And Baby Makes...

Four!

We had no satellite for a month – which means no TV, nothing to do but ‘snuggle’ *wink* *wink* (no wonder why in the old ages, sans electricity, families had more children than they could keep track of). We traveled to several fun spots on our road trip, and had an amazing vacation for two additional weeks by the ocean. Upon our return to Hermosillo is when I learned….we’re having another baby! Viva Mexico! Viva Mexico! I guess it’s something in the water? The quesadillas? The coyotas? Whatever it is, we are totally thrilled. And so the fun begins, yet again. Now that Cristian is crawling, climbing and communicating in such a way that constantly makes me want to take a bite out of his cheeks – I am confident that baby #2 will also be a blast. Cristian will be a big brother and I will be a mother of two.
WHAT THE F!#%?

So, with this comes a whole new chapter of ‘change’. We’re moving again. No, not back to Toronto (thank God for that, not sure if I’m ready to come back just yet – that’s a whole other entry I will write about soon.) Rather, we are moving to another house 15 minutes away from where we currently are. It’s a beautiful area surrounded by mountains. The new house is all on one floor – which means chasing Cristian up and down marble steps will be a thing of the past - has a gorgeous pool, a Jacuzzi, a workout room and a billiard room with a big screen TV.
And so the packing has begun! I can’t even begin to tell you the amount of unnecessary junk that has compiled in our house in just over two years.

I’m excited. Although nervous about the change, I know it will be nice.

I feel like I’m a pro by now. I’ve mastered the art of:

- Moving away from home
- Making a whole new group of friends from around the world
- Learning an entire new language
- Raising my first child away from what used to be familiar

….and now, I will be changing homes and carrying my SECOND child – but this time it's all in MY 'familiar' surroundings!

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, and embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
