Ask And You Shall Receive

Out of all of the cribs in America, the one I am after has been discontinued! Before Rhylan was born, I purchased a beautiful cherry wood, camel-back crib with the matching dresser. It was pretty pricey, but very high quality. After all, kids tend to have nicer furniture than the parents, right? 

I went back to Babies R Us recently to buy another one, because I want my babies to have matching beds and of course, it has been discontinued. I realize it's been 3 years, but several of the same cribs were still there! 

I got online and spent HOURS trying to locate this crib! I went through every site on every page of Google only to find that it was a lost cause! I'm sure some people probably wouldn't make a big deal out of their kids' furniture matching, but anyone who knows me knows that I can be a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to decor, so I was determined!

I decided to just throw in the towel and come to terms with the fact that I was not going to be able to find this crib. Then out of nowhere, one turned up! A lady in Wentzville has THREE of this crib, because she has a set of twins followed by an infant! She is selling hers to me for half of what I paid for mine and it's immaculate. Her baby has barely slept in it and she has been wanting to change her nursery to white furniture. I definitely feel like it's meant to be! Ask and you shall receive, right?

So this weekend, I will be heading that way to bring it home! Nursery furniture? CHECK! 
Now it's on to stocking the nursery with baby essentials!

Hashi-Huh?

The feeling of being trapped in your own body as it spirals out of control....how many of you have felt that way? I started 2023 in the doctor's office to talk about the crazy symptoms I had been experiencing (yet trying to deny) for the last year. Here's a run-down of the hot mess-ness that I found all consuming for far too long: Hair Loss Uncontrollable Weight Gain Debilitating Fatigue  Joint & Muscle Pain Terrible Menstrual Cycles Sensitivity to Cold Anxiety and Depression I remember absolutely cringing inside as I put this laundry list of front of my doctor. My inner narrative (this is something I'm still working on) can be so harsh and I had myself convinced that I was being a baby and needed to suck it up. However, "suck it up" was no longer an option. My TSH levels indicated a thyroid issue, which was commonly linked to the list of symptoms I presented. The first diagnosis was that of Hypothyroid Disorder and I was immediately put on Levothyroxin.  Mont...

I Hate This.

It's taken me years to finally get the courage to address several areas of my own well-being. It all started with a trip to the doctor during the first week of January. I received so much insight into issues I've been experiencing and problems that I had been choosing to ignore. I've been on medications for over a month and I truly feel like a brand new version of me.  Growing up, medication was something that was frowned upon and feared in our household. Once I became a parent, my entire perspective shifted. I knew that I would do anything in my power to give my children relief from whatever they may be experiencing. From everyday colds, to the flu, ear infections and even a journey into Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis , we've overcome a lot....thanks to modern medicine. However, there is one particular person who was left behind in this journey.  Me.  How often have we kept ourselves on the back burner as moms? How many times have we made appointments for our kids, tak...

2023 Taking Care of Me

For me, 2023 has been a year of conquering fears and making lifestyle changes. As parents, how often do we place ourselves on the back burner? It's so common and I am 100% guilty of it. This year, something inside of me clicked. Maybe it's the whole "wisdom with age" thing. Maybe it's finally getting the courage to go to therapy. Perhaps, it's a little bit of both. For me, it happened with a 3-step plan. It's a plan that terrified me, but I held myself accountable and put the plan into action.  Step 1: Medical Health January 2023, the 4th to be exact, started with a wellness visit to my primary care doctor. Was I even allowed to refer to her as that when I hadn't paid her a visit since 2018? Yes. 2018. Of course, we had the whole pandemic thing in the mix, but we can only use that excuse for so long. I hadn't had a women's well check since 2018. I was having all kinds of strange symptoms, that I told myself was just the downward spiral to 40 (n...
