I used to be a Marathon Maniac. Now I have fibromyalgia, Raynaud's, scleroderma, a pre-teen Diva, and a set of twins (one with special needs). I'm hoping to be able to get back to running some day, but for now just being able to keep my body as limber and pain-free as I can is my challenge. I hope you enjoy my long-winded ramblings, DIYs, crafts, silliness, tips, advice, and reviews!

We did a little #maternityshoot to celebrate and mark the end of the #pregnancy the other day. ππ These three kiddles are the absolute light of my life. They make everything worthwhile and fill my heart with incredible joy. π They complete me. It’s hard to imagine what life is going to be like going forward. But we are all excited and anxious about our #sweetbabygirl joining us in two days. Just two short days! It’s amazing and scary to think about it. There are sooo many facets to adding a new baby to this mix. Questions in my head pop up by the minute. How will I manage #4kids ? How do I care for a #baby again since it’s been so long? Will the others feel left out and neglected? How can I manage to give each of my precious babies enough attention in the wake of the demands of caring for a #newborn ? How can I bring this #girlie into the mix as seamlessly as possible? How will the kids handle being separated from me for the duration of my hospital stay? I’ve never been away from them for more than 24 hours...and that was literally like twice. How will I be able to manage all of the care my little #specialneeds Miracle Man requires alongside the needs of a newborn? How will I manage my #chronicillnesses with all the sleepless nights ahead? Will my #depression and #anxiety flare up or will I experience #postpartumdepression again like I did with the boys? What damage will I do to these little loves, these sweet, innocent hearts that ARE my heart? Naturally, many of us have fears and anxieties...especially leading up to and during major life changes. I know I’m not alone. And I know that I will figure it all out. If nothing else, I’m a survivor. I’m a warrior. I have been through more major challenges in my lifetime than most. I’ve fought through it all. This is no different. And I will work incredibly hard to make sure that all of my children feel loved, supported, and special. I cannot wait to meet this #newgift and find out who she is. Of course, I hope she will be easy going and NOT high maintenance like each of the other 3 are, π€ͺ but whoever she is, she will be loved and adored and she will be a very special member of our family. π #blogpost

You will be the BEST mother to all your little ones... That's who you are and always have been. It's natural to be fearful and excited. Everything will be alright. ❤️π❤️
