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 stood up with him and he wraps his arms around my neck and starts to run him fingers through my hair while simultaneously giving me a hug and gently leans his head back with his paci in his mouth and sleeps soundly. I will never forget. Those moments make all the not so easy moments disappear.

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 ...

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...
