In the 2+ years since Olivia was born life has always been changing.
She has lived in 5 different apartments/houses and 3 states (6 moves)
She has experienced living near the coast, right next to mountains, and out in the country.
She's lived in moderate, dry, and humid climates.
She's been there through 3 cars, law school, several jobs.
She has been on so many flights, I've lost count.
She has been admitted to the hospital for VUR and had countless awful check ups for it, and built a resistance to an antibiotic over it, and is on her way to growing out of it.
She's overcome a sensitivity to eggs, deals with an allergy to dairy, and discovered an allergy to amoxicillin.
She has accompanied John and I on many dates, left with family and friends so we could go on dates, and many nights away from daddy and had her first night away from mommy.
Her life is always changing and I think she has gotten used to the fact we never live anywhere more than 8 months.
Through all the changes in her life the one constant is John and I. The three of us together.
A new change is coming and it's probably the biggest one of yet, for her.
When John and I first talked about having children we originally wanted them fairly close together, we wanted between 4-6 kids. Then I got pregnant with Olivia and as many know it was no walk in the park. I had hyperemesis gravidarum and was so so sick. So, our number went down, our spacing grew and both of us wondered if we ever would truly be up for going through it all again and this time with Olivia to take care of on top of it. We talked a lot about adoption.
We finally decided on trying again after John passed the bar (so about a year from now).
Well, as most of us know life happens when your busy making other plans. And in this case life is a new baby coming to our family, just in time for Olivia's third birthday!
