<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Motherhood has its seriousness and frustration as well as its laughs. That's why we are here. Life is much easier when traveled with companions! So mamas, let's join together in the spirit of motherhood and share our moments together. We want to hear the happy, sad, tough, terrible, hilarious moments that make being a mother the best job in the world!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Welcome to Mommy Moments! We hope you all a week filled with wonderful memories! Let's keep it up by sharing and promoting Mommy Moments and the wonderful community we have here! I have enjoyed getting to know all the new mamas linking up and sharing their lives with us! I can't wait to hear more from you all again this week!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Motherhood has its seriousness and frustration as well as its laughs. That's why we are here. Life is much easier when traveled with companions! So mamas, let's join together in the spirit of motherhood and share our moments together. We want to hear the happy, sad, tough, terrible, hilarious moments that make being a mother the best job in the world!</span><br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">**this is a hard post for me to write, but it's going to be an honest one and one that I feel needs to be written**</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a long time since I've had even a moment to sit down at the computer and type out. Life has run away from me and I'm trying to just keep my head above water. I have never felt so completely alone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll pause here and say that I have an amazing and supportive husband whom I love with all my heart. But things aren't always happy-go-lucky and we have hit a few rough patches along the way. I also have a wonderful family who has stood by my side and helped out wherever they can. I am forever thankful for them and I am blessed to have them in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that being said, I still find myself alone. I'll use that analogy of standing still in a sea of people, you know the one I'm talking about? The one where a single person is just standing there with everyone just moving in blurs around them? That's how I feel. I'm that person just standing there watching everyone move in a fast pace around me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything around me is going extremely fast and I feel like the slug who can barely keep up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel stuck. I feel abandoned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With everyone zooming by, no one seems to take notice of me. This has been going on since getting pregnant with Squish. No one seemed happy for us and no one seemed to want to celebrate with us. I was left alone. I started to really get down about this. No one seemed to care about this new little boy and our growing family. They definitely didn't check up on me to see how I was doing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And honestly, I was struggling. I was exhausted. Barely keeping my head afloat. And I was alone. The repeated message was that nobody cared.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast-forward to Squish arriving. All 9 lbs 10 oz of him. I was hoping for a change. And I did get one. Thanks hormones. But I did get a change. I became even more alone and sequestered. Again, I didn't feel anyone (outside of family) truly cared about how I was doing or how I was feeling and coping.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I soon found myself traveling down that deep dark road. Everything set me off. I cried at a drop of the hat. Sure, I was happy enough. I could smile and there were times of complete happiness, and really I am happy. I'm just alone. I have no support system outside my husband and family and life is hard without a support system. Friends don't exist, and even if they did exist, our schedule is such that I can't even think about going out. But I guess it's just nice to be invited and thought of when planning something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Community is a big part of life and I feel like my community abandoned me when I needed them most. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here I am, writing this and I'm extremely nervous to publish it. This whole alone feeling is awful and it's kind of a downward spiral. Because of all these negative emotions and feelings, I find myself not enjoying the little things going on. It's put a strain on my relationship with my husband. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And what just adds fuel to the fire is dealing with a very difficult baby. I love my little boy, and I once heard a description for a child and it suits him perfectly: he's the happiest unhappy baby on the planet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's hard for me to admit. Admitting that I have a hard baby makes me feel like I am a failure at being a mom. I feel like I'm failing my baby. And because he takes so much attention, I feel like I'm failing at loving on Bug. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here I am with tears in my eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Postpartum depression is real. And it's a struggle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To add to the craziness, things with the hubs's job is once again up in the air. We're very thankful that he has a new parttime job, but the job that brings in the bacon is in transition and we don't know where we're going to be in the next few months. It's hard. And it all just compiles and I find myself wanting to run away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But in the sadness, I know there is Hope. