Life Lately

• I am 25 weeks pregnant!!!!  Only 14 more if I make it to my delivery date (5/30)--I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope that he/she would come a little sooner (not too soon of course!)!  I still feel wonderful for the most part-a little heartburn/reflux, aching legs in the middle of the night (ok so this is pretty annoying), etc but it's not anything I can't handle!
• Braxton is wonderful!  This little boy brings so much joy to our lives!  He is a growing boy and the last time we took him to the dr he weighed almost 27 lbs!  We go back in March for his 15 month check up--he turns 15 months next week, kind of, haha..  He does not ever have a birthday in February because he was born on the 30th so sometime next week we will start considering him a 15 month old.  
• EDIT (I am just being honest): I started this post Sunday and between then and now I have had a major break down.  Yesterday was a day of feeling like a defeated mommy.  I had all of these great plans to finally get some maternity pants so I could stop wearing this horribly uncomfortable belly band but Braxton had other plans for us.  He had plans to scream and throw a full fledge fit every time I tried to put him in the car seat, plans to scream when I put him in the cart at the store, and plans to scream the entire time we were in Destination Maternity.  I felt like I could not do anything right and on top of that I hadn't even made it to the grocery store for the week or to Papa Murphys to pick up the pizza that we planned on having for dinner last night.  Oh man, I know I was totally having a pity party, but I was exhausted and feeling so defeated.  Needless to say I cried all the way home from the mall, still did not have any dinner, still without any maternity pants that fit, and still no groceries for the week and let's not get started on my hair issue and the fact that no matter what I use, do, or the way I style it my new hair growth (still growing back from losing it after Braxton)will NOT lay down--it sticks straight up ALL the time.  I am so thankful for my husband who immediately took Brax and headed to Papa Murphys then home to drop off the pizza then straight to the grocery store which gave me time to just sit at home in silence, alone, and even order some maternity pants online (I got a GREAT deal on them too!!) and let's not forget that he picked me up a straightner while he was out too (my thinking was that I could straighten these hairs down but after trying it this morning it failed also).  By the time they got home I had the pizza cooked and was ready to eat and play for the rest of the evening.  I promise my days are not like this but yesterday was just one of those days.  So glad today is a new day and although I am squeezed in my pre-pregnancy pants with an uncomfortable belly band and my hair is still sticking up I am much better!!!

• The link above is a blog I found the other day about having two kids under two.  More about the topic to come but I thought that it was a wonderful post and just what I needed to read the other day. 
• Blessings for a wonderful Tuesday!!!
