Baby #2 is on the way!

It has been nearly two months since I last blogged. Life has been busy. I went on a two week vacation to Florida in July, I found out I am pregnant, my husband and I put our house in Studio City on the market, and my husband has been looking for a new job for a month and a half. I have been so busy dealing with life one day at a time that I haven't had time to do the things I should be doing like writing my blog or sifting through that pile of mail on my desk.

I am eight weeks pregnant as of today. And due to my pregnancy, I am going to be better about things like writing my blog. After having my son it took me a year before I felt like I had me back. When I say me, I mean my body, my sanity, my life. The breastfeeding for an entire year and my son's inability to sleep through the night for his first ten months were both contributing factors to my insanity.

Looking into the future with this pregnancy, there are a couple of things I am going to try and do differently. For starters, I am going to try and do some things that are important to me before the new baby arrives. My main goal is to complete some continuing education courses I have been meaning to take. I also want a better plan in place for when the new baby is born. I think I need to do some research on baby nurses. I absolutely hated my life the first couple of weeks after my son was born. It would be nice to be able to have someone on hand that could assist with getting the baby on a schedule. The one thing I have learned from baby #1 is the limitations my husband and I have with waking up throughout the night.
