Waiting for Change

I have become a creature of habit, change it hard for me. When I was younger it was no big deal, from childhood we moved a lot and my life was always changing, but after being married and I got settled I don't want anything to change. It was hard after having a baby, I anticipated that things would change, and change quite often, but to add another to our family. That is another big change. I am so excited and anxious to meet baby #2, but things are moving quite fast. Tucker will be 1 next month and then the following month I will have our second son. Another big change coming to the family is my husbands job. He is waiting, waiting, waiting on the phone call for a start date to his new job/career. It is exciting and he is excited but me I'm in the background thinking EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE!!! Right now we have a good routine watching Tucker. I take care of him Monday through Thursday, Josh and I both work on Fridays so his mom watches him and Josh takes care of him Saturday and Sundays. That will all change. With his new career he will be working crazy hours and who knows when he will be home. This is going to throw us off our game. So here I am worrying about change before it has even hit us. Silly, but it's inevitable and it's just whats on my mind. I'm trying to be positive but life has thrown us some loops since last year and I like to be ready so I don't fall.

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...
