Again, I always feel like I'm apologizing since I've been so off my game in the blogger world recently! Ahahahaha... Not to say I've been lazy, just busy with a lot of other stuff. Mostly geeky things, work, and trying not to throw up in the morning while taking care of my toddler. I've also been busy writing again (fanfics... But not those kinds of fanfics.), catching up on all my geeky shows and animes, and just busy working with a toddler, my job, and a little new being in my belly.
Geeky News
So, being the geeky people we are, JD and I have decided to attend Dragon Con this year! Probably since we more than likely won't be able to go next year, and we've been wanting to go for several years now. Since I'm going to be even more pregnant in the next month (It's going to be September 3rd), I've decided to go with one of my favorite characters but make her pregnant. Haha. JD will go as the guy I've shipped her with ever since the beginning. (For those of you who don't know what shipping means, it means you pair the two together as a couple.) Below is Aqua and Terra, the two Kingdom Hearts characters we want to go as.
I'm planning on carrying around a sign that says, "Terra did it." Ahahahaha... I went to Jo-Ann's (great store by the way!) to bug my sister who works there and see if I can find some stuff for cosplay. So far I have ribbons and a shirt to cut up to make like Aqua's pictured above. It's going to be fun! Now to figure out how to make the keyblades...
Mormon Missionaries
Also, on an interesting side note, we have started making friends and talking with some Mormon missionaries on a weekly basis. We've had a lot of good discussions, and we've asked a lot of tough questions. I know most people just turn them down at the door, but I've enjoyed getting to know these young men and also learning about their faith and the contradictions that lie between Protestant Christianity and Mormonism. We've also made friends with a young man in the local Mormon church who has a family and they are also expecting their second as well! So we're hoping to make new friends with them and get to hang out!
Pregnancy
This time around has been more difficult. I've been much more nauseous this time around when I'm not supposed to be given I'm already in the second semester. Anyone have any recommendations for nausea?? But apparently this child wants to be a trouble maker already. This one also decided to make me worry early on with some spotting. But apparently it's just my cervix getting extra fluids and getting agitated. (sorry if that's TMI...) Also, for those of you who missed it, I wrote on Facebook about how Aayla decided to throw up all her cheerios onto my chest when I got her out of her high chair. I was already nauseous as it was, so I then proceeded to throw up into the trash can (definitely missing some). So together we took our clothes off and got into the shower. It was an interesting bonding experience for the both of us, but definitely not one I'd like to repeat...
I am 15 almost 16 weeks. We'll get to find out what gender our little one will be very soon! We're so excited! JD is so excited even after experiencing Aayla as a newborn, and it warms my heart. He's already thinking of names and what it's going to be like to be a family of four. He always calls me beautiful, especially when I don't feel beautiful or even remotely pretty. It really helps to have him by my side. It feels like with every year that passes in our marriage, we become a better and better team! I'm so excited to see what God will do with our lives as the Davis family!
Aayla
She is now nineteen months old, and chugging along like the chugger she is! She gained a lot of weight real fast, and this little girl loves her carbs and spicy food. She is also very vocal about what she wants. (Go figure.) I'm desperately trying to get her to say please and thank you. I have succeeded once in getting her to say "More please," but she won't say it again. And today she said "Out please," to get out of a box, but we'll see if she'll say it again. She is our independent child. She loves to play with her little people and sing with Elsa and Anna. She has figured out how to get down our stairs without rolling down them, but I can't watch because I'm afraid she's going to fall down them again... Sigh. She loves to play outside, but she doesn't really like to swing. (She's never really liked the swing unfortunately.) Her favorite show right now is Super Why. JD gives it his thumbs up since it's very educational. Ahahahahaha.
She loves soft things and will dig her head into any soft thing she may encounter. It cracks us up. She loves her favorite Frozen pajama shirt with it's silky smooth surface she got from Grandma Robyn. Her favorite place to play right now is her room. For right now, she does not like the stroller, which is unfortunate since it can be hard to walk with her and keep her focused. Haha. She LOVES I mean LOVES animals. They don't necessarily love her back though... But we're planning on taking her to the Yellow River Game Ranch soon so she can pet the animals and go all crazy over them! <3 nbsp="" p="">
Plans Ahead
I'm going to start attending a Bible study at my church this Fall, and I'm so excited! It's been so long, and it's way overdue! I feel like I have some time to breath before the next child enters the world (in five short months!!!!), and I want to make it count! JD and I continue to look ahead and see where God will have us serve. The world just seems to be getting darker and darker, and we want to be that light on top of a hill that cannot be smothered. We want to make our house a happy and joyous home even when things are difficult and we have many trials ahead. Joy is not dependent on happiness, and we can always experience joy through our creator even in the worst circumstances. Life is hard. This journey is difficult. But I want to have joy as I persevere in this adventure called life with my husband and family by my side. Our marriage has not always been smooth sailing, and doubtless we'll see more trials ahead, but I gain more confidence with each year that passes. God will not let us fail. We will hold onto God even when it seems like all hope is lost. This planet is not our home; we're just passing through.
Peace and love to you all! Be a light!
