This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and Slim·Fast.
It’s so exciting to be able to celebrate the blessing of having a new baby with all of my readers and talk to you about how are we're getting ready for this wonderful event.
It’s so easy to get caught up in all the physical changes and feelings of pregnancy these days. Like feeling tired, nauseated and cranky, and seeing waves in my stomach all day long. Let's not forget the heartburn and my body expanding everywhere. When I say expanding, trust me, it is expanding. I can't even see my feet anymore 🙂 But then I’m brought back to reality and am humbled with the incredible miracle of life and motherhood. It is indeed a miracle. It’s so wild to think that our baby, who started as two cells, is now ready to be born as a little person.
After months of waiting and wondering, the time is almost here. A wonderful child to share our love, our heart, our home, our family and our dreams. We’re working on names as we speak and we need one equally as special for this little baby as my first child's name. I am getting the room ready and getting all the other fun stuff together to welcome the new member of our family.
So here you are my dear readers, for the coming months, this is what I will be busy with: changing diapers, getting up all night, learning to take care of a newborn all over again, and being a mom of two children. I will also be trying to lose all the baby weight!
I look forward to sharing the experience of it all with you as I am going along. As all of you moms know, the second you have a kid it’s all about them. My journey as a mommy of two has just about begun and I know without a doubt that I’m in for the biggest challenge and most profound adventure that a woman can encounter. I’m pumped, I’m scared, I’m motivated, I’m in love and I’m grateful. Motherhood is the most amazing gift.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read about the special moments in my life. Motherhood have been such an incredible gift and I find it so easy to share with you. I learn so much from your comments and opinions and value every one of them.

I think the secret is to roll with the punches and laugh at the unexpected!

There is no secret to balancing your life and being a parent...sorry.
Sometimes it's easy and sometimes you just have to " accept the things you can not change" and you will be a of happier person. Thanks for the giveaway!

I have learned over the years(4 kids ranging from 3-13) that you must take time for yourself and time for you and your spouse.i would do anything for my kids but after them being with me 24/7 365 days a year I do need time to myself.Thanks!

My children are all adults now but I don't think I did a great job of "balancing" my life. My children were always first, no matter what. Even the extra things I did were centered around them, PTA, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, camping trips. But we all ended up okay. I don't regret any of the time I spent involved with their interests.

playing tennis adds a little bit of balance --when I can find the time.

I try to remember to take each day/moment as it comes and not let myself get overwhelmed with everything. Enjoy the simple things.

I just try and take at least a 1/2 hour for myself everyday to get my head together and relax!

my secret is "me" time, i get up at 4 so i have time to do what i want to do in the mornings before everyone else gets up!

I am neither a spouse nor a parent, so the only needs I have to balance are my own!
I basically have a routine I stick to - weekday or weekend - it's the same.
Thanks for the giveaway!
