If money were no issue, baby-sitters no issue & you had the entire day all about YOU, what would be the absolute Perfect Mother's Day?

Planning #3 and Terrified!
So we've decided to start trying for our third child, yay!! It's funny because for the past year I've been going on and on about how I can't wait to get pregnant again. I just had that feeling that I was so ready to start all over & for Zoe & Liam to have another sibling.
So finally Rick decides his totally ready too, only took a year of back and fourth on the subject, but yay, he's ready! Ladies, now that we've been trying for nearly a month & it's VERY possible that I'm preggo, I'm absolutely terrified!! Now I'm having second thoughts! Why would I want to start all over again??! Liam is pretty self efficient, Zoe's pretty much out of diapers & I'm starting to feel like "me" again. What are we thinking?? I do have moments where I think how wonderful it will be to be pregnant again, to give birth & have the precious new life in my arms.................the problem is that those moments are pretty fleeting Lol!
I know that as soon as I take that pregnancy test and it comes back positive I'll be OVER THE MOON!! I guess i'm having "Cold Feet" syndrome!

Ok, let's talk food...
So I am playing on the computer and Maiah wakes up, finds a bag of Cheetos and proceeds to eat them for breakfast. What did I do? Not a thing!
How funny it is to reminisce about the days when I was pregnant and swore I would feed my kid nothing but organic and healthy foods. Nothing but veggies and lean meats and smart snacks.
All that went out the window when the kid was refusing to eat every single food item I placed in front of her! I even got a book on how to hide healthy veggies in kid friendly foods. The problem is that she won't even eat that!
So I've been reduced to giving her condiments. I am not joking. She eats Ketchup for dinner a good 2 nights a week. When I make a salad, she demands a salad of her own. She sucks the lettuce dry of the ranch dressing then spits them out. She spits everything out! Disgusting! And I was only worried about poopy diapers and vomit, now spitting out chewed up food???
Once she actually ate pickle juice and ketchup for lunch at Denny's.
I have been reduced to giving her a scoop of carnation instant breakfast in her milk all day long!
So the list of what she will actually eat: Hot dogs, string cheese, macaroni and cheese, Ketchup, ranch, cheetos, pirate booty, chips, COOKIES, chocolate, ice cream, candy, and pretzels.
C'mon ladies, dish about what you put on your kids dish!

About Me
Hi Mamma's! So if your interested, here's a little about me : )
I'm a 32 year young mom to a 11 year old boy & a 3 year old daughter. In other words a Tween & a Toddler, aka terrible "T's"! I'm happily engaged to the love of my life as a "stay at home mom".
I had my first child when I was only 21 years old & became very depressed after giving birth. After years of therapy medication etc, I came to the conclusion that if I had only had more "mom to mom" support I probably wouldn't have felt so alone and so scared as a new mommy.
When my son turned 8 we decided to become pregnant again. I made it a priority to connect myself to mothers that were willing to share not just the joy's of motherhood but also the stress & loneliness it can bring. I found some GREAT moms that I was able to have long term friendships with.
It is so easy to forget what we as mothers need in life! I can't speak for all mamma's out there, but for me reaching out to moms no matter age, experience, background etc, made a HUGE impact in the way that I now parent my children and also the way I take time to love myself the way I deserve!
Children do not come with instruction manuals and we do not have all the answers, but together we can learn from each other just by being open, honest & caring towards our fellow moms!
I treasure my Mommy Friends & would be lost without them!
