Well, that's me this week, and there's still a long week ahead.
**I do want to warn everyone this a ranting post a little bit but I've promised to be genuine in this blog and today is not sunshine and rainbows so I'm sharing it with you!**
As I've mentioned in other posts I'm over 6 months pregnant with baby girl number 3.
Which, for anyone who's curious, means she is about the length of a scallion and according to Babycenter.com, she's 1 and 2/3 pounds.

I cannot believe the exhaustion I've been dealing with. The constant mood swings, especially in the first and beginning of second trimester, nausea is nothing new this pregnancy, but the exhaustion is unbelievable. My eyes feel like their constantly heavy and I just want to sleep all the time.
I've had thyroid issues in the past and I just knew that had to be what the problem was.
For any of you that have dealt with thyroid issues you know the kind of tired, it's a different tired than typical mommy tired, you feel completely drained no matter what you're doing or how much sleep you get.
Ever feel like a doctor or medical professional isn't listening to you?
Yeah that's been happening to me lately too. It's especially hard when you've moved and have to find a new doctor, the new doctor sometimes thinks they can do things differently and it'll be a better outcome.
Long story short, someone finally listened to me and ran a full thyroid panel and SURE ENOUGH my thyroid is super low! Ugh, seriously so frustrating, it's not hard to order a blood draw to just make sure and I could've been feeling better months ago.
I say this as a medical professional myself, it's frustrating!
Please remember, while I do believe there are GREAT doctors out there and I still believe there are doctors who truly care about their patients, you are your own best advocate.
If you know something is not right keep trying, keep talking, keep researching until your heard.
Anyways, because of all this I have 3 doctors appointments this week, 2 for myself 1 for my girls.
On top of the already hectic schedule of getting B to school on time, making playdates, get B picked up on time, get B's homework done, this week I get B's costume ready for a fundraiser her school is having Friday, and oh yeah I forgot I'm already feeling too tired to want anything to do with cleaning and cooking when I'm not busy so at only Tuesday I've already lost just about all motivation.
Here's a sneak peak of B's costume for Friday she got to chose a literary character from a children's book and chose Cindy Lou Who :) how cute is she?! This is a very trial run and I can't wait to see how it comes together Friday!!
Let's top the crazy, only Tuesday, week off with my 21 month old refusing to nap this week, this little girl is so strong willed she's purposely getting her leg stuck in the rails of the crib thinking that will get her out of nap...and it has, twice now! So I guess she's figured out how to work our system. Today, I got her leg unstuck left her to go back to sleep and I caught her forcing her leg in the rails again!
I love my husband, he's a wonderful man a great father and provider for our family, but I did say this was a ranting post so... I very kindly asked him to convert K's bed to a toddler bed over the weekend, I wanted the girls to move into the same room because the both of them have been in a terrible habit of waking up to get into mommy and daddy's bed at night. I'm pretty sure I mentioned earlier this post I'M TIRED! kids waking up at night trying to sleep with feet in my already sore back is just not cutting it. Well guess what didn't get done this weekend? Yup, as you can see in the picture below it's still a crib!
So night one of them in the same room begins tonight, I temporarily took B's mattress off her bed and lay it on the floor next to K's crib. They've been asleep for 2.5 hours now so we will see how the rest of the night goes....
Here's K fighting her nap earlier... and proof it's still a crib ;)
As I'm writing this post I'm reminded, a lady in my bible study suggested I always think of at least one good thing that happened every day before ending an especially stressful or tiring day.
One thing, B's school pictures finally came in, I've been looking forward to receiving those for about a month now. She looks so grown up, it's crazy! This momma's heart feels proud of her sweet girl but also a little sad that it's going so quickly.
B's official Kinder picture!
Another great thing is my girls got along so well today, their giggles just make my heart explode with love. I love when they play, believe it or not they actually do fight which I think is so weird because my 21 month old doesn't say much but I guess she doesn't really have to because she gets her point across with her blood curdling screams! silly girls. K figured out how to spray a squirt bottle today and the girls took turns spraying each other and laughed so much they couldn't breathe!
Those are the moments that I wish I could just replay over and over again.
my silly girls playing together
Ok, that lady from bible study was so right, I feel so much better thinking on the good things of the day! I guess I will end it on that note now.
Thank you for all the readers so far, please subscribe, I figured out how to add a subscribe button to the top of the blog ;)
