25 going on 40

By
Okay Okay there is cinnamon chocolate chip banana bread in the oven. The apartment smells glorious right now all thanks to my rockstar self. I'm so glad I finally just sucked it up and made something of those dying bananas. Something that's going to rock my fluffy world.

Guess what - it's 25 weeks! And no, I don't have a belly picture for you.

Cause guess what. I come home and the first thing off is my bra. And then I just give up and pick my feet up. They feel so heavy after walking up and down the baby isles. I found a Baby Depot on the way home today. Here's to the next best thing . . .

A $70 diaper bag for $35. 
I could have peed my pants. (seriously, all it would take is for me to sneeze)
And that's how exciting my life gets these days.
It wasn't my #1 pick, but it was #2 and it turns out the price factor trumps.

My pregnancy:

"Mr Smith is dying because I am not feeding him"

"I have gone all day without a bra on. Wrong / very right"

"You can come clean up your pile of clothes." - Mr Smith
"But I just want to sit here and stare at this baby stuff" - Mrs Smith

"Is this the smallest size D you have seen?" - Mrs Smith
"I wouldn't know" - cashier at Target
"Yeah, me neither, this might be the only chance I can own a D" - Mrs Smith

"I know what can curb this bad taste - fruit snacks. Toss me some?" - Mrs Smith
10 minutes later...
"Ugh now my stomach hurts. I'm blaming it on you." to Mr Smith

There is a Plan for That

By
  Perhaps I'm ready to begin again, again. I struggle to add more words to the universe & I feel the same with photos. I let two of my passions die, both rather abruptly. My posts used to write themselves, I felt so guided in what God needed me to say. But this past year, my words have been removed. I moved from this blog over to Instagram as a better place to connect, but then everything became a distraction, and even the good distractions soon became too overwhelming. I can't possibly do every craft or recipe I've saved at this point. Unfortunately, I became painfully aware of my addictive attachment to my algorithm & lost much of my peace & productivity because of it. Satan knew, but I was too slow to recognize complacency & emptiness disguised as creative options & worldly debates. "The days are gone that you can be a quiet and comfortable Christian." I am definitely not raising quiet Christians, but perhaps we are still trying to be too co...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

By
Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We Remember... All the Time We... Spent Together

By
My 1-1 days are shortly coming to an end with my oldest who decided to have more time with me and her youngest sibling this past year & I'll forever be grateful for that. I'm never ready for them to grow up and give most their time & attention to everyone else.  Again, we are excited for another phase & this time she gets to be the big kid coming back with more rest & confidence to wrap up her middle school years going part-time for 8th grade. Will busy work burn out still be a concern? Will "learning" in a noisy & crude environment still be a concern? Will losing more of her childhood still be a concern? Yes, yes and yes. However, she knows how to choose good friends, she knows how to work hard, and she knows she enjoys structure & peer competition coming from outside the home. I don't know if she'll push herself to participate more in sports, or find new opportunities elsewhere, but that's the blessings of this life - there are al...
