So I figured a hobby I can do from my rocking chair? BLOGGING!!
December 2015 we got pregnant again!! I was overly excited ( hard to picture, I'm sure ;) and took the test pretty soon.. peed, saw one line (negative) told Erik and moved on. I have always been a heavy sleeper.. but in the days of working and chasing a toddler around I hit the pillow hard!! Erik had a feeling to recheck the test I threw away... he saw a very faint second line (positive) tried waking me to say I think we're pregnant!!! I said, we'll talk about this in the morning LOL! When I woke up I thought what a weird dream, Erik told me we were pregnant :D When Erik woke up, I found out my "dream" was reality!! We were going to have another chatterbox!!!
My pregnancy was TIRING and also really special!! Most likely my last pregnancy, so I really took time to soak it in! Some of my favorite memories are Erik and Bryn chatting to my belly with little Emma in there!!!
These days Bryn is gonna be three in January and Emma is three months, they are precious, opinionated, cuddly, sweet, funny, and my little chatterboxes!! I love this time in life, I try and savor it, capture each moment!! I feel at an advantage, working with patients who have had a near death experience, or who are dying and have limited time here; I have learned some profound truths about life. I almost always hear the same thing, from the women in particular: I wish I would have cleaned less, spent less time thinking about others opinions, done less activities out of social obligation... I wish I would have spent more time listening, playing, and cuddling my kids when they were little. These treasures of wisdom have not been lost on me.
If you see me today, my house is chaos and not clean, I have not been to the latest party nor do I belong to any clubs or groups, my clothes do not match, my hair is not done but I have spent my precious time investing in Erik, Bryn, and Emma. I have loved, listened, played, and laughed with these three. Soaking in this time of life because, I know the days are long but the years are fleeting!!
Much love to anyone who endured these rambles!!
Your OG Chatterbox,
Kel
