Emotional Overload

Have you had an emotional overload day while pregnant? I think it is something that I have as a pregnancy side effect. I don't get morning sickness bad. I have never had heart burn but emotional overload days, they just suck!


This morning was the worst one yet and I think that it wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have to deal with my mom and her attitude this morning. 


When I get these emotional days I just feel like crying. I can barely function and just want to sit and cry about everything. It normally starts right after I wake up, whether it be from a nap or over night. The only cure is to lay back down and get more sleep.


Like I said, today was the worst one yet and I felt horrible because I couldn't just curl up on the couch and rest like I have in the past. With Rex it's hard to actually get a nap and really feel better quickly but today I had to do something. I had him pick out a movie and I went and laid in bed. I felt like a horrible mom but we have his hematologist follow up appointment from his surgery that I had to get better. 


He did great. It took about 1.5 hours of laying down to help me feel better. He watched his movie and then went in his room to play. He came in once to my room and checked on me and it was so cute. I'm glad that we have the lay out we do because I was able to feel somewhat comfortable laying in bed while Rex played in the rooms around me. Before it would have been another floor and it just wouldn't have worked. 


I feel better, I still have a little headache but it's not overwhelming me and making me want to cry. I got a shower and I'm needing to finish getting ready and lunch made so we can head out to the doctor. 


M was great too. I called him crying because I didn't know what to do or how to feel. He just told me to go lay down and get some rest and let him know how I felt after I got some rest. And he called my dad who is working close to home to let him know I wasn't feeling well so if he had a chance or if I really needed help he would be prepared to come home. He's such a great hubby when I need him to be!


Does anyone else have these crazy emotional overload days or is this just something that I go through?

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
