crazy pregnant lady

I find it hard to put into words everything that's going through my mind at 37 weeks and 6 days pregnant. I know that toward the end of most women's pregnancies they nest and clean and take care of house to prepare for baby, although I feel like I'm doing that, I also feel like I'm freaking out a little. As you know I have a 1 year old at home and now I'm freaking out about schedules. First let me say, I don't spend a lot of time at home, especially not as much time as I want. We are always visiting family or going out. In my ideal world I would be home more and cook more homemade meals. To me the key to eating healthy is cooking at home. So anyhow I have been freaking out about schedules because I fully believe in scheduling my time and I would LOVE to schedule my sons time, such as naps. BUT since we're not home (I work 4 days a week) as much that's pretty much impossible. So I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to stay sane with 2 little ones. If we had Tucker on a nap schedule it would be much easier to put the new baby on one as well that way they could nap together and I could get some "me" time or get some housework done while they nap. We could start to put Tuck on a nap schedule now but I don't feel like I could really add that to my plate. I would also love to get him out of our bed and back into his crib but I don't see that happening either, I am zapped of most of my energy to add new tasks to my life, keeping the house up is enough for me right now. Maybe this will all work its self out, but in the mean time I keep thinking of all the time I won't have and all the exhaustion that in ensue. Scare me. I remember how tired I was with just 1 baby, add a toddler in the mix and I will likely go mad if I can't figure some kind of schedule out. There is one light that is making me feel better, my husband will be home with me so maybe there is hope. Now if I could get him to get on board with the schedule deal we'd have something. Also I'm a bit impatient and really wish baby #2 was here already, I hate not knowing what it's going to be like and I really want to meet this little guy and see what he looks like! Until my next post, which I hope is sooner rather than later. Thanks for reading.

Motherhood Right Now

I wanted to start a new update on the blog called: Motherhood right now. It will be an update on parenting and what it looks like with my two little ones at the particular age and season of life we are all in. So lets getting started by saying Tuck is practically 21 months and Grant is practically 8 months old. At the moment motherhood could be easier. I have two mama's boys and tend to choose their mom over anyone else. Which could not be more sweet. For instance after teaching my workout class last night I got home and my littlest calmed right down and was happy and my oldest sat in my lap and gave me 100 kisses. On the other hand Grant cried for 45 minutes while I was gone, which breaks my heart and bothers me to know he misses me so much when I'm at work, but I also know its good for him to be with his grandparents and it's good for me to work. I would love to be with my boys 24/7 but I have to work and work is good for me, it keeps my mind busy and I get to be s...

Self Control

I was having a conversation with my mom yesterday about eating and self control. I can't tell you how many times I have racked my brain for motivation and simple logic on how to better control myself around food. I feel like if you have self control you don't have to be on a diet all you need to do is eat what you want just don't eat so much of it and you've got the whole being healthy thing figured out. Of course it wouldn't hurt to add some good in, that has to be said. BUT I can't seem to figure out how to control my eating when it comes to sitting down and eating supper, I overeat every sinlge time. I have two kids so sitting down to eat isn't as interesting as it used to be. When I would cook meals before I would typically slave for about an hour and by the time I sat down I would eat a small amount then be too tired to eat anymore. Weird I know. Funny thing is when you spend the time cooking a meal eating it is not as interesting as eating something...

Nap-time

I'm sitting here during nap time trying to do a million different things. I have this small window of time to myself that i'm torn between getting house work done and having some quiet time. There's so much to do in a day that most days i wish there was a few more hours, or rather I had more energy to stay up later and get stuff done! So here I am with what I expect to be an hour at the most and i'm frazzled because I have so much to do and so little time. As you can tell I've decided to sit down and write a blog post and just get the thoughts I have in my head out. Empty my brain and stop thinking about all the things that need to be done and just enjoy the fact that both kids are napping and my husband just surprised me by coming home early and going to get us some lunch. What is life right now? It's a constant stage of change and chaos. It's these little moments during nap time that I sometimes get to process these chaotic moments and recharge. Thanks k...
