Jellybean's First Halloween

This  holiday season is going to be a crazy one. I'm a sucker for FIRSTS…and this was a before I had a kid. Now that Jellybean has blessed my life, my obsession with capturing the first of everything has increased tenfold. It's one of the reasons why I started this blog. To document his firsts in a forum that was easier to keep up with than a baby book. 

I probably put too much effort into how my kiddo dresses. There are so many adorable girl outfits out there, but putting together adorable boy outfits? That requires a little bit more work, quite a bit of digging, and A LOT of Baby Gap. Needless to say, the combination of loving buying Jellybean clothes and documenting firsts, led to one outfit driven week before Halloween. 

I wanted to put him in a different Halloween themed outfit until Friday, when he would wear his costume! A little over the top? Probably, but it's my kid right? And who says the mamas of little girls and cute tutus should get all the fun. It furthers my belief that kiddos are toys for grown ups. 

As far as the costume goes, that was easy! I didn't want to go with the typical baby in a pumpkin or animal suit. I wanted to put my little man in something that actually means…well, something. The creative side of me wanted to make something original, but this other side of me….it said put Jellybean in an astronaut costume! I LOVE NASA. I've been a space nerd for as long as I can remember, so it was pretty easy to ignore the crafty side of me and give into the nerdy side. My little space man was quite the hit at daycare, the squadron trunk or treat, and of course, mom and dad! 


He looks like a little pumpkin burglar. 

Batty for Mommy indeed. 



He looks like a little elf. 


He looks spooked by his shirt. 


He just wouldn't stay still so I could get my pictures! 


My little astronaut loves touching his feet. 



How adorable his this little man!

A Very Sick Holiday

I've been meaning to write this post for a minute or two but kept getting distracted with...life. It's funny- you want to write about life events but more life events happen to prevent you from playing catch up! The holiday season of 2017 was a rough one for the Moran family. It was rough. Seriously rough. Matt's parents came by for Thanksgiving and left with the flu that turned into pneumonia. So that already had me on edge. We live in a small house and it's cramped for our family of 5, add two more adults and it's basically impossible to have any personal space. My children go to daycare, and that place is horrible for sickness. They do what they can with the handwashing, sanitizing, and requiring immunizations but they can't catch every moment a kid touches their mouth then touches a toy. And the rules don't require that kids with runny noses or colds stay out because, well, then they wouldn't have a business right? So the series of events that lead

Losing the baby weight

The lose weight this year resolution might be the most cliché one of all right? Am I really going to be THAT person? #sorrynotsorry ya'll but I am. I had Henry in September and got down to my pre-Henry weight in less than 3 months which was totally awesome. Woohooo, go me! I lost 15lbs in October, 10lbs in November, and 5lbs in December. UGH WHHHHYYYYYYYYYY. Sure, the Holidays probably had something to do with, and also going back to work and not having as much time to go to the gym during the day, and possibly the shorter days meaning less walks/runs because we leave the house for work and it's dark and we get home after work and it's dark. The excuses can go on for days. I could work out more when the kids go to sleep but that would mean that Henry cooperates and goes to sleep when the older two do. And that also would mean that I don't fall asleep with Henry because that's what happens 75% of the time. Unless I have homework to do, in which case, I make Matt wak

The Same Ole Problem

Working Mom Problems  Last night Jellybean woke up crying in his Pack N Play. Naturally, I went to pick him up and was alarmed when his skin felt too warm for comfort. I grabbed his ear thermometer and the panic quickly set over me when his temperature read at 100.7 degrees. Granted, that's not something to be too worried about for a 6 month old. It's just a mild fever right? Except the present scares with babies getting sick all over the country jumped to the forefront of my mind. The new fears that have come into my life since having Jellybean are paralyzing and I struggle with them everyday. Seeing my little one's temperature rise doesn't make that any easier.  That sleepless night, I meticulously watched over him and took his temperature every few hours. In the morning, his temperature dropped to 99 degrees. I had a pretty important planning exercise meeting at work in the afternoon, but figured a morning in bed with mama and then the daycare later in the day
