Hello!

Hello!
Welcome to my blog. I am Stefanie and I am a mother of 3 and I am currently expecting. I have a boy, David who is almost 13. That's a big age, because it has the word TEEN in it, so he will be a teen. Not the little baby I took home from the hospital, or the toddler that threw the tantrums, or the child that lost his two front teeth and I loved how he sounded missing them. Nope he will automatically be a teen. Which is basically a grown man. Then we have Sophia who will be 10 soon. That's two whole hands! She is the only girl and came into this world with her a head full of crazy hair and even crazier personailty. Then almost a decade later we welcomed Joseph this past February. He is worth the wait. He has a smile that lights up the world and he is just the sweetest little man ever. And if that didn't keep up busy we are expecting another boy in January. I'll pause while you do the math... actually I'll just tell you. They will be 11 months apart. That is correct for about a month a year they will be the same age. The first question I have gotten is "Were you trying?" Or "You do know how babies are made, right?". I won't be answering either but we are happy to be expecting again, although we weren't expecting to be expecting this quickly. Or even at all. But things happen and after the shock wore off we are good to go and super excited! So with two stages of children, and doubling our family in less than 2 years, on top of having a whole squad of other mothers in my corner I am Happily Mothering!

My Firstborn

Today marks my oldest child, David's, birthday. Today marks the day 13 years ago, I became a mother. He is who taught me how much love I was capable of feeling. He is the one who made me a mother and started me on this crazy journey into motherhood. It is crazy how one tiny human being can change you in so many ways and so deeply. And it's not just any birthday although every birthday is a special one but he is thirTEEN. Yes a teen. Like really? David is the one we got to experience all the firsts with. He was first born so every milestone was extra new and exciting, new uncharted territory. Including this one. I never thought he would be a teen, I mean logically yes I knew it would happen, but you never picture that little infant or toddler to ever be a teenager. David is definitely showing signs of being a teen. The boy who once just adored his parents is now suddenly embarrassed by us. He refuses to go anywhere with us that there is a slight chance he could see his fri...

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...

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...
