Tough but worth it

Five days ago, we celebrated Kynzies 8th birthday. This one was particularly harder one than the recent past ones have. I have been an emotional mess most days, snapping at things I usually wouldn't, getting upset at the most rediculous things, crying over nearly everything that makes me even slightly sad. I blame this...

 This pregnancy has been one of my difficult ones. Zero energy, tired all the time, not wanting to slow down, little positivity (I've had to work really hard on that one) and anxiety. Man, I know it's going to be worth it. I just don't appreciate how I feel. I tell my closest people that I might as well just go hide under a rock till I have this baby. I'm not as nice as I use to be before I got pregnant. I have zero filter so anyone near me knows how I feel. 

I know things will be okay, even if they are tough right now. 

She's my reason to keep moving forward and to keep believing that things will be okay. I remember this day like it was yesterday. So many memories and feelings come flooding back now and again. 

Summer break

We have a month left until school starts. These first 6 weeks have been anything but simple. Every summer my neices and nephews come over to spend some one on one time with their mom and get to spend some time with their cousins as well. We also have another neice and nephew that love to come over to hang out with their cousins too. So for about 6 weeks we have between 10-12 kids constantly in the house. It's insane and at times difficult. But despite the difficult times, a lot of fun memories have been made this summer. Those 6 weeks are up, things are going to begin to go back to normal (but we shall see... From my last post, change is the new normal, haha). Here's a few memories caught on camera that truly reveal these kids had a lot of fun 🙂
