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...

Life During Covid-19

-

 Honestly, going through covid and being a stay at home mom hasn't been the easiest for me. For the most part it has obviously consisted of sitting in the house. With a lot of things being closed these days it's hard to even figure out what I'm going to do with my kids (Myles and Milanna) from day to day. Many days the kids would just run around and play with their toys, watch t.v. or try do both at the same time. Then there were the days where they wouldn't relax and would be all over me which if you can't tell is not what I like. On the warm/hot days I would of course take them outside to burn some of that energy off. Sadly though once again because of covid-19 the parks were closed and at the time we didn't have very much yard space so there was only so much they could do out there. 

Thankfully, we moved mid summer. The house we moved to has way more back yard space and has a gate so the kids won't be going up the driveway and into the street. Of course since it's colder now with it being winter, I haven't been taking the kids out as much. Although now, due to their amazing Mimi (grandmother), they have their very own swing set that came with a slide and a seesaw.
The kids honestly love it! Also thanks to a few of their other relatives Myles and Milanna now have bikes, skateboards, and scooters. So now they are really set to play outside. 

This really helps me cut down on my stress because as I said before I can take the kids outside and let them burn off some of that steam. Not that I want my children to be zombies, I just don't want them to have to be stuck inside all day and to be able to be somewhat normal kids during these times. Daycare also hasn't really been an option these days. First reason is because I'm home these days anyway and the second reason is obviously because of covid. So I have been teaching my children myself. This way when I do allow them to attend daycare/school again they are either up to speed with the rest of the kids or ahead of them. 


It's been extremely hard to come up with new activities to do with Myles and Milanna. Covid has really put a damper on a lot of activities and places to go. What are some activities that you do with your children during these times?

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...
