During this whole quarantine time, life has been crazy, right? Many people have had to stay home and not work for an unknown period of time. Life has been hectic here, too. With my being pregnant and being in school at the same time – now THAT has been crazy. Since being at the end of the pregnancy and trying to get my classes done before he comes since the term ends after we are to have the baby, has been extremely stressful. It was fine in the beginning of the pregnancy and everything, but with trying to get ready for his arrival and getting the house ready for him, trying to keep the house clean, and food prepared for the the hubby and our daughter, and trying to keep up with everything else going on, and everything, life has just been….hectic!
One of my classes has been extremely stressful this term, but hopefully I will get through it and still pass. I am passing all of my classes now, I just need to keep passing them! To be honest, I probably shouldn’t even be typing this out right now, and should be working on my classes, especially the one that is stressing me out. I literally have about two and a half weeks to get four weeks of classes done. I am a little ahead, but I still need to work on that one class especially because of how much it is stressing me out and we all know that stress is not good for the baby.
This whole pregnancy has been rough. I was sick for the first half, then it finally started to ease up, and it was a ton better. I have still had pains, but not being sick. Although sometimes I would rather be sick than have the pains that I’ve been having. With my first pregnancy, I was hardly sick. I was sick for three weeks around Christmas and that was it. This one has been way different in the sickness and stress department. But we are almost to the end of it. I love feeling him move, which is literally every day from the first time I could feel him. Literally! But I am ready for him to be on the outside!
Our little boy is going to be crazy! He has moved literally EVERY day! From the second I wake up, he starts moving and when I go to bed, he still moves! Which I love knowing that he is still there and is still doing okay, every day, but it’s still crazy that he has moved every day like he has! Ana did not move nearly this much! I guess he knows that I stress and worry a lot, and he knew this would be a hard pregnancy, so he thought he would move every day so that would be one less thing that I worry about! 😛
This year has not been what I thought it would be. I know all of us could probably say that about 2020. But it has been a lot more stressful than I thought it would be. I have been trying to get better with trying to keep the house clean, but when you have a two year old, that is kind of a difficult feat. But it still doesn’t hurt to try, right?! There is a difference between a messy house and a dirty house. Because even though there may be toys everywhere, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t clean. I feel like I clean the house just so that Ana can throw her toys everywhere! Which she does! And that is okay! That is what kids do! And we have another one, who I am sure will do that exact same thing! I just need to work on not worrying about it making the house a “mess”, or at least looking like a mess. It just means that kids live here! 🙂
I had my first maternity session this past week! I wanted to have at least one professional maternity/family session! Since after this one, we aren’t planning on having anymore unless we adopt later on. But anyway, we went to a lake, and it was great! Our little girl LOVES the water, so it was hard to keep her away! We got some fun ones in the water! My husband was busy chasing her almost the entire time! But we got so many good ones! And I wanted to share a few of them with you all!
Motherhood has taught me so much. It has taught me some of my limits, it has taught me that no matter what, everything will be okay. I may feel like I am failing as a mother but we are not failing, we are just learning as we go. It has shown me more about myself and shown me some areas in which I need to grow, which is not a bad thing. We all have areas in our life that we need to grow and improve on! We just can’t be afraid of being wrong, because we are not always right. We make mistakes, we are human. That’s life.
Life may be hectic right now (or always), but that does not mean that it is over. We just need to keep getting back up and not give up! We are not alone!