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently saw this quote by Meister Eckhart about beginnings. That's what this is. This is a beginning. Beginnings are scary. I didn't want to change. I don't like change (unless it's to my house, that's fine and I welcome that kind of change), but I feel like a new beginning is what is good for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically, life has been really hard lately so this little blog has fallen by the wayside. I hate that. This is one place I feel like I can have a since of community. It may be weird, but it's true. Thanks to this little blog, I've found some really good friends. I just wish they were closer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's hoping for a little more normalcy in my life (also known as a baby who actually goes to sleep before 1 am and will let me lay him down) and the ability to catch everyone up on the goings on! I mean, tomorrow Squish will be 5 months new so there's a LOT to catch up on!</div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Welcome to Mommy Moments! We hope you all a week filled with wonderful memories! Let's keep it up by sharing and promoting Mommy Moments and the wonderful community we have here! I have enjoyed getting to know all the new mamas linking up and sharing their lives with us! I can't wait to hear more from you all again this week!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Motherhood has its seriousness and frustration as well as its laughs. That's why we are here. Life is much easier when traveled with companions! So mamas, let's join together in the spirit of motherhood and share our moments together. We want to hear the happy, sad, tough, terrible, hilarious moments that make being a mother the best job in the world!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Welcome to Mommy Moments! We hope you all a Merry Christmas week and had a week filled with wonderful memories! Let's keep it up by sharing and promoting Mommy Moments and the wonderful community we have here! I have enjoyed getting to know all the new mamas linking up and sharing their lives with us! I can't wait to hear more from you all again this week!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Motherhood has its seriousness and frustration as well as its laughs. That's why we are here. Life is much easier when traveled with companions! So mamas, let's join together in the spirit of motherhood and share our moments together. We want to hear the happy, sad, tough, terrible, hilarious moments that make being a mother the best job in the world!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My word for 2015. Growth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to see myself grow in all areas of my life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>In my relationships:</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with God - to accomplish this, I'm following the She Reads Truth app in their journey through the Bible. In all my years, I've never read through the Bible! I'm excited to tackle that this year. I'm hoping to update once a month (I'd say once a week, but who are we kidding) on here and post my progress. I'd love for you to join me in this journey and share your progress here with me! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with my husband - the hubs is currently working non-stop and going to school on top of it all, we hardly ever see each other. Plus, with two kids now demanding my attention, it's hard to get any time with just the two of us. I want to grow in serving him. Though we may not see him, I can still serve him. His love language is acts of service. I want to be better at picking up after a long day, putting the dishes away, cooking, all the stuff that I end up looking over after a long hard day of screaming children.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my children - here's to 2015 and spending more time <i>doing </i>with my kids. Jo is at a wonderful of age where she loves to discover new things. I want to explore more with her and show James the world. So here's to more trips to the park and around town!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Jobs:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mom - I love being a mom. It is the best job in the world. But I still feel like I need to grow in this area (no, that doesn't mean that we're adding another little one to the family in 2015). I don't know what that means, but I do feel that tugging to change the way I do things. To not be quick to anger, to be okay with both of my babies making a mess, to smile and laugh more and play more, to put down my phone! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
homemaker - this goes back to showing my love and serving the hubs through acts of service. I'm honestly not the best homemaker. I have my moments, but lately, I've let the things fall through the cracks. Laundry is the bane of my existence. It doesn't help that the washer and dryer is in the deep, dark, scary basement that's hard to get to with Jo wanting to follow me everywhere and James screaming. I'm going to take it one day at a time, but I'm bound and determined to get into a routine with that stinkin' laundry!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Norwex - I'm still in love with this company and I want to share it with the world! The green cleaning and the ease of cleaning is just amazing! I want to spread the world and help people get rid of their chemicals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Health:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
running - I need to get back into shape. Having two babies in less than 2 years did a number on my body. No surprise there. To do this, I want to start running. Knowing myself, I need motivation. And what's more motivating than a trip to Disney?! So here's my public announcement: <i>I'm going to be running the 2016 Disney Princess Half Marathon</i>. I have a year to train and prepare, but I'm stoked. There really is no better motivation for me than Disney. Now I just have to pinch my pennies so I can afford the registration fee.</div>

