Apollo. Kai.
“He is as bright as the sun, and as deep as the ocean.”

I missed a couple of days, but I’m here now. 

We had our last ultrasound yesterday to check on the growth of the baby before birth to make sure everything is good to go. Its all waiting time now. We were able to get a proper confirmation (even with the not 100%) of the sex of the baby.

Yes, arriving this March (aaaah, two months away), we are welcoming ‘Cassiopeia (Cassi-o-pe-ia) Reine’! 🙂
In case you still don’t know if thats a boy or girl..IT’S A GIRL!

We are so excited to be welcoming another bundle of joy into our family.

Although it’s been super crazy with being super pregnant, and keeping up with everything else with the kids.. Its a blessing for us to be receiving another baby to help grow our family, and have more fun. 

Life is crazy good like that.

One of my resolutions this year, is to give myself time. Time to do, whatever. It is so important for moms to give themselves time. Not just to shower, sip on hot coffee, or to comb their hair. Moms need time to breathe, enjoy the moment for themselves, reflect on themselves, their life with kids, as a wife, as a person. It is crucial to the sanity, and abilities of moms to have that in order to keep loving in the way the people in their life require from them. So please, take care of yourself, too!

Hanging out with this one at Starbucks by our place. It’s almost 1pm, and I had hoped I’d find my “me” time happening earlier today. J, had nothing planned for the day, except rounds of Black Ops, so I had taken the opportunity to spend some time writing (Journal, Blogs, Book). I was up at 4:30 this morning, and I had checked the weather for today, along with the time Starbucks opened. They opened at 6am, but I had obviously taken all the time in the world to get everyone else figured out before I headed out. 

I made breakfast for the kids, and J this morning before I decided to head out. Arty is due for a nap shortly, which should make it easy for J, to have some “me” time while aK, and I are out hanging out on our technologies?! 

Even at seven and a half months, I still get blown away that I’m pregnant. But its becoming more real, the harder time I have with trying to keep up with Arty who just turned one. But its definitely exciting to be meeting this little bundle soon.

Say too much, but none of it says anything

I don’t know if this is true of all Taurus’ signs, but apparently taurus’ tend to isolate themselves.

I relate to this. I’m not sure if thats due to the way my lifestyle is at the moment, but I find so much truth to that.

When Apollo was born, it was like a hermit was born of me. I didn’t want to be around people. I didn’t want to take Apollo out, afraid of sicknesses, and germs. I hated that other family members, wanted to be selfish about him too–he is MY son. 

J, and I never went out. We didn’t go out with our friends. We didn’t go on dates anymore, and if we did, we went out as a family. I don’t think it was that we didn’t want to go out with our friends because, they visited. I think it was more, we were uncertain if that was an acceptable thing to do even after you have kids. We assume, or at least I did, that your time, becomes dedicated to that little human you made. Everything surrounds his world, and not the other way around. 

Five and a half years later, Artemis came to be. Still we find ourselves, just, US. So much has drifted, and not just time. Friends, people have come, and gone. Even the ones I was so certain would stick it out have selfishly passed. Not everyone can tolerate friends with children, at least not all single people.

Perhaps, it isn’t that I’ve chosen to isolate myself, or that my life changing lifestyle is the reason. Perhaps, I’m just not accepting of people coming, and going. Perhaps, I just don’t want to keep losing people, and having to keep going through the same motion, the same emotion. I’m really not big on the feels. As much as I can share my thoughts through words, it’s as much feelings as I can express.

I’m a romantic, like that. 

TIME, definitely opens up truth in your life- about all aspects, really.

Resolution 1.3

This year I said, I would take the time to dress-up, and put some make-up on every morning even if im not heading out to anything important. Well, I this this article sums-up every ‘busy’ moms out there. Im talking about moms who are actually dedicated to being moms, and then some. Because lets be honest, we all know that one mom, who only uses the title because she does have children after all, but is actually far from being ‘A MOM’. 😒
