Thing's I've Learned...

I never thought becoming a mother of two would be easy but I knew it would be fun and challenging.

Everyday provides something new and I never know what to expect. As an OCD women, I have to keep in perspective the things that are important and the things that can wait until later. Ok, nothing should wait until later but sometimes I don't have a choice. (cry face)

Somethings I've learned as a mother/wife that I'm sure other people can relate to:

  • Sometimes a vacation is showering with coconut flavored body wash and picturing yourself at the beach.
  • Expensive diapers are nice but cheap ones accomplish the same thing.
  • Huggies wipes provide the most traction. 
  • Prunes work magic on infants. 
  • My crock pot is one of my best friends.
  • The vacuum and hair dryer can always soothe a crying infant. 
  • I have learned to love coupon apps. It provides much excitement at the grocery store. 
  • Raising a teenager is not a challenge, it's a battle. Okay, it's a downright brawl and let the strongest women win!
  • Hearing other people praise your teenager is sometimes the only affirmation that you are doing something right. 
  • Laundry can be stress relieving. 
  • Nobody enjoys lists except me. But, I keep on making them in hopes that someday, someone will read it!
  • Drink lots of water. No one will remind you to do this during the day. In fact, no one probably cares.
  • If the baby's diaper needs to be changed but she's sleeping, let it sit. 
At the end of the day, if these three people are happy and sleeping soundly, life is good. Sometimes, that's all you can work towards! 






































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 ...
