Time Flies!

I can't believe I am 20wks already!  Man these 5mths have flown by.  Baby is increasing their movement, everyday I feel more and I'm loving it!  Sereniti is going to be such a great big sis for this she has done awesome with Phoenix.  She is my loving, caring, family girl.  Family time means the world to her.  Phoenix likes to discuss whether my belly ring is my baby or not and kiss it, so cute!  He is always so active yet his best friend is Sereniti.  He gets excited about anything new and has random thoughts he likes to share.  Khalib is gonna be almost 10yrs old when our baby is born, pure craziness!  I know he will be a big help and enjoy more of the baby since the older you get the more helpful you wanna be.  He is Mr. Talkative and always has an opinion about something.  If you haven't guessed or heard yet we aren't finding out the sex of the baby, drives Erik nuts but I'm excited about the surprise =0)
As for my CHAOS, I have some of it under control but I have been fighting a cold that will either be the death of my patience or my sleep I haven't figured out which yet.  And also the kids have been out of school so you know how that brings things out of whack.  Well back on track tomorrow!
Life couldn't be better for us at this point, we finally got our break =0)  All I need is more time out with my gfs so come on ladies lets make some plans!

Gettin in the swing of things.

I have started following Amanda's "CHAOS" blog and have picked up on some of her habits, they just aren't all for me.  With being 19wks pregnant I constantly either feel tired or that things aren't clean enough so I over do myself.  So my plan is to get on a better routine, I feel better when I follow a routine but I get bored doing the same things day after day.  I need to get my bum outta bed shortly after Erik leaves so like 5:30ish and have my chill time because once Phoenix is up all the madness begins he expects all the attention and Sereniti has to start getting ready for school 7:15ish, so if I have mommy time before I can focus on their needs a little more.  After Sereniti is off to school then start pickin up the morning mess, and play.  Homework when she's home and Phoenix is at school then relax with my big girl.  My biggest prob seems to be the night routine when I'm worn out and Erik wants to chill so I wanna chill with him yet I feel like I can't until the kids are in bed so gotta push some energy that way so I can stick to the actual routine nightly...  Ok I can do this! Feel free to leave me tips ;0)
