Being a homeowner you get to do cool shit like paint walls any color, any day of the week and not have to run it by anyone. You also get to learn cool new stuff like how to update electrical outlets and switches. You also get to pay stupid fees when you fail to turn a circuit breaker back on all the way and it takes both a repairman and an electrician to come out and tell you so... 🤷‍♀️🙃🙈😂 #CasaDelEstowicz (at Bay City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2qMgEuzlr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

But really the only laundry symbol I know is ♾️, because it NEVER ENDS. Check out slide two and three for some funny memes my son sent me in reference to my #MatriarchHandmade Laundry Care banner. I've been meaning to share them for a while. 😂 Banner available here on Instagram in cream, or you can find more color options on my website! https://www.instagram.com/p/CofR5Dmub81/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When y'all go SHORT, I stay LONG. 🙃 The chop can wait. It's been a while since I really embraced having long hair and I'm feelin' it. Someone come pull me out of this mirror. I've got things to do. #selfiecentral (at Bay City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnfYEdPv4pO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

*mic check* Is this thing on?? Anyone still here? Anyone still following along on Instagram?

Thinking about getting this baby going again! Kinda just to piggyback off my Instagram, but who knows! 

Here is an updated pic of the fam. Still out here killin’ it!

Hope you’re all well! Take care!

I've been MIA for quite sometime now... But here's an update of the family. We are all doing great.

Also, things are picking up at Matriarch Vintage and Handmade. Check out the new handmade goods. Momma has been hard at work.

Just a little bump update.

Still feeling pretty good. My lower back is starting to bother me. Might be seeking out chiropractic help one that one soon. Midwife says baby is looking fantastic, still in the head down position. Also my fluid levels are looking great (compared to my last pregnancy)! Lab results showed I have low iron, so I have now added iron supplements to my daily vitamins. I'm now weighing 160lbs. Still pretty tired overall and starting to get that 'not enough air' feeling, especially when trying to fall asleep.

Only 53 more days according tot he first EDD they gave us! Thinking it will be a LOT sooner than that!

Tuesday Check-In

...because I missed Monday.

Obsessing over: The fact that I have a ginormous child growing in my uterus. We had a growth ultrasound yesterday that revealed out littlebun is not so little.Yesterday marked 32 weeks and the babe is measuring 34 weeks and 5 days! Already weighing 5lbs 4oz. So according to his current size he could come in early March, instead of late March. "Yay!" is my current thoughts on that.

Working on: Getting some Etsy orders and prints ready to be shipped later this afternoon. If you haven't already checkout my new little side business at motherrosedesign.tumblr.com.

Thinking about: Calling to make an appointment with the chiropractor because my lower back is really starting to slow me down. Definitely in the waddling stage of pregnancy now, thanks to my extremely sore back.

Anticipating: Getting the bassinet painted, along with it's new mattress pad made, as well as the sheets for it. Also, waiting to get back my glider cushions back from my MIL after being recovered. I am feeling extremely pushed for time now that I see how quickly this little guy is growing. Not much longer till he joins us in the real world.

Drinking: Coffee!
