2013

Finally getting around to blogging about 2013. Better late than never right?

January:
Mike and I celebrated 8 years of being together.

February:
Mike changed jobs and we celebrated 7 years of being married.

March:
My dad went in for a double bypass but ended up getting a triple bypass. I saw him shortly after surgery which I don't know if it was a good idea since I had a horrible panic/anxiety attack. My legs went numb, I couldnt stop shaking and breathing became gasping for air. I was able to get my breathing back to normal shortly. Never want to have one of those again.

We switched Kristoffer to a booster too. He was getting too big for his 5 point harness seat. I don't know what was more terrifying for me, switching him to forward facing at 18 months or putting him in a booster seat at 4 1/2.

April:
My lab puppy Mollie made it to her first birthday. At times I didn't know if she would make it.

I hit my first weight loss goal of 30lbs!

May:
May 29th Mike's Grandpa passed away at 90. Alan Jackson's song "Small town southern man" reminds me of him so much. I'm glad Kristoffer and I were able to go to Arkansas the previous Thanksgiving which turned out to be his last. I'm glad I put on my big girl pants and flew by myself with Kristoffer to Arkansas then drove the 3 hours to Mike's Aunt's house where his Grandpa was staying. I had never been to that state so it was a bit nerve racking but worth it.
May 31st I found out I was 5 weeks pregnant with Erik.

June/July:
Nothing really happened these months.

August:
Finally let everyone in on our great news of us expecting another baby.
Bought my 2006 Corolla

September:
Kristoffer started Pre-K.
Found out Kristoffer was right about getting a brother.
Kristoffer turned 5!

October:
Kristoffer actually was into Halloween. Spent over an hour walking around.

November:
I had my baby shower.

December:
I turned 27
We got beautiful new windows for our house. Never thought I would be so happy/excited/giddy over new windows.
Drove in the snow for the first time.
Mike turned 31
Kristoffer got everything he wanted for Christmas. Which I'm glad since it was his last one as an only child.


Mike and I have been getting along so much better this year. I guess the 7 year itch didn't apply to us. This pregnancy has been a lot harder on me physically, mentally and emotionally. I have worries about going from 1 to 2 kids. I'm glad Kristoffer got out of his anger phase. I have been working on relaxing more and not be super mom/wife. 2013 was actually a decent year for us.
