Mother of Two.....

The hardest thing that anyone will conquer in life!

All the hype of being pregnant and Zeke being so excited about having a baby sister has now gone by the waste side.  

Don't get me wrong, I am so glad I'm not pregnant and Zeke is still just as excited to be a big brother to Zoie. BUT trying to play and entertain a 2 year old and feed, change and tend to a newborn all while pumping is nearly impossible!!!!!  2 year old need child interaction and mama needs a break. Thankfully, things are starting to fall into place with Brandon back at work and Zeke playing with his friends at daycare. Thank God!!!!!!!!!! 

Some things I've learned that may help future parents to two: 

Toddlers need their schedule to remain the same! 

Leaving the house in under an hour is almost impossible! 

Perched bottles in the car seat are a life saver (and help Zeke from yelling his ears hurt)!!!

I wouldn't change this crazy thing we call life for the world, but it will definitely take some getting used to and lots of team work.

Here comes....

Peter cotton tail..... Or the Easter Bunny! If you can't tell from this picture Zoie doesn't exactly love the Easter Bunny....yet! It took Zeke until he was 2 to really warm up to him, but we still have to convince him a little!  Easter is always a fun holiday for our family. My mom and dad host at their pool house and my sister, her family, and our family all get together for fun, food, water, egg hunts, egg coloring, easter baskets and so much more.  Such a great time had by all and the picture of my dad with all his grandkids is just epic!

Baby Zoie and Mama's Baby Shower

This weekend was just fabulous! My mom threw an amazing and all out baby shower for this already spoiled baby girl in my belly!  When we first thought about the theme of the shower, we thought it would only be fitting to go along with the room theme which is very light pastel colors inspired by a couple vintage Barbie pictures I found (more on that later). After much deliberation, we decided to go with a more bold vintage Barbie theme with the colors being black, pink and white with a lot of Barbie silhouettes.  After a million trips to Target, Home Goods, Ikea, Etsy, Tai Pan, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby we had a nice stock pile to start the decorating and planning.  My mom decided to pretty much redecorate her house from floor to ceiling starting with drapery.  She switched out her current drapes for some black and white striped fabric. You would not believe how great the fabric looked without even being sewed!!!! They looked like they belonged.  She also changed...

How is it even possible?

My baby girl is going to be ONE in a month!!!!!! Ahhhhh. I haven't been in as much awe as I am with the turn of 11 months. The turn calls for crazy days with  a walking baby, lots of party planning, transitions, but always a ton of fun while keeping this mama on her toes!  Yes, like I said, Zoie has officially started walking.  Baby walking is seriously so funny to watch. It's like they waddle and have no concept of bending either their knees or ankles. When she gets super excited she starts to run and it's so cute!   We are starting to transition her to whole milk. I have a feeling it will be rough since we discovered early on that she was protein and soy sensitive, but here goes nothing....  This little girl first of ours is getting into EVERYTHING and learning so much. I just love watching her grow, love on her brother and daddy, and just be so full of fun and laughter!
