Where have I been? You say. Chasing two toddlers day after day!
Ok I'm done rhyming, ha ha! Seriously though, I have been so busy raising kids, this blog is just not my top priority, which is a shame because I'd really like to get into it more. I love writing and I've forgotten that. I've forgotten many things about myself. All there seems room in my brain for is centered around children. I read so many parenting articles, constantly worrying if I'm doing good enough, it's a little overwhelming. I try so hard to be a good mother, a better one every day. I often forget to be a regular person, a good partner, a good friend. Once the whirlwind of the day settles down I feel as though there isn't much time left for me. Which is taking it's toll. I get grumpy and frustrated easily, I get exhausted, but the kind that sleep wont cure. Only a good dose of mommy time-out will fix! I very much need to take more time to do things I enjoy. So, here I am! Prattling on to you interwebs!
I suppose I should start off with an update. Since the last time I was here was a year ago!
Allorah is two years old! Ahh! I keep asking myself where did my baby go?! She is just so smart! She seems a lot older than two, she is a lot bigger than two, too! She is wearing a 4T and is as big as her almost three year old cousin! She is amazingly sweet as well. So polite, and minds SO well. She is a girly girl, she loves to dress up and wear tutus, her favorite color is pink. She loves to color and watch the movie Frozen. She loves music; singing and dancing. She adores her big brother. Just an absolute blessing to my heart and our lives.
Jordan will be 4 at the end of July! He is so grown up now it makes my heart hurt. He is such a headstrong, courageous, sweet, and funny little man. He loves Thomas the Train, he always has, but its turned into an obsession really ha ha. He can play trains all day long. He loves cars, and dirt, mud, chasing girls around on the playground... Ha. He will be starting preschool this fall, which is... I have no words. I cannot believe it. We registered him earlier this week and it is all so surreal! How do you do it? Just let your baby go and enter the world? I know I'm going to cry. Not even because I will be 9 months pregnant by then either!
This is Jordan in a nut shell.
My silly guy.
Yep, we are going to have another baby! I am 25 weeks along, due September 9th, a week before my 30th birthday! It seems fitting I would squeeze 3 kids into a 5 year time frame. I got pregnant with Jordan not long after I turned 25. This will most likely be the last one. She is kicking right now. Jordan keeps asking if the baby popped out yet ha ha! Allorah lifts my shirt every time I mention the baby in my tummy. Like she will be able to see it. I think they will both do pretty well. After we all settle into a new routine. That is really the hardest part. Jordan is already a fantastic big brother so I expect he will continue to be. I can foresee some jealousy on Allorah's part though. Since we are having another girl!
I am pretty excited, although it really didn't matter to me what the sex of the baby was since I have one of each already. I still love girly things though, so we will have to see if she will be a girly girl too!
Well I suppose that is really all for now. I'll try and think of something creative to post, since yearly updates are kind of lame ha ha!
