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 maternity clothes. Also this is a boy as well and because they will be born in the same season the clothes I had for Joseph will easily be able to be worn by this baby.

20 weeks, that's crazy we are halfway there. That is 140 of the 280ish days a woman is pregnant. However I feel like I've been pregnant for YEARS. which at the end of this pregnant I will have been pregnant for about 19 months of the last 2 years .

I'm not complaining,  I know how lucky and blessed I am to have these children. I always knew I wanted to be a mom. I never was set on what I wanted to be when I grow up but I knew I wanted children. And these few months of pregnancy are well worth the memories I will have with these children.

I am excited about the craziness, bring it on I say! I will survive and embrace the imperfect perfection my life with be. I will make mistakes, I will have mom fails and I'm sure there will be tears from all of us. But I will try my best and I will love these children with all I have. Even after 4 kids I won't have all the answers but I don't think any parents ever does. I think we just wake up in the morning do our best throughout the day and hope our children go to bed at night knowing they are loved.

So we have 20 more weeks to go! And before we know it, it will be time to have this little guy! Thank you for reading my mommy stories. Make sure you keep up with the craziness by following this page as well as following me on Instagram @happilymothering

Until next time...

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...

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...
