I did a lot!
I'm always reading blogs where mamas delineate all the things they accomplished that day and wonder how on earth they do it. But today, I was one of those mamas. I was just on my game ;)
So, I'm going to brag on my doings today and see if they still look like a lot on paper.
First off, I got me & Sophia fed, ready and out of the house by 9am. We went to the chiropractor where we both got adjusted. From there, we went to gymboree and played.
Then, we came home, had lunch, I did the dishes, played some more, vacuumed the living room, boiled the pacis, read Sophia some books, got a load of laundry started, sorted all of Sophia's old clothes for what could be worn by a boy (cause we're pretty sure this is a boy) and by size and planned dinner. Around that time, I put Sophia down for her nap.
While she slept, I ate some more (preggo appetite), watched the news, caught up on emails, read a bit, & got the mail.
After she woke up, I fed her again, made bran muffins, emptied all the trashes, put the laundry in the dryer, took Sophia on a walk, took the trash can to the curb, and made dinner. Of course, dispersed amongst these things are the usual diaper & clothing changes and general clean ups of Sophia's hands & face :)
Then Shahin got home, I set the table and served dinner while he hung out with Sophia. Then we ate, I cleaned up dinner, started the dishwasher, got Sophia's nighttime milk and we headed upstairs. I folded the laundry and Shahin gave Sophie her bath. Then we played a bit more. Finally, bedtime for Miss S. Got myself cleaned up and now I'm just chillin', but my back sure hurts...
So, there you have it. A day in my life where I did all the "stuff" I wanted & needed to do. Though admittedly, if I could've somehow fit in prenatal yoga too, that would've been cool.

Ahoy Mates!
Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged, but I'm still here. 12+ weeks pregnant with baby #2 and emerging from 3 months of nausea & exhausted hell. Sophia is 1 now and sadly, in the last month has gotten sick twice after never having been sick in her life. She's ok though and I think we're all a bit tougher for the wear.
Shahin was off from work last week and we used the time to do a bunch of work in our house that needed to be done. There's more to do, but we certainly made some headway. However, because of this we missed out on our usual summer beach vacation, so now I'm getting the itch to go somewhere. Perhaps over Labor day weekend. It'll have to be baby friendly and close by so we can drive. I'm thinking Savannah or maybe someplace in the mountains...? Suggestions?

Happy Mother's Day!
Being a mom is, by far, the hardest thing I've ever done. Today started off really rough and by the time our M-day celebration was about to start with my own mother & mother-in-law, I felt sick to my stomach from anxiety and worry about Sophia refusing to sleep and everything being chaotic and my apparent inability to just "get on top" of my life these days.
But, after some time and a bit of encouragement from my mamas and lots of thoughtfulness and love from my hubby, and lastly, Sophia finally sleeping for awhile - I'm feeling better.
So, the journey continues and hopefullly each day I'll become one tiny iota more patient and more confident until one day I start to feel like maybe I'm an ok mama after all. I sure do love my girl, I can say that. She's pretty much the best thing I've ever seen and I hope she knows that.
Happy Mother's Day Mamas, enjoy your day, cause goodness knows it's a REAL job ;)
