Quinton Reed 3 & 4 Month Update

Quinton Reed 3 & 4 Month Update

Month 3 of Quinton! He is SO SMILEY! And also so happy. Except during the hours of 6-9pm he is a bear. Month 3 he definitely peaked in the “purple crying” and there were many nights I was overwhelmed by it all.  It was impossible to care for the other 2, I couldn’t set him down, I had to play white noise, he wouldn’t sleep. It was hard! Other than those nights, he started to become more…

Quinton Reed 2 Month Update

Quinton Reed 2 Month Update

2 months and FINALLY BABY SMILES!! Q  is now intentionally smiling at me and it melts my little momma heart.  At his appointment he weighed I want to say around 12lbs? I can’t find his sheet nor do I remember! Not only do I still hold him all day, he hates being put down too! It’s fine, his head is still perfectly round from it so no harm, no foul. His sister is still obsessed and wants to…

Quinton Reed 1 Month Update

Quinton Reed 1 Month Update

1 month FLEW by. Not only because having 3 kids is busy, but also because we had a lot going on! Q was a week old on Haydens 3rd birthday, Trent was gone a few weekends, we started our basement addition, Hayden started soccer! Basically for the first month of his life I cried tears of joy and sadness because he is my last baby and I just love him so much. I truly do LOVE the newborn stage. The…

Labor and Delivery: Quinton Reed

I’M BACK! After a 4 month hiatus, or basically just adjusting to life with 3 kids, starting my job again, I was finally able to carve out a sliver of time in my day to write! I figured, why not start with my labor and delivery of Q?! Since I did this with my other 2, why not the 3rd! And I have never even looked at a baby book, my blogs and monthly updates will serve as their childhood baby…

DIY Spring and Summer Wreath

Every year I go back and forth… Do I spend money on a wreath? Well I can’t find one I like, can I keep this up all year? Do I really need this? Since I made a Christmas wreath, I figured I would try my hand at making a Spring/Summer wreath! Hayden and I loaded up in the van and made our way to Michaels, going in basically blind with a few ideas in mind, but also tons of distractions, because,…

Bedside Nursery Organization

I want to know… How long do you keep your new babe in your room?  I’ve heard 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year… We do the first 6 months and that first night in their big crib, all on their own, I am a HOT MESS!!  Another milestone that I am never ready for that 1st year of life. This being the 3rd baby we have run out of rooms, so our project for the spring is to add another, but until…

Baby Sleep Aids: Worth It?

I never thought about “baby sleep aids” until I saw someone on Instagram talk about how they choose not to use a sound machine because it creates dependency on it? I never correlated this as a sleep aid or a soother, like you would a binky! There is actually research out there that suggests sound machines helps babies, young children AND adults fall asleep quicker and have better sleep…

Quarantined and Pregnant: Finding Support During Isolation

Quarantined and pregnant…with 2 toddlers, 2 dogs, 5 chickens, and a husband. For 5 weeks Trent and the kids will have been home, along with myself off and on because I am able to go to work again.  To say that we are all just a liiiiitle sick of seeing each other’s face is the understatement. It is also REALLY stressful how quickly the weeks can add up and keep adding up.  When I first found…

36 Week Pregnancy Update: The Countdown is ON!

This has been the fastest, yet somehow slowest pregnancy ever.  I take that back, Haydens was super fast because she came early, Beckett’s was super slow because he was a summer baby and this one I’ve been so sick and tired all while dealing with 2 toddlers that it made it seem fast… Does my logic make sense? Anyway, here we are, a few weeks from the big day and I cannot believe I made it…

Must Have's for Your Hospital Bag

Must Have’s for Your Hospital Bag

How do I have 3-4 weeks left? I’m not ready! With Hayden coming out of nowhere, I just threw whatever in my bag, which was fine I just packed a lot more than I needed! With Beckett I made a list and packed what I could, but at least I had a list so if he were to come early I would have something to reference. This baby, I will have a list ready so when the time comes I am ready to just throw and…

Hiding Disordered Eating Through "Health and Wellness"

Hiding Disordered Eating Through “Health and Wellness”

You may be wondering where exactly I am going to take this post, quite frankly I didn’t phrase it this way until last year after I had heard it a few times and really put it into perspective. I realized I had been doing this for years and actually this is how my “health and wellness” journey started. And when looking at any diet/fitness/health influencer, program, trend majority of them preach…

2021 Reset and Refocus: How I'm Coping with My Lows

2021 Reset and Refocus: How I’m Coping with My Lows

The beginning of a whole new year! I swear time just keeps going quicker and quicker… Each month I set my intentions, each week my goals, and at the end/beginning of the year I do a reflection. How did I grow and learn this past year? What went well? What was hard and how did I cope? I take a look back at 2020 and years past not to tear myself down, but rather to see the good, the not so good,…

Indoor Winter Activities To Do With Your Kids

‘Tis the season for snow and cold! Although, I do suggest bundling your kids up and taking them outside and for walks and play as much as possible, that still is only a small portion of the day compared to summer months. With a bit of trouble-shooting I was able to find some indoor activities that, at least for my kiddos, lasted longer than 10 minutes of their attention span! WIN! Now, over…

30 Week Pregnancy Update

OOOOOF. If that is how I could sum up the past few weeks, it would be that…ooof. I always say, “I can’t wait to have a belly!” but my belly is never cute and small, it goes from 0-100 in a matter of weeks! Then I’m just uncomfortable and feel like I could burst at any moment. My fundal height is measuring 3-4 weeks ahead, which may mean nothing or something! I have another growth scan around…
