The Growing Tribe

-


By now you're probably wondering why you haven't heard from me in a very long time. I'm honestly not great at doing things on a super scheduled basis for one. With boys, it just seems like I have needed to learn how to roll with how the day turns out and that often means prioritizing my boys over writing a blog. Which is crazy to me, because, a lot of days, I would rather be writing to all of you than doing all the 'boy things'. LOL
Growing Baby #3 has really taken it out of me energy wise too. I have been extra exhausted this pregnancy and I am not sure why. I can't decide if it's because I am older than with the other two or if having two very active boys plays into it. But I honestly have felt like I could sleep 18 hours a day! I'm researching ways to help my body to support this new little life while letting me still have SOME energy. It seems this baby is sucking my energy AND my brains. But I just can't wait to meet him or her. I absolutely love babies and I am so looking forward to getting to know this baby's personality even more! NingXia Red and Master Formula along with Peppermint for digestive support are my best friends so far.
Baby #3 will be here in November 2017 sometime! We have no idea what baby is yet since I am only about 16 weeks along at the time I write this blog post. So, now you all know why I have been a little MIA. I hope to write to you all again soon with more updates on this. And, will this still be the BOY Mom tribe? Or will I entered the uncharted territory of being a GIRL Mom too?! Part of me really wants a girl, and part of me just wants to keep that 'tribe' of boys going. I will let you know sometime in July!

The Boy Mom Life

  Being a boy Mom is never dull! Bugs, dirt, farts, love, sweet hugs, sports, stinky socks… It’s all a part of this unique privilege. For those of us with a girly side, there’s also a bit of gritting our teeth and getting dirty with them. From the dirt to the silly things they say, we CAN laugh and LOVE being their Moms. And we can do our best to teach these boys to be men who love God, love others, and walk humbly with God. It’s a high calling. Because someday, your sweet boy will be a sweet girl’s husband. It’s our profound privilege to teach them now how to respect women, say they are sorry, take responsibility for their own actions, be responsible for their own things, and not make their wives be a second Mom. Wow! What an honor right?!

Day 1- no coffee

 Day 1 - no coffee. I didn’t miss the cozy devotion time with coffee. The dandelion Teechino with a touch of real maple syrup and Almond milk tasted somewhat similar to coffee.   I’m currently enjoying a beautiful headache on a sunny day. 🥴

Welcome Your Twins with a Nursery That Works

So you're having twins. There is so much to think about and, well, as a twin Mom myself, I have realized that there was so much that I wish I had when my twins came along. Today I will focus on the NURSERY. Here are some things I didn't think about and wish I had.  1. If you co-sleep, it will be SO different with twins and your hubby may need to sleep for work the next day. I WISH I had put a bed for ME in the twins' room in case it was a long night along with these little bassinets to keep them safe but close.  Another thing I wished I had was a nursing chair that was a little wider and without wooden handles to bump their heads on. The truth is, nursing twins takes a lot more work to set them up. Something like this would have been a DREAM!   This nursing pillow is something I DID have and I was forever thankful for it.    Other things to think about are that you will need a light for nighttime diaper changes that will not wake both up if one doesn't need ...
