Try as I may, I can never seem to post the month I am writing about before that month is over! Oh well, December First is close enough!
Our little baby girl is 6 MONTHS old, already!! I don't know how this happened. I swear, she was a little baby who couldn't do anything on her own and BAM! Now she is sitting up, entertaining herself and looking to eat "real" food. =) I am truly amazed with how fast she is growing!
We put up our Christmas tree and Emerald adores the lights and all the sparkly things that come with Christmas. Sam and I are excited to start our own traditions with our little family.
Sam started his job at the IRS a few weeks back and everything is going well. He is now working on being promoted in the Army, which will be good for his future profession, so I know he is excited about that.
We are both in school full time and I JUST finished a 10 page paper. I know all college students have to write papers and I know that there are lots of other moms out there who go to school, raise a baby AND work. So I have to think that I don't have it all that bad. I think I would be more motivated if the school was for a purpose other than the check we get that pays me to go. I am researching different Doula training organizations and I think I found the one I am going to go with. There is a seminar to start the training in July, which works out perfect for us because Emerald will be able to be apart from me for more than a few hours for the training.
I am excited about the prospect of this and feel that I am finally on my way to doing something I hope I will love.
We had a good Thanksgiving and most of all I am thankful that Sam is able to be home with us. Although, I can't say I am not a little worried the Army is not going to send him back over as they are sending 30,000 more troops out. All we can do is pray!
I can't believe that Christmas is only 25 days away! Hope everyone is having fun getting into the holiday spirit!

Aw! I need to come see your tree!! So glad that you get to celebrate with Sam and Emerald this year!
What is this about doula training? That sounds cool...
Can't believe Emerald is already 6 mo's old!
I need to see you tree too, Renee!
I am in the process of getting ready to become a doula!! SOOO excited! I'll go to an extensive training for a weekend and then lots of reading and attending births and then I will be certified. I finally feel like I've really found something I am passionate about! So hopefully everything works out and I can be on my way to really doing it.
I can't believe she is 6 months either!!! What happened?? I'm not ready for her not to be a baby anymore. =(
