Cruisin' right along...

I'm feeling pretty good about things lately. You can probably tell that by my lack of posting as of late. I passed two out of three tests that I have to take this semester and the other one I am taking for the second time tonight and I am hoping I pass. I only failed by 4 points last time so I am hoping that I have retained the first 51 points and that I can pull out the extra four that I need to pass. After that I just have one math project to do and I am done until July. Woot woot! I also have to sign up to take the Liberal Arts and Sciences test in July. I am not good with those kids of tests so I will have to study pretty well for that. I'm just hoping that I can find a babysitter for that day because it is a Saturday in the middle of July and both my husband and I have to take the test. Wish me luck on that front!

In other news, we finally have our health insurance in place as of the first of this month so we are going to go ahead and start trying this month for a new addition to the family. After all the doubts and fears that I had before, I am feeling much better about the whole thing and my husband made me realize that we will all adjust and it will be fine. My daughter will at least two and a half before her sibling is born so she will probably be more self sufficient and welcoming to a new family member. I do worry more about things that can go wrong with the pregnancy than I did with my first baby for some reason. Maybe because I have to make sure I can still take care of her and I also realize how lucky I got with her. I feel like having more and more children is like playing that game show "Press Your Luck" when you just want to say "no whammy, no whammy, no whammy". I am just hoping for another healthy, happy pregnancy and birth and of course a healthy child. After two I am done so I am just hoping everything goes smoothly and I can enjoy being pregnant since it will be my last time doing it.

We're going to get my daughter's photos done by a photographer that I went to college with in a couple weeks. We're going to a beautiful garden to have them done which is coincidentally where my parent's wedding photos were shot. I can't believe (and I feel terrible) that the first professional photos I am having done of my amazingly cute daughter is when she'll be 21 months old. I don't know what took me so long! I really wish I would have had some pregnancy shots done and then newborn shots at least. I just did not want to go to a crowded sears or penny's or somewhere else like that and have pictures done that I could do better myself. I also never got her picture taken with Santa for the past two Christmases either. Am I a horrible mom? I've taken enough pictures of her myself to fill a truck but I'm just now getting around to the professional ones. Ah well, at least she is more fun and interactive now anyway so the photos should be especially cute. She won't just be a lump on the floor. :-)

Well, I guess I should get in a little extra study time before my test. Wish me luck, I could use it!