For Jo's first Christmas, we decided on a present tradition for the kids: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something I want</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something I need</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something to wear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something to read</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They also get an ornament on the day we go and get our Christmas tree, as well as pajamas and a Christmas book on Christmas Eve.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Jo's Christmas it was easy knowing what she may want and we knew what she needed. Her wear and read are things that I always have fun looking for and picking the perfect thing out for her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how Jo's presents broke down:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Want:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Jo <i>loves </i>using our Norwex mop and always has to help us sweep, so it was obvious that getting her a Kids Norwex mop would be the perfect thing. And boy, were we right! She loves her new mop!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Need:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay...so maybe this need was more for my sake than her's, but we desperately needed a place to store her crayons and art supplies.</div>

If you are ever in the market for a new children's book, I can't recommend this one enough! <i>God Made Light</i> is a wonderful book and I find myself with tears in my eyes every time I read this book to my girl. She seems to enjoy it too. But seriously, I LOVE this book!</div>

The mat we had for James was on its last leg due to his big sister sitting on the arches, so it was time to invest in a new one. So far he seems to love it, which is more to say than the last mat.</div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Welcome to Mommy Moments! We hope you all a Merry Christmas week and had a week filled with wonderful memories! Last week we had well over 100 great posts. Woohoo! Let's keep it up by sharing and promoting Mommy Moments and the wonderful community we have here! I have enjoyed getting to know all the new mamas linking up and sharing their lives with us! I can't wait to hear more from you all again this week!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Motherhood has its seriousness and frustration as well as its laughs. That's why we are here. Life is much easier when traveled with companions! So mamas, let's join together in the spirit of motherhood and share our moments together. We want to hear the happy, sad, tough, terrible, hilarious moments that make being a mother the best job in the world!</span><br />

This little girl made me a mommy. She has my stubbornness, adventurous spirit, and love of kitty cats. I love watching her grow up and discover. She's learning more each and every day.</div>

I'll share more pictures once Christmas presents have been given. I don't want to ruin the fun pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life has been rather chaotic as of late. The hubs has started yet another job, so we're trying to settle into routine once again. These two littles aren't the biggest fans of having their schedules altered, and to be honest, their mama isn't either. But we're making it work one day at a time, even if we can't remember what day it is most of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the first time in a very long time that I've been able to get a moment to myself. The boy has finally started going to sleep at a semi-reasonable hour, but the girl has been boycotting. The past week, I've been up close to 1am with one or the other child. It's like they're playing a game called just how little sleep can Mommy last on? They're already conspiring against me! Such silly kiddos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, boy, do I love them!</div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Motherhood has its seriousness and frustration as well as its laughs. That's why we are here. Life is much easier when traveled with companions! So mamas, let's join together in the spirit of motherhood and share our moments together. We want to hear the happy, sad, tough, terrible, hilarious moments that make being a mother the best job in the world!</span><br />

It must be Christmastime.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would be breastfeeding during Christmas. This means no peppermint for me...<br />
or rather very little peppermint. And of course I'd crave all things peppermint when<br />
I can't have any of it. That's the way life works isn't it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well. It's worth it to skip out on the peppermint. I'm happy to be able to<br />
breastfeed my son and I wouldn't trade it for the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course when life gives you a break (ie both babies are sleeping) and you<br />
have time to blog about life, your mind goes blank. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have both babies in bed, a cat in my lap, and <i>the Ultimate Christmas Present</i> on Disney. It's a bit of a throwback. I remember watching this movie when it first came out<br />
<b>14 years ago! </b>Does anybody else remember this movie?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As much as I'd like to write something profound and meaningful, sometimes I just can't. I just want to laugh and ramble. I guess that is what this post is for. To laugh and ramble. Because we all need moments where life is nonsense and that is okay. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I blame it on the lack of sleep.</div>

