First official post

Hi! I would love to introduce myself. I am a currently a SAHM with 3 crazy, but beautiful children. Two identical twin girls that were born in November 2013 and a baby boy that was born in January of this year. I always imagined that having multiple kids like my mom would be awesome because she made it look so easy, but I definitely was not prepared for how hard it would be.

I can still remember vividly the times when I was in elementary school and my second grade teacher Ms. Adams asked us to draw what we wanted to be when we grew up. I drew myself as a mom with kids and a home and she told me that being a SAHM was not a career. I made a sad face because I thought being a SAHM was awesome because of what I saw my mother do at home.. but then again what would I know?? I was only eight years old.

Now Fast Forward a couple of decades later when I find myself being a SAHM but not by choice. I ended up becoming pregnant in March of 2013 when I was about to graduate from UCR. For those that don’t know.. that’s the University of California in Riverside, CA. I ended up graduating in June 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology, only to not be able to do anything about it because I never did field school for my passion which is Archaeology. But my struggle to get a job is not that. It’s how hard it is to get quality daycare for my kids that is not expensive. I have to literally make 4000 a month starting to go back to work. It’s about 2000 a month for all my 3 kids to go to daycare. So yeah. Reason why I can’t go to work until at least my twins go to school full time. There are programs. But with a lot of ifs, buts. And blah blah.. you don’t qualify because you make too much combined income with your partner.. but guess what?? He has to pay the bills. So yeah.. basically the system keeps me poor at home. Well anyways.. enough of that. The point of this blog is to show ppl my perspective as a SAHM with limited resources. I see a lot of women making blogs that are SAHM but I will try to show my perspective with no support in my household. That being free or paid help. Yes. My partner helps me. But hey.. he works to feed our asses so that leaves me to fend for myself for approximately 10 plus hours per day. So yeah. This is my crazy life. I welcome you! Hope you enjoy my upcoming blogs! My next topic will be about my annoyance about baby bottle or breastfeeding. Please check it out!

4 months and today marks our potential half way mark. We are hoping to deliver no earlier than 8 months (32 weeks) which brings us to August 10th. Already these little guys are taking after their brother and making their presence known early. The supposed soft fluttering "butterfly" kicks feels way more impactful and painful 😣. In one sense I envy the woman who say feeling them moving early on was soft and gentle but in another sense I know we've got two more little fighters in here ready to beat the odds with the help of our amazing doctors and of course their guardian angel brother. Keep those prayers and well wishes coming. They are doing a world of good over here. #twins #identicaltwins #identicaltwinboys #identicaltwinpregnancy #twinpregnancy #moditwins #secondtrimester #bellypic #bumppic #bestbump #doubletrouble #twiceasnice #twoforone #makemineadouble #ardrontwins #pregnancy #pregnancyafterloss #pregnancyafterinfantloss #pregnancyaftermiscarriage #rainbowbaby #rainbowtwins

We survived!

One year with four girls four and under in the books. Twinners are one and we are all so happy that this year has come to a close! Don’t get me wrong, there were many precious moments and lots of joy but it was so darn hard in so many ways. I survived by denial. “This isn’t that bad!”, “Breastfeeding twins isn’t a big deal,” “I don’t know why everyone said this would be so hard.” Flat out denial, people. Once I wasn’t in a delusional state of sleep deprivation at about nine or ten months, I started to realize that yep, my life has been hard the last year. I just want to thank my friends who would have a glass of wine with me at moments like these. You know who you are. And a special thanks to my boo, Gings, who has taken such good care of our big girls this year while I took care of twinners. Couldn’t have handled our crazy without you.

Highlights of the one year olds include saying “Ey da!” (Hey dad), crawling, now drinking bottles (yes, I know… they are supposed to stop not start at one but I’ve always hated rules), sitting at the table eating puffs while the rest of us eat meals, cruising furniture, standing on their own and still their favorite habit is being obsessed with their mom. I love and hate this last highlight.

Here we are :)
