Adventures in Mommyhood

Hey guys! It’s been a while. I really do have the intention of blogging every day every month but apparently that’s just not going to happen. I try.. I swear.

Anyway, I have some exciting news: we’re expecting baby #2!

This isn’t brand new news (I am almost 19 weeks), but we haven’t really “announced” it. I kinda mentioned it on Instagram which is lame, I know. No official Facebook announcement yet (also lame, but ya gotta do it). The hubs wants to wait until we have an ultrasound pictures of the babe which will be 1 week from today! Yes, we are finding out the sex. I can’t wait 20 more weeks..I wanna know now!

 

That’s pretty much a terrible comparison, but yes, I am showing a little bit! I have to find my little chalkboard it’s somewhere in the garage…ugh sounds like a project.

Anyway, I’m feeling pretty good for the most part. This pregnancy has been a little different in that I’m way moodier (lucky for my husband and child…and everyone else who comes in contact with me).

I’ve had a lot more ups and downs: one minute I feel great, the next I’m crying on the phone to my husband because my neck hurts and Brooke keeps slapping me in the face. I’m actually laughing now reading that-but that really happened…earlier today actually.

I really don’t want to be a crazy mother who doesn’t appreciate the things she has and/or isn’t grateful for each day. I recognize hormones and probably exhaustion (thanks to Brookie poo) have something to do with this, but I still don’t like it.

I’ve always been a happy person so feeling unhappy, angry, emotional, etc. makes me really uncomfortable and sad. So, I’ve been trying to change my outlook. I’ve been taking more yoga, reading, even been to acupuncture.

By the way, “snowga” is fun for like, 5 minutes, then it’s just cold.

I just downloaded this book to hopefully help me find some peace and calm:

Gettin’ my Zen on…I’ll let you know how that turns out :).

(I love Seinfeld anything…serenity now, insanity later…)

Anyway, some days are better than others. Which I guess is just life. I try to stop my internal bitching and take a look at my daughter who is amazing and perfect in every way.

 

 

She could play outside all day long, which I love. Summer is going to be a blast with this one.

 

It’s nice to blog again….I have a new workout for you guys I’ll post tomorrow. I tried it today I think it’s pretty killer!

Have a great day! Hopefully you’re all staying warm..spring will be here sooo soon I can feel it (Arizona, California, and Florida, this does not apply to you since it is always spring there..boo).
