Still a Yogi at 8 Months pregnant!

 8 months

A few more weeks to go and I have enjoyed every bit of it, well almost!

I have loved  guessing if your a girl or a boy!

Choosing your name.

Debating with your father about my favorites

apposed to his favorites.

But we have come to an agreement!

I am savoring all of

the nesting, food cravings and Crazy Hormonal swings!!

(your Dad……not so much)

I’m Loving every movement you make,

every Hiccup that keeps me up!

It still amazes me every single time I feel and see your leg or arm move across my belly!!

I love talking to you and I love it even more when your

father and siblings talk to you!!

It’s a beautiful thing to be able to carry a human being inside of me!

I feel honored to have experienced your growing life these past months!

You are my last pregnancy and I am taking every singe moment in!

and trying Really hard not to complain to your Daddy!!

I love you and can not wait to meet you!!

Loving you always, from the moment you existed!

Your mommy

I’m Pregnant!!! April 8, 2011

SURPRISE~ I am 5 months pregnant with our 4th and couldn’t be happier!! Yay!

Chloe was finally Potty trained on March 6th and Thank goodness we are Diaper free!!! (for at least 4 more months!!)

We are waiting until the Baby is born to find out the sex!! I’m personally going a little crazy! But in the end it will be a beautiful Surprise!

Im still very much in love with my yoga practice!!

It saves my from the stress of being pregnant and keeps me sane!! Having 3 kids and being pregnant can at time be a little crazy, but also so amazing!!

Mother and Daughter pictures! July 12, 2010

It was my youngest Birthday recently, she turned 2 on July 4th! My awesome Neighbor took some beautiful Pictures of us on her special day! Enjoy!

Us watching the fireworks, it was the first time she had ever seen them!

Its hard to believe she went from this:

To this:

In one year!

I will hold each moment close to my heart!! Please do not grow up too fast!!

I love you Bella-Bean!

What Yoga Means to me: July 12, 2010

Yoga is not just about physical strength, balance and flexibility. Yoga peels away all the layers of emotional and mental baggage that we hold onto, revealing our authentic selves….It nourishes, strengthens, heals and gives us courage. It teaches us how to BE on and off the mat.

First flip flops March 31, 2010

Chloe got her first pair of flip flops!!

Being a flip flop lover from the Beach,

I could wear them even in the winter

back home.

I was too excited when Chloe could wear

her first pair!!

Of course her toes are painted??

Was that even a question?

Girls are so Fun!!!

Hands March 29, 2010

The other day I held my my Mothers hand.

Something very simple,

but not…

You might not know that she is sick.

I don’t like to talk about it.

Not the same person sometimes…

The mother I grew up with is not always there.

You get a small bit of the old her at times, but usually…

she is not always around.

Breaks my heart at times…

Brings me to tears when I think too much about it.

(like right now)

My mother was the most loving, caring, comforting person I knew!

She cared for my friends like they were her own.

She

Loved

Always~

Never had Hate in her heart,

Never!!

I Never knew her to speak ill of anyone!

(well, besides Sarah Palin, all of a sudden??)

Giving, always so giving!

To family, friends and even strangers!

She once stopped in the middle of the street to give “MY Sons”

stroller away to a mother and her infant walking in the summers heat!!

Knew it was the right thing to do!

But still… I had to go get another stroller!!! HA!

Selfless!

I miss her…..

Miss her friendship

not many parents can also be your friend,

shouldn’t be at times.

but she was mine…

still is, sometimes…

I wish my husband and children knew her then….

I wish she was around.

I wish.

I love her….

So as I held her hand the other day

Looking at it,

fighting back the tears so no one (including her) would know how

heartbreaking it still is for me.

Seemed so simple,

her soft hand.

holding it..

but everything she was,

was still there in her hand.

It took me back for a second.

The same touch she use to give us as a child,

as a teenager and young adult.

Felt so nice…

Same hand,

feels the same

even if she isn’t the same, I could still feel her

and for that second I was a child again and she was protecting me

like children should always feel from their parents.

I miss her….

Father and Son Moments are always priceless March 22, 2010

It’s moments like these that make your heart melt! I so enjoyed watching Caleb learn baseball with his Daddy. So sweet~

It’s Spring time!!! March 21, 2010

I love it when the

Snow melts,

The days are  longer,

The sun shines brighter!

The flowers bloom and smell wonderful!

Your windows remain open and everything feels so Fresh!

All of that means Spring is here!!

This weekend was such a wonderful weekend.

The first weekend of Spring,

and our weather was nothing but Perfect!!

We were inside only for  naps and the remaining time we were outside.

There is nothing better than being outside with all the neighborhood kids and families!

It was a Gorgeous start to the first days of Spring!

We grilled out for the first time since Fall.

Ate our meals on our patio and watched the squirrels, (quirrels, as Chloe says!) Birds, and people!

We picked up a few things for the kids to play with outside,

plus a couple of steaks and snow crab legs and had a Perfect day!

I loved watching Nick play baseball with Caleb!!

It was his first time and he did Awesome!

The only thing missing was Ethan,

who was in NYC with his father for his 9th Bday!!

I must say that although it is very hard at times to have 2 sets of parents.

You have to think about it as lots of love for you child!!

Ethan gets to have 4 birthday parties!!

NY with his father, at school, at home and in MD with my in laws!

That is ALOT of Love!!

He is a very Lucky boy!!

Here are a few more pictures from this beautiful Spring weekend!

Enjoy!!

To be young again?? March 18, 2010

This was me before the 3 littles

The one in the hula outfit!!!

I had a ton of fun when I was young

Lots of parties,

great friends

and

Awesome memories!!!

I have no regrets, which is important!

Do I miss it???

Sometimes…

But then I realize what I have and

this is definitely a better place to be!!

They are what Life is really about!

Not saying I would not mind a dinner and drinks night out with just my ladies.

But…

recently…

I got to live that single life once again.

I have not been away from my kids in Years!!

It was one of my closest friends 30th Birthday, Liz.

So I had to be there for her!!

Both Dana and I went to VA to celebrated her day!!

It was nice to wake up and not have to rush breakfast and diapers!

To just wake up and be “me”

We went to brunch

We walked around and shopped with out the distractions of

“Please don’t touch that”

“Please come here”

“don’t do that”

“STOP IT”

We went for a run outside without having to pack a diaper bag!

I got dressed with out someone hanging on my leg!

It felt Awesome!!

Then I got dressed up!

In my new shape

my new size

and Damn it felt good to feel good about my size!!

I have been working my ASS OFF on losing the baby weight that having 2 kids in 2 years can add to your figure

(on top of eating more than I should)

So here are a few pictures:

Although Liz and Dana have some idea on how grateful I am for a weekend of freedom

They have no idea how much it meant to me!

I love them for giving me that feeling of FREE again!

It made me realize…

Yep..

It was Awesome..

Epic….

I got to feel “young again”

That I most definitely want a weekend again with just the 3 of us.

What it also made me realize was

I am so happy

to be..

“Here”

Right Here!!

Happy my husband was understanding enough to give me that time,

Happy that I got to go home and be with my family and kiss my

Little ones!!

That I get to Kiss them everyday!!!

Happy to be

Young

In love

and

Healthy!!

Lucky!!

and…

Love love loving life!!!