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, with so much to be thankful for. This time last year, we had just lost our little one and James wasn't even a thought. We were raw with the loss and enjoying the season was very difficult for me. This year was very different. I miss my angel very much, but I also have my rainbow in my hands. I am so blessed by what God has given me.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh the dear pacifier. Binky. Passy. Or "pa" as Jo calls it. </div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jo took to one immediately and still has it at nap time and bedtime (boy, do I dread the day we have to break her of that habit). She loves her pa. And I love it too. It soothes her and calms her when she needs it most. Slowly she's transferring that job over to her beloved beats, but for now her pa does the trick. And when she was an infant, it gave me a moment to rest. She didn't need to nurse to settle. That was okay for me. I needed that as a new mom. It was a chance for me to be able to go and do and not have her strapped to my boob. </div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her brother, Mr. James, is another story. I was very much okay with getting him to take a pacifier. We bought some like his sister's in preparation for him to enjoy them too. And at first we thought he would. He took one when he was two days old. It didn't last long, but I just figured that was because he was still trying to figure things out. So we kept trying to get him to take. Bought different brands. Tried different types. Nothing worked. Each time he put one in his mouth he would gag on it. </div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a new world for me. Jo loved her pa. I was used to that. Now I have a son who, at almost 3 months, still refuses. And it's brutal. When he gets upset, he needs to nurse to settle down. If he gets too worked up, it's back to the boob he goes. Lately, he's upped his game. Now he only naps if he's latched, and to get him to go to sleep at night, he has to first fall asleep on the boob. </div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is his comfort. This also means I don't get much done most days. This means I am his pacifier. </div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some days I soak it up. The extra cuddles. The knowledge that I am his comfort. The fact that he needs me. </div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then there are days where everything is a mess and I just want five minutes to be able to do something without having him latched on. There are days where I just want to get him settled so I can eat in peace. Or just take a shower. Or even go to the bathroom. </div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Days like these are hard. I feel the mommy guilt creeping up. Saying this like, "you should spend more time with Jo" or "why are you thinking these things? Enjoy the time you have. You're a horrible mommy for wanting five minute." The homemaker guilt accompanies it. This says things like "you are a horrible wife because your house is a mess" or "you're just being lazy, you need to do it all." </div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Welcome to Mommy Moments! Last week we had some great new link ups! Let's keep it up by sharing and promoting Mommy Moments and the wonderful community we have here! I have enjoyed getting to know all the new mamas linking up and sharing their lives with us! Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving week! </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Motherhood has its seriousness and frustration as well as its laughs. That's why we are here. Life is much easier when traveled with companions! So mamas, let's join together in the spirit of motherhood and share our moments together. We want to hear the happy, sad, tough, terrible, hilarious moments that make being a mother the best job in the world!</span><br />

Welcome to a new layout, a new theme, a new blog, a new name.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beautiful Family Affairs is now:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rPJqAxjIGfk/VHAqCLfiaTI/AAAAAAAAEM4/Aa9USd89o70/s1600/name.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rPJqAxjIGfk/VHAqCLfiaTI/AAAAAAAAEM4/Aa9USd89o70/s1600/name.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Why the change?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly just wanted this blog to be so much <i>more</i> than it was. Though I loved Beautiful Family Affairs, I wanted to bring more to the blogging world. I felt that I had more to give.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So welcome to Our Family Grace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Where did the name come from</b><b>?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am probably the pickiest person when it comes to making decisions. I agonize over them for days. Weeks. Months even. It's why I am a horrible decision maker. So when it came to a name what I wanted this blog to become, it took me forever to come up with something that fit just right. I wanted a name that was inviting and that told readers right off the bat what this blog was about: "Family Grace." No family is perfect, and it is because we give each other grace that we are able to live in harmony with each other. This blog is about the grace that is given between families.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What's going to change?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Honestly? Not much, though I am planning on "getting real" with y'all. In the midst of photoshop and those picture perfect lives that we see daily through social media, I want this blog to be an outlet for "real life" moms. Moms who aren't perfect, that don't have time to do their hair and make-up just perfectly every day, that stay in their pajamas more days than they wear jeans. I want this place to be a safe-haven. To let moms know that it's okay to have dishes left in the sink or books strewn across the floor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Will there be any new series?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes! Be on the lookout for a couple new series: <i>Messy-life </i>and <i>Because of Grace</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
***</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now this is really just phase one of the changes that this little blog is undergoing. If you have any questions, please email me: ourfamilygrace(at)gmail(dot)com. You can still follow me on instagram (at)<a href="http://instagram.com/_familygrace">_familygrace</a> and on facebook <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ourfamilygrace">www.facebook.com/ourfamilygrace</a></div>

