Everone is Sick!

In keeping with the same theme, thought I would mention that today everyone is still sick.

Hannah is down with the stomach flu, Kayla is down with tummy upset and a bad cold, and my dear Erik is also down with a cold/respiratory distress.

I can't believe that I am not sick! Perhaps this pregnancy is affording me a little immunity. They say you're immunity is down a bit when pregnant, but mine appears to be up.

This week I enter my third trimester. Things went by so fast during this pregnancy. It's easy to see why chasing around 2under2. I can't believe that in roughly 2 months we'll welcome our 3rd under 3. Now is the time I start reflecting on my pregnancy.

I personally feel that being pregnant with my third has been my easiest pregnancy thus far. I field many questions from other parents asking if moving from 1 to 2 or from 2 to 3 is more difficult. So far I would have to say that moving from 1 to 2 seemed much harder. My pregnancy was much trickier. My energy was down and overall I just felt a lot more stress.

By now, after being pregnant three years in a row I feel much like a parenting expert. I also have a lot more energy and time to organize, prioritize and spend time with my family.

It's all really about creating balance in your life. When first faced with the challenge of raising two under two, I tried to be supermom. I tried to do everything. Take care of my kids full time, work all the time, keep a clean house, be a good wife...

At some point you need to realize that you won't be useful to yourself, your children, or your partner unless you learn to create balance in your life.

Balance is the key to rejuvenating your mind, body and spirit when pregnant with 2 or more under 3.
