These past 9 months have flown by. My pregnancy with Grace went a lot slower. I was just so busy this time around, I haven't even gotten a chance to get ready for Manny to come! I just graduated from nursing school, we just bought a house, and I am working nights. Busy BUSY! But I only have three weeks to go! INSANE! We close on our house on May 29th, and Manny is due on June 2nd. I wonder if he will wait?
These last days really makes me think about the fact that it won't be just us three anymore. Grace won't be the only child! She is centered around everything in my life. She is my first and last thought of every day. She is why I work so hard. She is my everything! And it's about to change. I know I will love Manny just as much as I love Grace, but it's hard to imagine I could love something else as much as I love her. She is such a joy. Yesterday, we were laying down to take a nap. I had just passed nursing school. We were nose to nose and she threw her little arm around my neck and said "Good job Mommy!". She melts my heart! I have struggled these past few months, wondering if I am the Mom she deserves. With school and working nights, I feel like I am absent Mommy. I just hope she knows that I do all this for her. I hope she doesn't remember the days that I had to sleep, or study. I try to take advantage of every moment I have with her.
Everything is about to change. I'm becoming a nurse. A mother of two. And a homeowner! Oh...and I can't forget about my new mini-van! Love it!
I can't wait to make our new house a home. Our very own space. So much to celebrate and even more to be thankful for.
