Reality Mom - Reality Mom: My New Found Reality
So, I am due with baby #2 any day now! This pregnancy has gone by pretty slowly and I will be glad to finally get to meet the little guy. It seems like everyone has their own opinions on when they want him to come out. I am trying not to stress about it, but when you deliver around the holidays, it makes it harder on my husband and his job. But, we will make it work and we trust that God knows what is best for us.
Since we found out the gender of the baby this time, we decided to keep the name a surprise. Well, that has made my mother in law agitated. Every time we talk to her, she tries to figure it out. She even tries to get it out of my Sister in laws! I think she just needs to "approve it" and its eating her up inside that she can't do that. I know she hasn't been a big fan of my nieces' names, but she will just have to learn patience. Something that has been hard for her.
Anyways, I want to wish every one a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
Wow, so the little guy has turned one. Well, actually, as of today he is 15 months (As you can see, I'm a little behind!). Not only is he one year old, but its a milestone for me too. My mom has always said that my birthday was a special day for her as well and I finally realize this now that I am a parent. It means for one whole year I have been a parent, doctor, caregiver, playmate, and diaper changer...among other things. Our lives have changed so much that I can't remember how things were before him. Well, maybe once in awhile...like when we want to watch a movie together or go to bed early. Its all about the little guy's schedule and that is ok with us. They do grow fast, so I am trying to enjoy every moment, even the bad ones.
So here's to another year of giggles, learning, more teeth, and seeing my son's face light up every time my husband chases him around the dining room table!
So, this was our first Halloween with our 10 month old son. It was really fun! I thought I had scored a really good deal on a Yoda outfit I picked up at a school garage sale earlier this year, but it was too good to be true. When I tried it on my son, I noticed it did not fit correctly. So, being the internet investigator extroidinaire, I Googled "baby yoda costume". Well, it didn't look anything like the one I purchased. What did look like the one I had was a Yoda costume for a DOG!! Oh ok, this all makes sense now. I couldn't stop laughing. Then, I felt horrible for putting my son in a costume some strange dog had worn. So, we ended up going to "plan B"...a standby pumpkin outfit.
We then took my son to a few houses in our neighborhood. He had no idea what was going on, but he was a real trooper. We did get a lot of people saying we were only "trick or treating" for the candy, and well, yes, maybe!!  I have to say, the Fall holidays are my favorite and are even more so now that we can enjoy them with our son.

Ok, so I am the new mom on the block and have just aquired this domain name. I hope you all will enjoy my posts as I am the new "Reality Mom". I was originally the "Accidental Stay at Home Mom", but was recently promoted to this site. I hope this will motivate me to post more
Like it or not, keeping track of and following up on your child’s education is a full time job (or, as some like to say, a full time responsibility). You don’t need a degree in education, but you do need to possess organizational skills and follow-through with what you say you’re going to do.

Rainy days are a constant issue in our happy little household. On perfectly sunny days, the kids rarely seem interested in going outside. When it is raining, however, that is all they want to do.

This topic is becoming a frequent area of discussion in our household lately. We’ve been noticing an interesting and unexpected trend. The children we expected to be bullies at school because they’re outspoken at home are actually being bullied and are very sensitive to this fact. And, those who we expected to be bullied because they’re quiet at home are actually bullying other kids.

My fiancé and I rarely have a moment to us these days, let alone time together. While we do spend the evenings catching up after the kids go to sleep, the time is either spent droned out from exhaustion in front of the TV or having family-related discussions. There’s nothing wrong with that, mind you, but we still need some quality time that’s planned.

Children are going to rebel. It’s part of life. They’re supposed to do this, especially when they start reaching the age where independence seems more important to them than obedience. This is the natural course of life, so there’s no need fighting it . . . right?

In this day and age, it’s a no-brainer that a high school diploma just doesn’t cut it in the workplace the way it used to when we were teen. Now, a college degree is required for just about every decent paying job unless, of course, you have ten years to spare working up the cooperate latter.
