Changes

Many changes have been taking place in our home that has put blogging on the back burner. I have changed my major which has taken some work along with taking classing online. I think if I keep taking only two classes at a time I might graduate in 2015. (doesn't that seem like forever!) Yet I need to make sure that I can balance my family life along with my personal goals. They come first and two classes seem to be my limit.

Another change is Raquel. Now 4 she is more verbal, exploring, wanting to learn, able to participate in more community activities. We are staying busy and I have been just enjoying her instead of trying to keep up on documenting everything she does and said. (maybe if I earned some bucks from blogging I would more dilligently)

Boman is finishing up the job here in Big Piney, WY. I am thankful for the extra time we spent here as he was supposed to be done last fall. This town is pretty awesome. I will miss many things about this place. Boman leaves the end of this month to Alabama till August/September. He will be rebuilding a plant that was damaged by a tornado.

While Boman leaves to Alabama we have chosen to keep me here because we are pregnant (okay, really I am pregnant). I am 3 months now and we found out pretty much after conception. It has been a tough secret to keep this long. After almost 2 years of trying to get pregnant I decided to bit the bullet and find an OB. As I explained what I felt was going on with my body and my history she went to work. We learned I have an interesting uterus.  I have a bicornuate uterus. (Can come with many complication to little, depends on the women and the exact shape.)Which after losing Audrey, likely due to this condition I am consider high risk and have lots of appointments with specialist,shots, bunch of ultra sound and so forth. Being pregnant itself is tiring and adding this in makes it just exhausting. Yet we have Raquel who I carried full term. She needed help being delivered which is not abnormal for my uterus shape and she also had a turned foot and torticolis which we treated with physical therapy and a helmet. This occurred because my uterus is split and does not grow as large as a "normal" pear shape uterus.  We know that it can be done, God willing.
I pray often. I feel at peace with whatever the Lord blesses us with. I strive to give this baby the best life experience it can have even if it is only in my womb. I strive to be wholesome in thought and action (I am not close to perfect in this, key word is I am striving) Try to consume good foods. (This is a challenge when you feel sick all the time. Striving)  and I am even finally "working" out. I approach this pregnancy different than I did with Audrey. I am less naive to how short a child life can be.

So we are praying to go full term. Which mean our family will add baby Lapp number three around  Oct 30th!
