Walkers, New Teeth, New Words and MORE

They're growing and there's no stopping them now! The girls are just shy of 14 months old (seriously where is this time going?) and it feels like they are changing every single day! 

 We just celebrated Halloween! The girls were the cutest owls around and safely accompanied by Big Brother as the Hulk! We went trick or treating with the sweetest family - The Ritters. They're boys were superheroes too, so the owls were extra safe! While walking the neighborhood, the girls loved taking it all in. Emersyn kept clapping her hands and yelling "YAY!" where Everly decided that a nap was better fitting for the occasion. 

 Everly is walking everywhere and as often as she can! She's still a bit wobbly, which is one of the cutest things ever, but she is determined to take off running. Emersyn not so much! Anyone who knows Emersyn knows that she likes to take things at her own pace. Just because her sister is doing it, doesn't mean that she will. She likes to surprise us. And while Everly is walking around, she is either army crawling or giving you that irresistible look that says "pick me up"! 

These two are the busiest girls I know! They play and explore from sun up to sun down. And if I'm tired, it's because I am always on the move chasing them wherever they go! Sometimes I think to myself "why on earth am I so tired?" and then I think about all of the running and lifting that happened that day. I wouldn't trade it for the world, because I know that one day they will be grown and these days will be a distant memory. 

 The girls are getting two more teeth as well for a total of six teeth a piece! They're teething schedules have remained in synch for the whole year! Crazy, huh? Sometimes they are so different, yet so much alike. 

 The girls love to say "Bye" and flail their little arms whenever they get the chance, except it sounds like "BAH"! Cutest thing ever! Sometimes I say "Bye" even when I'm not leaving just to hear them say it. 

 Now we're gearing up for the holidays! Christmas shopping for three kids is a new experience for this momma! But it's so much fun! So until next time "BAH!"

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...
