It has been SOO long since I've written and so much has happened. February is the last time and my life looks drastically different.
Seth and I bought our first home which at first was a hard adjustment for me but I'm loving it. It's the perfect size for us and I'm starting to get the hang of how to keep it clean :) Going from a 600 square foot apartment to a two story home is a big change in cleaning responsibilities. Not to mention the million fruit tree's we have in our yard. It's a little overwhelming at times. We have an apricot tree, cherry tree, plum tree, pear tree, two walnut tree, an apple tree, and grape vines. Talk about a lot of upkeep. Most of my summer has consisted of picking up fruit off the ground so it doesn't rot. It's definitely one of the most least fun activities I can say I take part in. We love our home and are growing into it quite nicely.
So, if we thought that buying a house wasn't enough of a heart attack, a week or two after we moved in, we got the surprising news that I was pregnant. Now, I was hysterical when I found out. Barely 7 months after we had gotten married and bought our home we had that overwhelming news dropped on us. This definitely was not the way we pictured things. However, god has surely taken care of us. The Monday after we found out my husband received a job promotion and ever since then we have been working our butts off to pay stuff off. During this crazy period we bought our first puppy Ozzy! He sure is a cutie but kind of a crazy psycho. He's so full of energy and life and it's been much harder to deal with him than I thought. I still love him every day though and he's getting SO BIG!!
So, this brings me to my current day..... I am 6 months pregnant and it's been a rocky road. I have been sick or in pain for most of my pregnancy but I'm just starting to feel better. We are having a precious baby girl that we will name Olivia Mikele Simmons. I bought my first outfits for her today and it was such a joyous feeling. She is moving around like a worm in my stomach and I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that one, my body is making a baby, and two, that I am actually going to deliver and have a child. This is the scariest thing in my opinion that can ever happen to a person. I worry everyday about my little girl and it is so weird to think of myself as a mommy. I am however, so ecstatic for it. She will be beautiful :) More to come later... Hopefully!!!

This is awesome, Kirsty. I'm so excited for you guys, and so in awe of how well you are handling being a grown up (which is such a hard task for me, ha ha). I can't believe you waited so long to buy clothes! How fun! I'm praying for you, and I love you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel! Yea, it's been quite the adjustment but it's going to be so worth it when she's here! Thank you so much, love ya!!
