I haven't had the chance to update here for a while, so here we go! I honestly don't have a lot to update on, but I thought I'd take the time to ramble on some nonsense as it may be the last post before the baby arrives! SO CRAZY. My brain can't even comprehend how much things are going to change and how it's going to be to have a baby in my life.. let alone be a mother. It will be an interesting transition for sure. Growing up, I am the youngest child of 6 kids. I was never really around babies that much as the sole person in charge. I never really had an interest in babies. In fact, I pretty much hated kids because I didn't have the patience for them. Obviously I came to realize that things would be SO different for me when they are my own children. Plus I've grown up a lot.. or at least I like to think so! Haha! Anyways, life changes coming up.. so here's a quick update on life as of now.
Right now, we're obviously preparing for the babies arrival.. which we're pretty much as ready as we're going to be. Adam is still in school until about the start of next summer. The classes he takes are about 5 weeks long each. He starts the next class this coming Monday which means that his finals for this class will be right around the due date. GREAT TIMING, right? So right now, he's trying to get a head start on the class to hopefully make it easier toward the closing of the class. I prettymuch have just been focusing on work and staying awake. I've been pretty tired recently.. but I'm still working up until the birth. That's the plan so far unless things get really hard. Work is going well for both of us. I am a "contractor" so I don't get maternity leave, but Adam is a full-time employee, so he does get some paternity leave. Not much, but some. He's been trying to save up his PTO so that we have more time to use if needed. So we'll see how things go. My mom is not working right now so that will be nice to have her home if I need the help when the baby gets here! I feel like life is kind of at a stand still right now. It's probably the calm before the storm. Yikes. We might be in for a treat, but I'll be sure to keep the updates coming as we experience that transition! Recently, my grandpa (moms dad) had a heart attack. So my mom has been up visiting them and helping them a couple times within the last couple months.. they live a couple hours away from us in the white mountains. He is doing better and getting stronger, but gave us all quite the scare. I'm so lucky to have some of my grandparents still around for me to bond and connect with. If I wasn't so far into this pregnancy, I would like to have been up there visiting and helping out as well, but I don't want to be so far away from home if I go into labor. I'm glad things are looking up for them. I'm excited for them to meet yet another great grandchild! Probably not as excited as I am to meet him, but you know! ;) I'm trying really hard to blog about something OTHER THAN the pregnancy or birth, but it's my life right now..aaaand I don't really have anything else going on. So, sorry bout that! Anyway, life is still moving along for us Browns!
