So this tired mama just got back from a long yet relaxing Spring Break which will be my excuse for my blogging absence.
I just want to inform EVERYONE that after a long 21 weeks, tomorrow is the day that I find out the sex of my baby! Patience is one thing that I have definitely begun to learn throughout the course of my pregnancy. These 4 weeks between appointments are dreadful because I always like to know how my little one is progressing in my growing womb.
I have learned that patience is the key to anything in life really. We are always so anxious for what happens next that we must learn to slow down and take life day by day.
I couldn’t imagine a day where I’m blissfully and peacefully relaxing on my wooden white porch in my country side mansion with my 3 children, a husband and a dog running through the tall grass. Of course that is just hypothetical but my life is always so on-the-go that I barely ever just relax and really just take in life. It could be such a wonderful thing if everyone was in relaxation mode without any bills or other problems to worry about.
When we are younger, we talk about what we want to be when we grow up like a doctor or a dinosaur in hopes that we will SOON become this older version of ourselves. When we are in elementary school, we constantly talk about high school, getting a boyfriend/girlfriend, or when our boobs are going to come in. Then, when we finally get to high school, we find jobs, talk about marriage, college and what we are going to do with our lives- and this is all before we turn 18 years old! All of those wants and excitements in life are what makes it go by so fast. We often forget what it’s like to slow down and take in who we are and how far we’ve become today. I believe that is the most important part. We don’t give ourselves enough credit or look at how much shit we’ve been through until you actually sit down for 10 minutes and just think.

People always tell me that I need to slow down my life and enjoy the time I have being a 22-year-old but I often catch myself excited for what comes next. I will be a 22-year-old mom but I will also be a 22-year-old college graduate, 2 time captain for the varsity soccer team, employed, and soon to have my Master’s degree so I think I’m doing pretty good. People doubted me and still do but I have faith in myself and the abilities I have in life to be successful at whatever I set my mind to, and you should too!
