28 Week Update

Tater Tot Update 

This kiddo is growing so fast! I'm officially just as heavy as I was at 36 weeks with Jellybean. *Gasp* *Cry* *Freak Out!* I was talking to my Commander's wife and she said she gained TWICE as much with her second. My Flight Chief said his ex-wife looked like a house with their second. I'm trying to keep the panic and freaking out at bay....I've taken up spin classes...I'm hopefully going to keep this third trimester wait skyrocketing thing at bay because if I remember correctly, that's when people really pack on the pounds! 

You'd think that running after one year old and working long hours would be enough. Fortunately, I'm extremely fashion motivated and there are way too many pairs of designer jeans and adorable dresses and shoes in my closet that are begging me to put them on again. For anyone out there on Pinterest with me, sorry but I'm going to be spamming you all with tons of fall outfits to motivate myself to get back to that pre-Jellybean weight! In the mean time, I'm going to indulge in a DQ blizzard every now and then. 

The heartburn is ridiculous. I think it was just as bad with Jellybean but I can't really remember. Fortunately, Matt has a ton of Tums and those are helping considerably. 

At the end of the day, I'm super tired and super achy! Long work days and running after a one year old is may not be keeping the weight gain at bay; however, it is working wonders on making me so tired! The constant bending over after Jellybean is definitely catching up with me, but I'm determined to take advantage of his only child status while I can! He's just way too cute and sweet and silly. I don't want to be too tired to not see the incredible personality that's developing right before my eyes. 

Tater tot? Well he's getting more and more active every single day. Kicking me and jabbing at me and making his presence known. Is this a preview into the type of kid he will be? Not one to stand in the shadows and a fighter? I'm ok with that! I want to raise strong active and very enthusiastic boys. I have the silly Jellybean and I can't wait to see what adjective comes before Tater Tot.

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
