Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!

8 years ago I became a Mother, not willingly or desperately trying, actually rather wishing I didn't, at the time.

I've raised my little girl with the help of my parents and she is turning into a beautiful young lady.

She's stubborn, a neat freak, exceptionally smart... alot like her mama! :) jk

There are times that I go home after working all day to pay for the house we live in, the bills that accumulate, the extra clothes/purse that she just has to have, and I don't feel like being a Mom. I would rather lay on the couch, watch "Cougartown" and just chill out.
I don't want to mow the lawn, I don't want to feed the dogs, I don't want to worry about when my check is going to deposit to make sure our house is not foreclosed on.
I don't want to do the extra 3 baskets of laundry because my daughter has to change her outfit three times a day.
I don't want to go to the grocery store because I could live off a jar of peanut butter.
I don't want to drive her over to her friends house because I'm too tired.
I don't want to read to her at night because I'm too lazy.

And, after all these "don't want too's".....

I want to be the best Mother to Bri because she loves me unconditionally.
She can't leave the house in the morning if she's mad at me, she always comes back to give me a hug and apologize.
She can't go to bed at night if she's upset, and always comes out of her room and says, "Mom, we need to talk".
She's my purpose in life. She keeps me on track.
Sometimes, she questions things I do and I have to give her an explanation or she won't stop pestering me.
She's not perfect, by any means, and neither am I.
She gave me a goal, 8 years ago, to create/build the best life I could for us.
At the end of the day, her best interest is on my mind.

Last night, we went "pantie" shopping. They had some skimpy little panties for young girls and we were looking at them. In the end, she picked out the ones with little monkeys and icecream cones on them. She said, panties aren't suppose to look like that Mom! (pointing to the skimpy ones)
I said, that's right honey!
And, I knew I had done something right :)

I love Bri and I'm thankful to be a Mother, even if I wasn't ready at 19.

That's all for now

27 Weeks Pregnancy Update

27 weeks today. Is this the third trimester or not?!? Some websites say it is, some says 28 is. So, I'm not too sure. Weight Gain:  33.3 lbs total. Only half a pound of away from what I gained with Jamyson and I still have 13 weeks left (waaaahhhh.....) I feel huge. I am huge! It's harder to walk and my feet hurt now, lol. Exercise:  I'm still walking but I cut back last week and only did 14.7 miles. I broke the 200 miles for the year for the "run the year 2017"! However, the more I walk, the more I eat and the more weight I gain (eek)! Cravings/Diet:  I've been craving lemon lime gatorade. Weird right?! It's delicious. I've also been getting reece's blasts from Sonic. They are so good! I threw in a cooke dough blizzard from dairy queen. That was delicious and not helping with my weight gain. Morning Sickness: Still no morning sickness but I'm still taking 2 diclegis every night. Sleep:  Didn't nap as much last week. Just didn...

Our Experience with Covid 19

I'm writing to share our experience with Covid-19. With the reopening of the lockdown, many new cases are flooding the world. My husband is the Regional Sales Manager at Century 21 Judge Fite in Rockwall. He has been in real estate for the past seven years. He is an amazing realtor and even better manager. I am very proud of him and I stand behind him no matter what. Saturday July 5th is started feeling ill after a work out. He had recently joined Legends Fit in Rockwall and started a program where he had to lose 25lbs or 6.9% body fat in 6 weeks and he would get a free membership for the year. After 3 weeks and a very strict diet and workout, he had lost close to 20 lbs and 5.3% body fat. He started running a fever Saturday afternoon and felt very fatigued. No real respiratory symptoms and his pulse ox never dropped below 98 percent. His heart rate was double his resting heart rate. He tested on Monday morning and received word Tuesday around 5:30pm that he was pos...

Ashton's Birth Story-VBAC

I started this last pregnancy journey with the goal of finishing my second VBAC. Here's the story (So that I never forget any of my children's birth, I have documented each one's stories)... Around 4pm on Thursday August 1, 2019, I went into the hospital. I was having irregular contractions, dilated to 2 cm and 50% effaced. I was 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant.  Here is a photo: I am almost 6 feet tall and had gained nearly 50 lbs. Most of which I gained in the first and second trimester. I continued to workout this whole pregnancy in hopes that my body would bounce back quicker. Time will tell. So, my doctor came in around 5:30pm and said he was going to do the foley cervical dilation balloon again since that worked with Elizabeth. So, they inserted the foley balloon which is extremely painful because I have a tilted cervix which apparently hides behind my spine. He tried to do it with a tool and ended up having to do it manually with his hands.  Then, I ...
