps so I called James to come get me and we got to spend a good few hours hooked up to monitors, had blood work done, and got an ultrasound to make sure all was well with McKenna.
All is well with McKenna, she's the just lucky one with the clumsiest mother in the entire world UGH
Ok ok ok
Another not so happy note, with Christmas literally around the corner I've been preparing and planning for a little girl to join us in the new year but cannot keep from wondering how things might have been. Wyatt would have been 8 months old this Christmas and I can't help but be sad about knowing we don't have exciting gifts and toys under the tree for him. It's just so hard to be happy when this is usually the happiest time of the year. I am happy, it's just hard. I miss my little man more than anything but again, I'm excited to tell his little sister about him and I hope he will help our little family become closer and stronger as the years go by. He is another example of who we should strive to be like.
I have had a hard time, just like everyone one else who has been paying attention to the news, dealing with the shooting in Connecticut. I was just watching the Voice from last night and saw them singing Hallelujah holding the names of those lost. I completely broke down. THEN I saw a post of a collage of pictures of all lost and that was it for me. A face to the name, and all I can say is I'm grateful to know that all those lost are with their Heavenly Father and it isn't for us to know or judge the how's and why's here on this earth. It will never make sense to us and it is something we should try to help people with for the future.
I really don't know what else to say, there is so much that could/should/would have been done and we should really put our focus on our families and friends and do our best to teach the future generations to love one another and to respect themselves and those around them. Imagine this world if we loved ourselves, and everyone as much as we should love ourselves. There would ben no hate and anger or abuse and violence- you would hope :/ Now if could just live this way. It always starts with us.
