1st trimester (almost) down

Wow Will I really be 12 weeks pregnant on Monday? Yes. I know time is going to fly with this pregnancy because I have my hands full! Tucker is in this new adorable always smiling and KEEPING ME BUSY stage. He loves to hold on to my fingers and have me walk him around. I mean when he whines I'm pretty sure that's all he wants. Although it really hurts my back to bend over and walk around like that, I do it and will always do it because it makes him happy :) Life is already changing now that Tucker is a little more independent and more mobile. He doesn't crawl yet, but he can scoot himself on his belly 360 degrees and grab toys, he is getting better at playing by himself so that gives me a little more time to do laundry and pick up the house a little better. We have started to put him in his high chair while we eat supper at the table and let him try some of the food we're eating, most of the time he enjoys it. Sometimes with his short attention span he hates to be in his highchair, so we put some puffs on the plate and let him make a mess, good thing we have a dog to clean it up.
As tired as I am ALL THE TIME, and as busy as I am ALL THE TIME (the to do list never ends) I am positive I am truly living the dream. Sitting at the dinner table the other night I looked at Josh looking at Tucker and I thought to myself "Life does not get better than this". We have an OB doctors appointment on Wednesday, so excited to see our little bean. That's what he/she looked like at our last ultrasound so that is his/her name for now. lol. Anyhow here's random update for you.
Have a good weekend and a wonderful day

Motherhood Right Now

I've gotten into the habit of getting up 1 hour before my husband and *fingers crossed* two hours before the kids. I'm a morning person and crave that time to sit and think and drink my coffee. I can see out of the kitchen window, where I sit to write my post, the sun is just about to come up. I'm so tired, Grant nursed a lot through the night last night, which he's been doing more frequently, but I feel good that I'm up and getting ready for the day. Motherhood has changed since Easter. Easter day Grant started to crawl forward, I say that because for weeks he would crawl or slide backward but showed no signs of going forward until Easter. He loves to explore and doesn't need to sit in my lap all day. Not that I've gotten anything done, I just love to sit and watch him and Tucker interact. Its bittersweet, my arms feel free, but I'm starting to think I"m more attached than my kids. I miss him sitting in my arms and looking at me most of the day....

If I Could

If I thought I was organized enough to keep one book full of information I might be learning the hard way, a day late and a dollar short kind of thing, I would. I would write down every nugget of information for my boys to learn from. Learn from MY mistakes rather than your own. Do I honestly think they will read it and believe it? Maybe when they're 30. Certainly not when they need to read it and learn more about the world, like age 10. I wish I had known so much more before leaving High School. I got dumped into this world naïve and ignorant and just a tad too "happy go lucky" for my own good. I thought all people were like me, happy, nice and trustworthy. I went to school in a bubble and left trying to believe everyone I met was good and honest. There are also so many financial mistakes I've made and a lot of career mistakes, mind you I wouldn't change a thing. I love where I'm at and how I got here, it makes me exactly who I am. I just wish I had known a ...

Food and My kiddos

I can use the plural version of kids because I am now 32 weeks and feel as though our baby #2 will be here soon!!! Anyways todays post is about feeding Tucker and our new one. First lets acknowledge that Tucker did not breastfeed, he never latched so I pumped and it was really hard so Tucker got 2 weeks of breast milk and then was switched to formula. I'm not judging anyone using formula but I always always wanted my son to have the most natural nutrition, breast milk. Since that did not work out, I'm a little pessimistic about baby #2 breastfeeding. I wish I didn't feel this way but I almost believe it won't happen. I will try my best and try to breast feed but I'm scared the cycle will repeat itself. Hopefully in a month or 2 I will find out my worries are all for nothing. My current struggle is feeding Tucker. I've been pretty LAZY about feeding him healthy food. Lets face it I am pregnant and although I never can say I've really had "cravings...
