MOM UPDATE

resizeThe past week has been rough as a mom.

Couldn’t figure out what changed in Oaks, and why he wasn’t his happy smily self. I then figured out he was teething and sprouted two teeth, so then on top of that he came down with the worst cold.  At first I thought it was his teething that made him have a runny nose, but it was so bad, and then it moved down his throat, and he lost his voice from that.

I felt so bad for him.  This was the first time he has ever been sick, so I was SO sad, and so was he. Saturday night, was THE worst night of them all.  Mostly because he was so sad and hurting and that made me feel bad. He was so stuffed up and congested he could hardly breath (it sounded like, but he could)   I was a mess because I was getting what he had, and so THANK god for my sweet loving, caring amazing husband.  (not over exaggerating) I truly am so incredibly grateful for him.

Anyways, Oaks slept in our bed that night and let me tell you.  I might have cried with him.  Mostly because I felt SO terribly bad for him.  He woke up from his coughing and not knowing how to clear his throat, it scared him.   My husband and I took turns having him sleep on our chest, we would also get up every 30 minutes to an hour and we would rock him back to sleep.  

I was thinking we would need to take him to the ER, but he never had ran a fever. I know most of you have gone through this a lot more than I have, but this is my first go round of sickness and it was so hard and sad to watch. The next day we had lots and lots of cuddles. It was  SO amazing.  I haven’t had cuddles like that since he was about 3 months old.

He is on the mend now. The doctor said he is just fine, and it was just a yucky cold.  Oh, and yes, I did take him in to the doc… I am a first time paranoid mom.  Can you blame me?  On Tuesday he woke up SO happy, and wanted to play and he was finally getting his cute voice back that I missed for a couple of days. 

I wrote on my instagram, what your recommendations were for home remedies, and I took all your advice (they were all SO helpful) and used them, and they have worked wonders on him!

So Thank YOU!  

That is why I have been MIA lately.  My baby is my first priority, and it is hard to juggle my career and raising a baby, let alone a sick one.  Are you moms as paranoid as me and take your baby to the doc for a cold? Share your stories!

Anyways, switching lanes here… have you guys entered my giveaway to win my Ab Challenge?! Head to my instagram to enter.  TWO lucky winners will be chosen this Friday!

It is finally here, I have been waiting months upon months to share my new site with all of you. It is good to do a little revamp every once in a while.  I designed it, so that you can search what you want to look for.  They are categorized under “Fashion”, or “Fitness”, or “Lifestyle”.

It is so much more organized, and I LOVE that.  As you know I first started this blog as a Fashion blog, it then grew into Fitness, and now Lifestyle, where I share my motherhood journey.

I have loved sharing my journey with all of you, and I feel that I have become closer to you guys because of it.

I want this blog to be a community of woman lifting each other up, and want you to come to my blog and leave in a better mood! 

I think it is so important, to share real life with you, and all the struggles that come along with it.  Of course all the happy too. 

We are all so lucky for the world we live in today, because of the things we can learn from each other on social media, and online.  I don’t like to look at it in a negative light.  We truly are blessed to live in these times.

I know that a lot of my struggles through motherhood have been lightened by social media, and all the tips have been wonderful.

So please, share anything with me!  I want to know about you guys, and what helps you.  I am learning just like you are.

I love sharing things that I do with all of you, and love learning from you!

So, thanks for all your support along the years.  Motherhood is so new to me (duh) but I have definitely grown from being a mom, and look at life so differently.

Also, will be sharing so much more of what I eat, and recipes.  That will be under my “Fitness” tab for now. 

You guys let me know your requests of what you want to see more of, and that was Make up, meals, and work outs.

So that you will see!  I only share what I actually do, and use.   Let me know what else you would like to see along the way.

I have some other things coming up, I cannot wait to share with you!  

Anyways, have a good day!  

xox,
