Is it naptime yet?

There's "poop explotions", and then there's "The diaper came off and then he pooped, and we had no idea, and then, a while later, he comes over with poop all over the place". We didn't want that couch anyways... 😬😅🤣🤣🤣 But hey, he got that bath he already needed but I'd been procrastinating giving him 🤣🤣🤣😅

If you want to save yourself for marriage (new commitment or original) doing so just because you're told it's a good idea isn't enough. You need to figure out your own reason as to WHY you don't want to cross that boundary, and then also create boundaries leading up to that line that help you stay away from it. For example, if you're okay with snuggling and kissing a lady who's not even your official girlfriend yet, your chance of the wedding day without crossing the line is very low. If you set boundaries with women in all the different stages of relationship, maybe even no snuggling with your fiance, only single pecks rather than fully on kissing or making out, or even no mouth kissing at all, your chances of making it go way up. Dating long distance with video calls and not breaching the topic is another way that seriously reduces the risk. Either way, you do need to know your WHY, and set into place the necessary boundaries to protect your why until you are married. It may not be easy, but it is totally worth it! This is also why dating intentionally helps, cause you don't need to wait 2 years if you get through the big possible deal breakers and deal makers quickly! Marriage is awesome and totally worth it! It's why I invited my husband to write How to Prepare Yourself for Marriage with me, because I and we want to help people figure out how to date intentionally so they don't need to drag things out because they have to figure everything out while it's happening!

Sometimes I really struggle to say No! I mean to actually use the word No, instead of giving reasons why I don't want to say yes... 😔 I'm working on it, but it seriously hearts my heart, especially if the other person seems excited about something. 😥

So, I'm guessing all y'all 100 pushups to 100k have stopped exercising. It's the only explanation as to why we're not already back at 100k, right? I mean, cause and effect! The 58k gang seem to finally have given up, so the tuggawar between them and the 100k gang of should be over, hence my conclusion of lack of exercising 🤔🤗

I know I have things I could be working on, but snuggling with my son is the best, so I just wanna leave myself available for whenever he comes over and pays attention to me so I can give him my focus. I love being a mom! 🥰🥳👶

One of the worst things I know is when I'm sleeping or resting and a fly touches my lips! 🤮🤬

Yep, it's official, we have a walker! No longer just a step here and there, it's fully secure now! 🥳🥳🥳 View quoted note →

Our son got into the trash the other day and we thought we had cleaned it all up. Well, today I just caught our son with not one, but two burnt garlic cloves in his mouth! Apparently we had missed some, cause those were in that trash! Now I smell burnt garlic on my fingers, and his breath! I only held them for a few seconds!!! 😖🤣

I was cleaning up my desktop bookmarks and came across the website for the lady who did our ultrasound when we confirmed we were having a boy last year. It got me thinking of how they have ultrasounds at 9-13 week to "check viability" and how those urk me! If something is "wrong" during those scans, they tell the parents to "terminate!" Yes, if it is an ectopic pregnancy, which means the baby got stuck in the tube instead of the womb, that's really really bad, however, as I understand it, it's also extremely painful so the mother has probably figured out that somethings wrong by then! The first place we went to to get an ultrasound, the lady started by being a bit nervous and talking about checking viability, but I was already feeling movements, cause I was over 20 weeks pregnant! Then she told us we needed a doctor, and I countered with wanting a midwife and she kinda reacted like she never thought of that as an option "but yes that is one, I guess". That was supposedly at one of those free places that are supposed to help new parents figure out what to do and not promote abortion. I don't trust healthcare providers with caring for pregnancy or birth, unless an actual emergency happens. They do know what to do if the baby is old enough for them to consider it a child 🙄 But why isn't there research into how to SAVE ectopic pregnancies? Why isn't that the priority instead of funding abortions? What do we who believe in life, and who believe in the power of prayer do when we can't even trust that we can use a midwife because they're under heavy regulations to keep their licenses so they can keep working in their State? They're still being taught to focus on safety first instead of what works, even if they have more leeway in assisting the mother with natural birth. But man, I don't like how they frame that first ultrasound as a viability ultrasound! As if it's up to them to decide if this human is worth life or not! 🤮

Once a baby is conceived, it's no longer "about me", it's "about the baby!" Dehumanizing babies in the womb is what leads to all the current women who think Lindsay Clancy is "innocent" though she brutally and deliberately murdered her 3 children by strangling them. I can almost guarantee you that any man who came home from war with PTSD and even just hurt one of their kids would be found guilty, and not be let off for mental illness, even though that is REAL! Why? Because a child wass hurt. There is no excuse if you plan and then murder your kids!
