rapid weight loss during late pregnancy | Fall Lets Be Friends

rapid weight loss during late pregnancy





Im sitting here on my back porch, while both of my kids are napping. Did I just say that? Somebody wake me up.

Its quiet and there are leaves all over the place. I swept the deck 2 days ago, but youd never know it. My neighbor is practicing her violin with the windows open. I kinda feel like Im in a scene from a movie and she is providing the background music for my thoughts. ha. Since Cedar has started sleeping through the night for almost 2 weeks now, Ive had room in my brain and heart to think outside of feedings, diapers and entertaining my sweet 2 year old. It feels good. I have moments like Im having now, on my porch swing, where I can just be and think.  This time last year, I was on this deck a lot, reading and smiling, playing with Kael and soaking up the tiny wonders of a Carolina back yard in Fall time. I also spent hours crying out here. I was reading that book, "One Thousand Gifts" and having my world rocked by beauty and simple love. I had no idea that I was about to experience the most severe form of heart break  that I had ever known ; then a bit later, the sweetest of gifts. Its surreal to sit here in the same spot, looking at the same trees, thinking thoughts on the other side of last year. Life is too short to be spent asking why all the time. Sometimes, that question can consume me to the point of stealing the goodness that is still embracing me.

(I wish I could interject the heavenly music that is filling my street right now. Seriously, the perks of living next door to a concert violinist who loves to practice with her windows open.)

Here I am, a year older and I hope, wiser. Wiser in love and a son richer.

A part of me has been worried about these coming weeks. In the back of my mind, I have been a bit worried that I might sink back into a hole of sadness, where everything is run through the filter of cynicalness. Ive been surprised. Ive leaned more into hope than I thought I could. I sat here with Cedar before he fell asleep and had a moment that I wish I could freeze forever. A moment where I realized a miracle has happened in my heart. A sweet, new life with a personality that Im just discovering is in my arms. Did I see this beautiful moment in my future a year ago? No. But it was just the same. Im giving myself grace and not holding myself to a standard of emotional perfection these next couple of months. But, as I walk into this fall and holiday season, Im not afraid. Im peaceful and expectant.

Hey crunchy leaves and pumpkin lattes, cold brisk air and fire pit get togethers, Im not scared of you or what you brought me last year. Lets make new, happy memories with my 3 handsome boys this year shall we?

He makes all things beautiful in His time.

what cause weight loss during pregnancy













I dont know what has happened to me. Perhaps it was the mice scandal that kicked my booty into a cleaning, cooking and all things purged and organized mode. They say it takes 2 or 3 weeks to form a new habit, right? Well, Lord let me tell you, its a miracle to my little mommy soul. I wake up every morning to a sparkling kitchen that I cleaned the night before and a living room that is tidy and clean! Whatever it is, its fabulous! Im nesting hardcore and just able to keep my little home more spick and span, with way less mental effort. With that re-found housewife awareness, the love of meal planning and "from scratch" cooking has resurfaced. Who knows how long it will last, hopefully it will carry through the birth of baby boy #2. While Im at my pinnacle of womanly confidence (I have to giggle at myself right now) I am milking it for all its worth.

Im finding that being a mom of a toddler and pregnant, requires more intentional effort for me to do things outside of the ordinary and mundane. Most of you are probably like, "duh." But, for me its finally resonated in my soul. Another 6 months will zoom past me and carry me away with it, unless I purpose otherwise.

Anyways...the purpose of this blog post wasnt for me to share my heart thoughts on coming out of the little shadow of the everyday tired syndrome that shades many of us tired mommies. It was to share a snippet of a precious memory that happened this week. I decide to make another one of The Pioneer Womans yummy recipes, "Cajun Chicken Pasta" for my brood of boys. I had a little helper and I quickly grabbed my camera to freeze time for my future self. Kael LOOOOOOOVES helping me cook and bake. Its precious and the biggest joy explosion to my heart.

Take that right there, "Kael loves to help me cook." Would it be faster and probably less stressful to just keep him out from under foot and prepare meals and treats more quickly? Heck yes. But, taking the time and allowing him to stir that bowl of egg stuff for the quiche, or dump that cup of diced peppers into the pasta, that is holding onto my moments and enjoying him. Its the sugar of my soul. It makes life all that more fabulous and enjoyable for both of us. Are there days and meals where he wants to help and I just dont have the energy or bandwidth to do the whole shebang? Of course. But intentionally stopping my busy flow and enjoying my son is the most precious treasure I have and Im learning to really have a lifestyle of cherishing his moments.

As far as dinner, oh my gosh, SO DANG GOOD! I added fresh corn corn on the cob (a bit in the pasta and on the side)  seasoned and slightly blacked to the pasta! It was YUUUUUUMMY! You should try it! You can click HERE for the recipe. :)

Hope you have a lovely weekend filled with amazing simple moments!

Jess
