Week 24

i can't believe i've reached another milestone - yes, week 24 of my pregnancy and i'm feeling great.

　

our little peanut is such a night owl.  he's always awake when i'm about to get some shut eyes. i love all the dance moves he has been doing. as you've noticed, i'm getting big, but it's OK. i can't believe i have a little penis growing inside of me. i know that didn't sound so right, but i love everything about pregnancy minus the morning sickness. even with my pregnancy, i still clean DAILY. i can't stand a clutter house. while papa dang and our boys shower, i normally clean.  

　
my daily night routine:

- wash dishes and put them away in cupboard.

- clean toilet and make sure all the toilet seats are down. 

- empty all trash cans around the house.

- vacuum all the bedrooms. 

- double check to see if all the toys were placed back into toy box

- make sure kitchen counter is cleared of all trash.

- place dirty clothes from laundry hamper in bedrooms into another hamper for the following day wash

- get lysol wipes and wipe down counter or anything i see within sight that is dusty

- if our boys messed up our bed after their nightly pillow fights with papa dang, i will have to remake it before i lay back down to sleep. 

- take a shower and clean while i'm in there. 

　

after this is done, i normally prepare aiden's lunch and draw stick figures of our family on his ziplock bag with his snack inside. he always has a little message from me even though he can't read yet. 

　

i've always been this way and will never change. cleaning is part of my life.

tonight, after i finished my routine, we had art time and watched our boys paint for about 15 minutes. then, we called it a night by giving each other hugs and kisses. we have the same routine daily. it really helps because our boys are so used to it and knows when it's bedtime. basically, the moon is out. we pray. they get tucked into bed with their bears (yes, they sleep with their "friends"). the lights get turned off. we close the door. they quietly fall asleep. it's that simple.

　

love my boys. xoxo.

Week 23

i know. i can't believe it either. there's a picture of me. 

the heat is definitely not fun when you're pregnant, however, i spent most of my day inside my office (yes, my igloo) and had no idea how scorching hot it was until i left to pick up my little man from school. it never cease to amaze me that with this pregnancy there are moments where i forget that i'm pregnant because i'm so busy with my two boys at home. however, i love the fact that i'm pregnant and don't care that i've expanded like a balloon. i've already gained 20 lbs. and probably have another 15-20 at the rate i'm going. it's a really, really special time for me. i love the feeling of my son wiggling and kicking inside of me throughout the day. i love that papa dang and i talk about what it would be like to have another son and the excitement we have to add another boy into the mix. i love to dream and have butterflies of what it would be like one day to be a mom to three boys. i love that my two boys kiss their baby brother daily. i wished i can fast forward because i'm so anxious. another 17 weeks to go before i take part in witnessing another miracle of life. gosh, i'm so thrilled and i hope you are too!


being pregnant is so beautiful.


love my boys. xoxo.
