Happy Mother's Day

a lot of times i look at my life and i wonder how it got to be where it is at. it has not turned out the way i thought it would, or did it? i always knew i wanted children, i am not sure why i wanted them, i guess i thought that is what grown-ups did. they go to college, get married, buy a house, and have kids. that is what you do. i didn't realize you had a choice. i am not a "kid person", i know that sounds odd coming from a mom of three, but i don't like children in large quantities. don't get me wrong, i fell in love with my kids the day the pee stick told me i was with child, and i love all my friends' offspring, i just don't understand them. the problem is i remember being a kid, i remember my imagination, i remember my mind as a child, and i also remember knowing i was going to loose it all. how can i know and not know all at the same time? maybe i am jealous of children, who knows. anyways....that was a ramble. it is mother's day, and i am truly blessed. i would never change my life, i have three beautiful, smart, healthy, bright and incredible girls. i would and do everything i can to make sure they stay smiling. without them i would not be a mom, without them i would not get up in the morning, without them i would not be complete. even though my life is different than imagined, it is completely what i imagined. i'm talking crazy, huh? well, i hope all you moms out there had a wonderful day filled with love made from colored construction paper and glue stick. i know i did, and do...every day of my wonderfully wonderful life.

38 Weeks

miss lil popi is growing, sorta. she is still so small, i love it! she has no teeth, does not crawl, or try to, and does not pull up. but, she plays on the floor by herself really well, loves music and likes to sway and boogie to it. she likes scrambled eggs, yogurt, acorn squash, and ripe bananas. she gets excited to see her poppa bear now, she wiggles and giggles and reaches out for him, so cute. when i bring her into bed in the morning for nursing she cranes her neck around to look for her poppa, she knows he's there. her eyes are blue, a blue outside and hazel/green center, they are beautiful. it is so odd, all three of my girls have different colored eyes. juni has caramel/hazel eyes, bee has dark chocolate eyes, and popi has blue. love the differences! oh and yes, those are her real eyelashes, no makeup or photoshop:)

My Record Collection

cat stevens' mona bone jakon is one of my favorite albums ever.
it has many stupendous songs on it. cat stevens is a musical Greek god and i have had a super duper big crush on the 1970's cat stevens since forever, maybe that's why i like Greeks;)

i love so many songs off this lp, so i had to post 2. i wish they were both live performances, but i couldn't find trouble live. the live performance of lady d'arbanville is so awesome. cat stevens is so hot. (SHOUT OUT to my hottie hot hot Greek! I love you babe!) trouble was on the sountrack to harold and maude, my favorite movie of all time. the video is the clip with the song in the movie. spoiler alert: if you have not seen harold and maude, 1: shame on you, 2: go watch it, like now, and 3: don't watch the clip. the song trouble is not only one of the most gut wrenching songs ever but so beautiful and poignant. it triggers feelings deep inside of me, i want to shut the world out when i hear it, turn it up, sing really loudly and cry. i love that song. enjoy:)

Weight Loss!

most of you know i have been working hard since november to loose some baby weight. guess what?! i have lost 14 lbs!! so 15 would be the rejoicing number normally, but what i am excited about is what number i'm under now, i am 119:) i am sure that after breastfeeding i will loose more poundages as well, but right now i am so happy! i fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes and i am so much happier for it. also my barbarella body is still being sculpted, seeing muscle definition really gets me to the gym on time. i want that coveted midsection. i asked anissa, my trainer, if i would forever be going to the gym now, she said yes. there goes many hours i could be swinging on the porch!
