Whine Session

By
So for some exciting news, my back hurts and my . . . pelvic area? . . . make even sitting & then standing difficult these days. But I'm not the first one. 

I think maybe I'll get used to the pregnant walk, give me a few weeks and I'll be able to stand up and walk straight without obvious "she's pregnant" stares. Actually, no, because by that time I'll still have a huge gut that screams "I'm pregnant, stare, hold the door, stare, and get me snacks"

But who knew your stuff starts loosening so soon. I seriously feel like it could all fall out any second. Don't be like Mr Smith and start talking about pre-term labor and I'll start crying. True story. 

Tangent warning - But not as much as I cried when they killed off Lexie in the Grey's Anatomy season finale! I'm a little late on catching up with the previous season. Lexie & McSteamy die (or failed to re-sign their contracts)?!? OVER IT. Could care less about season 9 now.

And back to the whining over real-life:

The back pain is unrelated to pregnancy, I've decided. TELL ME SOMETHING THAT'S NOT RELATED. my back pain. because it's my right, middle & upper back. I'm purchasing a jacknobber  soon so that Mr Smith's fingers don't give up so easily. Sore tendon? I don't know. But it's chronic and hurts like a crocked back, which I might have. (I might as well order something baby too, tell me what I should buy next off my list. Mr Smith loves this game)



Don't worry baby girl I'm so excited for you to come into my life!! But the closer it gets and the more my body changes the more absolutely petrified I become. And between sinuses and wacked-out hormones, I can easily take a sniffle of emotion and turn it into a rainstorm.

Sigh. The sounds of a pregnant woman. 
*breathing loudly because her nose is clogged*

I really am lucky. I'm just excited I've made it to 27 weeks.

Also, WHO in their right mind keeps pinning all those half naked women pictures on pinterest that "motivate" you to lose weight and do this 5 step workout every day? I'm more interested in this:


it has fruit in it.

    Lol! My crotch hurt so bad when I was pregnant and it only got worse for me. I guess it was my pelvic area but whenever JR asked me what hurt I was like, "my crotch! I feel like I just rode a horse for days!"

      Hahaha yep! And no one ever mentions this either. I may have expected it like the month of or something . . . any way - explaining symptoms to the husbands...always fun =) Right now it's only bad after sitting down for awhile.

To Live is to Change

I love change. I love variety. I love mixing things up just because I can. It's helpful, but it's kind of a double edged sword.  I'm terrible at consistency, even though Clifton Strengthfinder told me that was my #5 strength (I think they meant something closer to wanting things fair & equitable which isn't wrong). I not only move furniture in & out of my life, or make sure we don't eat the same thing too often... but I love that I can give my kids a flexible education. God knew this is something I would love & has allowed for it even when it comes with significant sacrifices (as many good things do). This has been a beautiful way to grow me over the last 4 years, and I definitely missed it, but I also started to doubt ever doing it again, which felt odd. I found myself questioning why I wanted to take the harder course. I had a little break with just E & M at home, but now B is back too, so I'm giving up some me time (I was never good at it any ...

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...

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...
