Pregnancy Troubles and Update

-
  First I would like to say thank you to all of the people that have still been giving me some traffic on this blog although I haven't been very consistent this last month.  Honestly, this pregnancy has not been the best for me. Even this morning I am already worn out and my body feels like it can't handle much. I just feel really lightheaded and extremely tired and I'm not sure exactly why I'm feeling this way. The doctor has told me that it's due to my low blood pressure and although he's a doctor I don't really believe that to be true because my blood pressure has always been low. I've also never had to deal with this before during any pregnancy so I'm not really sure how to handle it especially now with still having to take care of two small children. To be honest, I'm not really sure how some women do this so many times but I know that this one is it for me.  No more after this! The papers to get my tubes tied have already been signed and ev...

Parenting Guilt

-

So I recently saw a post on Facebook this morning that said:

Do any of y'all moms feel bad at the end of the day when your kids are asleep and your just thinking I probably could've done more today? Like I should've played with them more. Or maybe I shouldn't have screamed at them when they didn't listen. Maybe I could've been nicer. I hate that mom guilt feeling.

I don't know about you but I feel this way almost every single day. Sometimes, I feel like I'm not spending this time wisely with them or like I may not be letting them be kids enough, or maybe I let them have a little too much screen time for the day. Thinking about everything of course brings about guilt except I don't think any parent, that is taking care of their child the best that they can, should feel guilty about any of the choices they make. Each child is different so how you parent them will be different and if there is something that you did that didn't like then change it. I know the base of how I would like to parent so that stays the same for me, but I change my tactics from time to time to see how well my children will respond. Parenting is definitely a learn as you go position and we have to remember that. So, what is it that you get parenting guilt from?

Fearful

Beautiful Baby #1 So as I briefly mentioned in my introduction post I am pregnant with my third and I am terrified to go into labor again. When I was in labor the first time it lasted 36 hours which didn't actually frighten me because I didn't know what to expect at the time. I partially feel terrible for saying this, but I don't remember how long I was in labor the second time. I just know that it didn't last as long, it was definitely shorter than 24 hours. What makes me scared now is that I won't be able to have my mother there coaching me through it like she did for me with my other children. My mother was my rock during labor. She stayed with me the entire time. Even when I couldn't sleep she stayed awake with me all night. I appreciate her so much for being there with me. Beautiful Baby #2  It was exactly the support I needed that I believe could have only come from a mother herself. Just thinking about that kind of support and not being able to have it du...

An Old but New New Year

-
 Unfortunately, this New Year's Eve was a lot different than normal because of Covid-19. I usually spend New Year's Eve with my boyfriend's family which is what we did again this year. Of course not as many people came over so it was a smaller crowd but we still did all of the things that we would normally do. Honestly, all that means for the most part is spending time with each other and having fun. We do have two main traditions. The first of course being counting down into the New Year. The second is after the countdown and clinking glasses we make a circle, go around to each person and say what we are thankful for from the last year going into the new. I'm not sure about everyone else but I personally love doing this because and the things that I have accomplished or things that I want to do better. The plan is to carry on this tradition throughout the years so that we continually are appreciative of everything that we have. So, even though 2020 wasn't the great...
