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!

I think one of if not the most important things a mother needs is other mothers in their lives. It's like we are our own breed of woman, there are things only other mothers will not only understand but will embrace and not judge you for. You have spit up on your shoulder, a non mother maybe just look at you like you are a hot mess and like you don't wash your clothes. A mother will see you and give you their scarf to cover it up. And sometimes and this just happened to me, a mother has come up to me and wiped the spit up off my back I didn't even know was there. And I didn't even know her that well. But motherhood is like a tribe of just normal women who become like super hero ninjas with special abilities. There is an understanding between us. Mom friends are what is going to get you through motherhood without becoming a flight risk. Whether it's to make you laugh at the circus your life has become, or to listen at the newest thing your child has got stuck in the...

A whole 2 hands! 👋👋

Hello! A decade ago I brought a very special girl into this world. Sophia is 10 today!! From the moment she came into this world, she has had her own set of rules and plans for herself. She has brought so many fun and amazing memories into our lives. She keeps me on my toes and humbles me constantly. She is often a mirror of who I was as a child and am as an adult. Isn't that just so annoying when you get upset with your child for acting just like you? She is my mini me from her crazy hair down to her goofy personality. She came into this world a mere 5lbs 12 oz. And she may of been a little peanut, her personality made up for that. She was feisty and had this little attitude that sometimes I forgot how old she was because she acted far older and wiser than her age. So this year is a whole 2 hands old. 2 digits. Where does the time go? There was a time she was just this little baby who was my koala and would be the happiest in my arms. To be honest she such a peanut still...

We're halfway there!

Hello! 20 weeks down, 20 weeks to go! Man this pregnancy is flying by. It seems like yesterday I shockingly saw those two lines just a few months after having Joseph. After quickly doing the math I realized I would be having another baby before my newborn turned 1. We went from a family of 4 and then less than 2 years later we would be a family of 6!! After the shock wore off I realized this would be my life of four kids, two of which are irish twins. If this baby is born less than 2 weeks before my due date they both could be born in 2017. I have embraced the crazy my life has already become. The sleepless nights that come with having a newborn have been rolled into the sleepless nights of restless legs and having to pee all the time. The tiredness of not sleeping is also the tiredness that comes with early pregnancy. If I'm nauseous that's ok because I didn't really have time to each much anyways. My wardrobe didn't change much because I was still wearing matern...
