Baby Bumping


Happy Weekend!
It is so funny how every pregnancy and every child is so different from another. I know there are some old wives tales to gender and pregnancy but having both a girl and at this point I think im on my 3rd or 4th boy, yes 3rd boy, I feel like gender didn't have much to do with it. I felt the same exact way with one pregnancy than I did when I was pregnant with Sophia only to find out I am having a boy. Last pregnancy I was sick and nauseous and just never felt good. This one I don't even feel pregnant but I am just grumpy all the time. I'm still super happy I'm just feisty. Luckily my co-workers, family and friends understand it and plus when I get grumpy they don't take me too seriously. Kind of like a Chihuahua trying to be a German Shepard, it's cute it's trying but what is it really going to do.

Pregnancy is one of those things I know what is going on and know all the medical details but it still boggles my mind. Like right now there is a little baby boy growing inside me. And then he will come out (no need to go into detail on how and where and all that) and he is like a real baby that will grow into a little boy then a teenager and then a man. It just is one of those things that amazes me. Its like I grow people. I can't grow a garden but I can grow people. And having just done it and having a baby on the outside while it is going on inside makes it all more amazing. Knowing that this time next year, Joe will have his little brother doing all the things he is doing now, that he will be out and about and eating solids and trying to crawl is just mind blowing.

It still seems surreal I am pregnant again sometimes. I think because I just don't have the time to really let it sink in. I don't have any time to think about it. With Joe I knew down to the minute how far along I was and what fruit he was the size of. With this one I have a guesstimate on how far along I am and usually I'm within a few weeks of being right. And the date they give you is an estimate and so when it's time it will happen and I will have the baby regardless of if I know if the baby is the size of a watermelon or a pumpkin.

Enjoy your weekend!

Goodbye summer... Hello school days!

This is the calm before the storm. This is the night before we are back to routines, homework, projects, school lunches, book fairs, fundraisers... it's the night before the first day of school. I was so excited to have school end last year. I worked part time so I'd have 2 extra days during the week with the kids over the summer. The excitement lasted for like a week. I am pretty sure David and Sophia woke up and had a meeting making sure that they would fight over the silliest things that woukd snowball into crying and yelling. They made sure that whatever we tried to do would be ruined by the constant tattling on each other, fighting over who would sit where and who would push the buttons. Let me just remind you because it does seem as if I am talking about toddlers but no my friends, they are 13 and almost 10. I think when puberty comes around they regress into toddlers again only to get upset and saddened over the same silly things that once bothered them as 2yr olds...

Mom life

Hello!      So being pregnant with my 4th child and having a 7 month old at home and working full time I get people asking how I do it. Like it's an option? I just do it. If I didn't do it all then who would? Does anyone have little fairies that I don't know about? Lunches need to be made, homework needs to get done, diapers changed and bottles warmed. If I don't go food shopping or school shopping then my kids would go hungry and naked. There are times when I don't think I can do it. Especially when this lil guy is out in the world needing me just as much if not more than my other three. If I am at my max with washing, cleaning, bathing, feeding, taking each from place to place and back again now how will I do it? And just like always I will power through. Fueled by caffeine, sense of humor and the love of my children. That's what it's all about. There will be bad days I'm sure. I will feel like a failure or inadequate. I will cry. Also a side n...

6 months already!?

Hello! So something happened today. My little baby boy that I feel like just came home from the hospital is 6 months old. I'm not sure if our life is just crazier or because I'm already cooking the next one or what but this has gone by so very quickly. Joseph keeps us busy and on our toes. I feel like he came home already rolling over and wanting to just always be on the move. He is army crawling although he always starts out with good intentions on his knees. He loves sweet potatoes and bananas the most but overall is a great eater. He loves teething biscuits and just anything in his mouth. He has become very drooly so it's that waiting game where for what seems like months you think your child is getting a tooth. With my older two it felt like they came out teething only to wait months upon months of blaming everything on them teething to actually maybe it wasn't them teething. His smile lights up the room and I dare anyone not to smile back. David and Sophia ad...
