Hey alll! January is almost over, thank god! It's been an okay month though, but it got COLD for awhile! Everything is going pretty good besides being broke as always. Time is going by super quick since Tyler was born, I mean it feels like just yesterday that I was going into the hospital for a check-up! Ever since he has turned 6 months he has hit so many milestones; he is crawling, sitting up, eating food, his tooth is almost all the way through! I really don't know where the time has gone but I am so glad that I get to share it with Ryan. He truly is the love of my life, and I could not live without him! It's hard to believe where our relationship has gone and if I was back to 1 week before I met Ryan and someone would tell me that in January of 2012 we would have an almost 7 month baby, and our own apartment along with everything else we have accomplished I would not believe them one bit. I have grown up so much since meeting Ryan, and I've become such a better person. I am so happy with my life right now, and I cannot wait until we get everything settled down.
As for me, I am STILL waiting for my period and I am awaiting the day when this months is supposed to come to see if it does! I have taken 5 HPT and they have all come back negative. I haven't seen the doctor yet because I'm absolutely terrified and because of how cold it's been! (-45's BRR!) but, next week I will be going! (Yes, I'm aware I've said that before, but this time I'm serious!) I really hope that I am not pregnant, but if I am I will deal with it! I wasn't taking birth control but we ALWAYS used a condom so if I am, I will consider the baby a blessing. There is just one thing bothering me about if I'm pregnant or not, and I've been dying to write an entry about this so I can get advice from other mama's. I am not concerned about what people will think, or how I will afford everything. I am most concerned about how you love 2 very young children! All of my attention right now goes into Tyler, and if I was pregnant then the new baby would come when Tyler is just over a year old. He would still need so much attention, plus a new baby would need so much attention and I am just worried that I wouldn't be able to do it. If anyone has any advice or opinions on this please let me know because that is what it really concerning me. I sware, I have felt my heart breaking over this situation!
Anyway, Ryan is hounding me for the laptop so that is all for now!
xo, Amanda!
You will be fine! Here's what I done & Bree is a lil less than 2 yrs older than Ryan. When he needed to be fed, she helped hold bottle. When it was time for his bath, she helped by handing me the things I needed. She got a diaper & wipes out, etc. hen needed. I would let her hold him (w/ help of course). She done ALOT more than most parents would let their little ones do. But, I wanted her to feel like she was wanted too I guess u could say. And this way, I wa spending time with BOTH, w/o feeling like I was neglecting the other. You go w/ the flow. You'll be fine! I haw faith in you. & Tyler will fine too. One big happy family!

Thank you, GiGi! <3
ReplyDeleteYour period sounds a lot like mine. Really erratic. I know if I'm not on any form of hormonal birth control my period can be three months apart at a time. I use natural family planning and it has landed me pregnant twice. So if you're avoiding pregnancy, probably good you use condoms. It's really difficult to determine when you're going to ovulate if you don't have a typical 28 day cycle.
ReplyDeleteAs for if you do become pregnant...I'll be honest with you. You'll probably spend your entire pregnancy worrying about how you could ever love another child as much as you love Tyler, without taking away from Tyler. Then the day you give birth, you'll look at your new baby and your heart will just double in size to make room for your new child. That's how it happened for me anyways. I was so afraid I could never have that same relationship with Hannah. I don't. Because I have a truly unique relationship with each of my children. But I will tell you this, I love them both with all of my heart, equally. You will too ;) And while having another baby may take a bit of time away from Tyler at first, you'll be giving Tyler a new sibling and friend for the rest of his life. And what can be better than that?
You're probably right Danielle, thank you. :):)
