So last time I posted was in 2015, a lot has happened. Jumping in:
I remember when I was in high school I had this pregnant cat named Tibby and her stomach was like a basketball and I would roll her side to side, which she would meow in discomfort but in my defense it looked funny... and she couldn't do much to me because of her lethargic state. Now, I suppose the universe has finally gotten around to give me payback since that's pretty much how I move around.
SIDE NOTE: Something unfortunate that happened last year: I am no longer the proud owner of a cat, since she was aggressively playful, and we didn't know what to expect from her with a newborn, we decided it would be best if we re-homed her. We gave her up to be readopted but since she was ONLY comfortable around familiar faces, we have no idea if they kept her like they said they would or not. Which it hurts to say, but we are hopeful that she was re-homed because she was family and was a really great companion. Hopefully in the future we get to adopt again when these babies aren't so little and they understand how to properly treat animals.
I'm on my 7th month and this little guy LOVES laying on my spine and using my stomach, diaphragm and hip bones as his personal punching bag. Braxton Hicks contractions have started this month and this week alone my entire family minus my oldest have gotten sinus infections/colds. Lucky them they get to use antibiotics and western medicine to help relieve their symptoms while this preggo is stuck drinking decaffeinated teas with honey and gargle salt water! Crossing fingers I get well before Thanksgiving, I'm looking forward to seeing family and enjoying my cheat day. Which knowing me I will probably be eating small portions and on the look out for healthy options since that's my thing now. Ugh why does food have to be so freakin' good and unhealthy at the same time!
Any who, I want to start blogging again, but make it more frequent because my days consists of changing diapers, feedings and snacks, playing with a one year old, learning sign language for babies, ABC songs, lullabies with the occasional drop off and pick ups. I feel blessed to have everything I have but I'm definitely stressing about two babies under two and not enough adult time since my husband took a second job--thanks to surprise baby number three. So my kid meter is through the roof and I could really use an outlet that can put me within view of adult eyes even virtual eyes. So hopefully I hear from some of you soon!!

In this past year alone: I have been raising not only my 8 year old daughter but my one year old daughter, moved into a home after renting and staying at in-laws for a small chunk of my marriage and currently am pregnant with my third child--a boy! This year alone has definitely been a whirlwind. I joke that I've feel like I have been pregnant for two years which when you think about comfort, this year hasn't been my best.