I know I've been absent once again. Life here is still trying to find a new normal.<span id="goog_485985775"></span><span id="goog_485985776"></span> Then my computer goes and decides to break, which is just lovely. It'll turn on every once in a while and I'm hoping to magically get it fixed one of these days. So I'm left using the hubs's computer, which of course doesn't have anything I need on it...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, enough of the rambling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are about to be some changes made to the blog. Changes I'm really excited about and can't wait to share with you! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For now though, I'll leave you with some cute pictures of the kiddos!</div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Welcome to Mommy Moments! Last week we had some great new link ups! Let's keep it up by sharing and promoting Mommy Moments and the wonderful community we have here! I have enjoyed getting to know all the new mamas linking up and sharing their lives with us! I can't wait to hear more from you all again this week!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Motherhood has its seriousness and frustration as well as its laughs. That's why we are here. Life is much easier when traveled with companions! So mamas, let's join together in the spirit of motherhood and share our moments together. We want to hear the happy, sad, tough, terrible, hilarious moments that make being a mother the best job in the world!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Welcome to Mommy Moments! Last week we had some great new link ups! Let's keep it up by sharing and promoting Mommy Moments and the wonderful community we have here! I have enjoyed getting to know all the new mamas linking up and sharing their lives with us! I can't wait to hear more from you all again this week!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Motherhood has its seriousness and frustration as well as its laughs. That's why we are here. Life is much easier when traveled with companions! So mamas, let's join together in the spirit of motherhood and share our moments together. We want to hear the happy, sad, tough, terrible, hilarious moments that make being a mother the best job in the world!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Welcome to Mommy Moments! Last week we had some great new link ups! Let's keep it up by sharing and promoting Mommy Moments and the wonderful community we have here! I have enjoyed getting to know all the new mamas linking up and sharing their lives with us! I can't wait to hear more from you all again this week!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 33px;">Motherhood has its seriousness and frustration as well as its laughs. That's why we are here. Life is much easier when traveled with companions! So mamas, let's join together in the spirit of motherhood and share our moments together. We want to hear the happy, sad, tough, terrible, hilarious moments that make being a mother the best job in the world!</span><br />

I honestly thought our little guy would never come. Sunday, August 31st, I had strong contractions on and off all day. We went and walked the mall as a family of three hoping to hurry things along. They got to the point where I wanted to go and drop Bug off at my parent's house before heading home. I definitely thought the little guy was going to come that night!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By 3am contractions had slowed down enough for me to go to sleep. So our midwife went home in the morning with instructions to walk walk walk with the hopes of things picking up the next day. We called my parents to bring Bug on home and made arrangements to go and walk the corn maze down the street.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went back to waiting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday, we were on our way home from my parent's house and talking on the phone with the hubs. It was the only thing that would keep Bug from crying. I specifically remember him telling her to "be nice and gentle with Mommy tonight." Did she listen? Of course not. But I do credit her with getting labor started.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So before bed that night, Bug decided it would be a good idea to crawl and jump all over me. She loved every minute of it. At the time, I did not. I wanted sweet cuddles with my girl, but those were few and far between.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I put her to bed and tried to get some sleep myself. If I had known what was coming, I doubt I would have slept. Luckily, I was oblivious.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hubs eventually got home around 3 am. I was just starting to wake up with contractions, but nothing too serious. I slept in between them until around 5. That's when I decided to get up and start bouncing on my yoga ball to see where things were going. It wasn't long before I decided to call in the troops. First, I had to tell the hubs what was going on. He admitted to not really understanding what was happening until he heard me say I was going to call our midwife and my mom, the midwife for obvious reasons and my mom to be there when Bug woke up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things started off fast. Contractions were already 3 minutes apart and there wasn't much of a break between them. It wasn't long before I found myself laying in the tub.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is something about water and labor. It felt amazing. I ended up staying in there until it was time to push. At that time, I ended up getting up and crawling into bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The time in between getting in the tub and the bed was very intense though. Contractions hit hard in my left hip and my back. It was awful. They hurt more than anything I could ever describe and centered mainly in my hip. The only thing that felt good was my husband rubbing both locations with black pepper essential oil. Afterwards, we thought I'd be black and blue on my hip from how hard the hubs rubbed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember a few times trying to get out of the tub to try a few more positions that would hopefully alleviate the horrible hip pain. Nothing worked. We tried all fours, sitting, and squatting. Nothing worked, so it was back in the tub for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was amazing how free I was to move and do whatever it was I needed to do. I wasn't limited to one space or one position, I could do whatever felt good at the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eventually it was time for me to push. I remember trying to get into the bed and repeating "I can't" over and over again. It was never about the fact that I couldn't do it, I knew I could...I just didn't think I could move myself from the tub to the bed. But with the help of the hubs and midwife, I made it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At 11:32 my son was born at home. I felt everything. I remember everything. It was amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More than anything I'm extremely proud that not once did I even think about going to the hospital. It wasn't an option. I enjoyed being home way too much. It was so nice to already be in my comfort place. I didn't have anyone poking and prodding me at all hours of the day. There were no bright and annoying lights. The hubs could lay comfortably next to me. When Bug came to meet him, she was comfortable. I loved being home and will definitely have another homebirth whenever we decide to have another baby.</div>
