Hello Blog

Today my boy is three months old. THREE MONTHS OLD. It's taken me three months to start a blog and put my feelings of motherhood on the web. I always knew I would start a mommy blog. I always wanted to document every little thing happenining in my families life. Granted there isn't much going on in our simple life but I wanted to have something to look back on, like a memory book. Also let me say I am NOT a writer, English is my absolute worst subject, and spelling, forget it, thank goodness for spellcheck! So I hope that can be overlooked and anyone who reads this will just find some relateable material aka stories and maybe some funny antidotes. First let me start with my son Tuckers 3 month update. I don't honestly know where to start because since his birth up until now there have been so so many changes! It would almost be impossible to list them all, especially for this scatter brained mom, but I can try. Since bringing Tucker home 3 months ago this boy has changed so much! Take a look:
(From Top to Bottom) 1 month, 2 months, 3 months *it would not let me add his newborn picture...I'll post one another day. I don't want to list all the details for every month but when he was born (40 weeks & 1 day gestation) he weighed 8lbs 1 oz was 20inches long. I can now 3 months later tell you he weighs 14 lbs and is almost 25 inches long. This is my first child and i did not know they grew so fast, i wouldn't have believed anyone if they had told me. I did not know I could love another so much. I want to be with him all the time, even when he's crying his eyes out. I'm not going to lie this has been the hardest and most rewarding 3 months of my life. It has made my marriage stronger, and my life so full and happy, but it has been so so hard. No one could have ever told me about the slept deprivation either, boy oh boy, eventually you learn to be a zombie and accept it. But also I never feel like what I am doing is the right thing, besides loving him to pieces. As a parent you make so many decisions in one single day and as for me, I never feel like it's the right decision. I am constantly second guessing myself and feeling like everything is overwhelming, in a good way. ALL of the problems we do have are good problems thus far. It's a good problem if Tucker will not sleep because WE HAVE A LITTLE BABY BOY and if he needs his mom to hold him all night long, that's what he gets because WE are Blessed enough to be able to Have our Little Boy and he is healthy. :) This little boy has completely stole my heart in a way I never thought possible, so everything that I feel is different in my life (better or more difficult) has made me more happy and scared then i have ever been before. I understand my point started out being an update/introduction but to be clear I never claimed to be a "writer" and I will go ahead and warn you why: because I can not form collective thoughts when writing, they are simply random. Hope that's okay for now. Maybe my skills will develope in the future. So here it is, I hope I can write often but until the next time. Enjoy. -B

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...

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...

Sweet Moments

As I sit here watching the sunrise out the window I think about how my little boy is going to be one year old soon. Things have changed so much in a year. Life has gotten so much more joyful and so much more complicated. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant with my second little boy and all I can think is I need to hold Tucker as much as I can. I'm sure I'm having every thought that goes through a moms mind when she has a second baby so close to the first. This is too soon, I need more time with my first. I'm scared to add another little rambunctious one to the mix. Will they get along? Will they fight more than they get along? What will life be like? So today I'm going to remember the sweet moments I have with Tucker, like putting him to sleep at night. I don't do this often, Josh has gotten into the routine since I have a growing belly which makes it difficult when Tucker is in a wiggle mood. But a few nights ago I put him to sleep, he feel asleep in my arms. I s...
