This Pregnancy has Made Me Wimpy!

Yep I'm being wimpy but not in the way that I can't handle the pregnancy or the baby although I know I have times like that too. But in the way that I hate leaving Monkey. Last week I had to leave him twice and you would think that I would like the break since I sometimes complain about being so tired after having him all day (he has a ton of energy and I just don't). Nope! That wouldn't be the case. Instead I freak out about him leaving. I just can't stand him going somewhere or being with someone else. 

This isn't a case of 'staying at home with him' either. We have had date nights where we have my parents babysit or even someone else. I have done night classes at church and had a babysitter. I have had girl nights out and had babysitters and I welcomed them all. Heck, I planned them and arranged for him to have a babysitter and gladly took the time to enjoy myself.

Not now! I can't think of any other reason then the fact that I'm pregnant and it's making me into a big WIMP! You would think that I would enjoy a night out with the hubby and the family at a Rockies game but instead I'm thinking about the fact that Monkey is at home with a babysitter who I adore! She took him to the park, played with him at home, even had him clean up before bed! She's great and Monkey cried the next morning when he woke up and realized she wasn't there to play with him. He obviously didn't mind Mommy being gone for the night. I hated thinking about the fact that someone else was tucking him into bed and that I wasn't there for it. I even have a hard time when Hubby puts him to bed to give me a break. I just want to run in a cuddle with him.

The other time this week we were apart was for the fishing derby. Fun for MonkeyHubbyright? Well Hubby got up early with my dad to head up to Loveland, CO so all the cousins could fish and play together. Yep just more fun for Monkey and Hubby went along so that I could be sleeping in. Instead I got up and helped them get everything out the door. I went outside crawled in the car and was talking to Monkey and helping make sure he was all ready to leave. Hubby standing outside the car kept saying, "Come on Mommy, you know it's only 45 minutes away". Yes, I know that but I'm not going and your taking my baby away! 

Seriously! What is wrong with me! All week long I want to get extra sleep!

WIMP!!!! Right here!!! I actually truly believe that I know that with only 7 1/2 weeks left until my due date that I know my time with Monkey is going to be limited. I know that I'm going to have to share my time with the new baby. I know that my love is going to have to go to two boys instead of just one and I think I'm pretty nervous about how I'm going to do that. How am I suppose to show Monkey that I still love him just as much as I ever have when I now have to show love to Goose too? How do you split that up without one of them missing out on something? Seriously about ready to cry right now! 

I'm curious does anyone else feel this happening to them with there second pregnancy due date coming up? Or have any advice for me from someone that has already gone through it? I could really use some help in knowing how to deal with this. I need to do something because if Goose has any of the health issues that Monkey does I'm going to be away from him for awhile and have many extra things to do than just the normal 'new baby' things.

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...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
