Another Year of Big Changes
Last year I went from being single to married which was a big change. I guess I expected everything to settle down for awhile as I got used to this new life stage. However, this new year is bringing about some big changes in the first month.
First, Erik's sister's family is moving out of the house to San Luis Obispo area. The house will be much emptier (because about half of the stuff in our house currently belongs to them if not more) and quieter (because the two kids are moving out with them and we will only have adults in the house). When Ashley first found out that they were moving, she cried, her mom cried, and mom cried. It was very emotional, especially because they will no longer be immediately accessible to us to hangout with. I was touched because Ashley cried and said that she would miss me. I am going to miss her too. I'll also miss seeing Brian grow up everyday. He changes so fast. Our whole family dynamic will change.
Erik and I will also be moving into the soon to be empty bedroom upstairs since it's bigger and we will have a private bathroom. We're looking into buying new bedroom furniture so that we could leave our current one in our room for the guests. Erik's parents are already telling us to hurry up and have kids because the house will be too quiet and boring.
Which brings me to the really BIG change, possible pregnancy and parenthood. This will definitely be the biggest change of my life. I've been preparing myself for pregnancy this month by going to the dentist and the doctor. Of course I've already been taking the prenatal vitamins.
Why go to the dentist? Because apparently dental health is extremely important during pregnancy. A toothache could set off pre-term labor contractions. So can dehydration and holding your pee because it could cause urinary tract infection. I also went to the doctor to get my pap smear for the first time ever in my life.
All I can say is, "LORD, have mercy."
