Big News in the Maddy family!\u00a0 Our family of four is expanding; yes, we will be welcoming Baby #3 into our family in August!\u00a0 Crazy, I know.\u00a0 Especially considering if this baby is two weeks early then we will have three kids under 2!\u00a0 Note I did not say three kids 2 AND under but three kids UNDER 2!\u00a0 Needless to say the girls and our newest arrival will be two years apart.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>So our little bundle of joy came somewhat as a surprise.\u00a0 Let\u2019s just say Justin and I knew we wanted a bigger family but it happened a little early in the \u201cplan\u201d.\u00a0 So our plan of living at my parents for a year more realistically turned into a year and a half, but that\u2019s okay.\u00a0 We definitely want a place of our own but we could use the help especially in a few months when I am bigger and lifting the girls may not be as easy.\u00a0 Plus the truth is we are still undecided on where we want to live so this gives us more time to make that decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/em>As the girls get older and near the \u201cterrible twos\u201d we have on occasion got to witness the a glimpse of what a terrible two temper tantrums may look like.\u00a0\u00a0 Emerson is not a huge fan of getting dressed or changing her diaper and she kicks her legs during the entire process.\u00a0 She also associates a snack with anytime she has a cup and she is prone to fisting her hands and getting very angry.\u00a0 Avery doesn\u2019t have a temper nearly as often as Emerson; however, when she does boy does she get angry.\u00a0 And occasionally she will bite or throw her body around if she gets that angry.\u00a0 During these times Justin and I think what in the heck have we gotten ourselves into?\u00a0 But most times our girls are really well behaved girls and manage to put huge smiles on our faces.\u00a0 Like today Justin got a haircut (his hair was getting long and unruly) and when Justin got home Emerson kept laughing at Justin, pointing to his hair and trying to touch it.\u00a0 The thought of her doing that just cracks me up.\u00a0 And while I was at work today our nanny Ana sent me a picture of Avery playing dress up.\u00a0 She had a pretend frumpy green dress, a scarf tied around her head, a baby doll being carried on her back all the while she was pushing a shopping cart with another baby doll in it.\u00a0 She looked homeless but I couldn\u2019t help but to laugh and smile.\u00a0 So while we sometimes have our holy crap moment at the thought of another kid we really are super excited and overjoyed for the newest Maddy baby.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I am 15 weeks this weekend!\u00a0 The first trimester was rough. Starting about 6 \u00bd weeks I started to feel nauseous and while I started feeling ever so slightly better probably at about 10 weeks, it really wasn\u2019t until about 14 weeks that I started feeling \u201cnormal\u201d.\u00a0 That part was hard because it has been hard taking care of the girls and truly enjoying them when I feel like complete crud myself.\u00a0 Especially considering my first trimester with the girls was really easy.\u00a0 Seriously, there were 2 weeks where I thought maybe I felt nauseous.\u00a0 Looking back I know for certain I was but it was ever so slight that I questioned it!\u00a0 While I know that I was tired during my first pregnancy trimester, I still worked out regularly at my gym; whereas, this time around I spent very little time on the treadmill during the first trimester.\u00a0 Being awake and caring for the girls was enough of a workout for me most days.\u00a0 The good news is that I am finally feeling better.\u00a0 In fact, this week, I have walked on the treadmill 5 times this week, done a few squats, and more importantly have actually enjoyed it!\u00a0 Justin had been doing more than his fair share of responsibilities while I wasn\u2019t feeling well so I am looking forward to getting back to our normal shared routine and responsibilities. Believe me, I\u2019m sure he does as well!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
