Spring Break, Two Week Wait, and a "What If"

The Thinker: Spring Break Version

Guess who turned 9 months old over spring break?

My baby.

I swear, time goes by faster the older she gets.

We had an amazing time at Great Wolf Lodge, though! My little bubble guppy did great with the water (as usual...we go to the pool a lot). We plan on going back once she's walking. It would probably be even more fun for her to be able to explore the different structures and go down slides. We also watched the animatronic show at the lobby clock tower-- she was afraid in the beginning and dancing to the music by the end! She also loved the person in the wolf mascot suit. I think she thought it was a giant, living stuffed animal. And she loves stuffed animals, so...

Moving on to the second topic of this post: TWW! (For the uninitiated: Two Week Wait)

Charting has been a huge help so far, especially since my cycles are still super long and weird from breastfeeding. This time around, we did the baby dance at all the right times so HOPEFULLY this is our month. No biggie if it's not, though. No sense stressing about it! Currently trying to resist taking a pregnancy test because I know it's way too early for it to show up if I'm pregnant. I had to write "test dates" on my tests so I'm less tempted to just take them as I please (I know, I'm crazy).

I think we'll be done after two kids. I'd love to have three, but I honestly don't know how a) we would be able to afford three kids and b) have enough time to give them individual attention. But that's a decision for later. If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's to take things one step at a time and not to plan too far ahead. Because stuff never works out when you plan too far.

This Month's Chart

Alright, third topic: what can I do with my life if I end up deciding not to finish dental hygiene school? Answer: the only thing I can realistically do (that would generate enough income to support a family) is open a business.

To be honest, I have no freaking clue how to do that. Or if it'll even work. I mean, I'm 21 years old with an associate's degree in nothing and we don't have a whole lot of money. So how am I even supposed to get a business loan? Not to mention, I don't know what to open a business for. I've got a lot of different ideas floating around but none of them seem exactly right for me at this moment. Anyway, it's just a thought. I'll most likely just finish hygiene school. I guess I've got a whole year to think about it before next spring semester starts and I basically commit myself to finishing school. We'll see what happens!
