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.

Oh my gosh if you know let me know. I have a 12yr old and I'm still trying to find that balance. Do we ever truly find it?

I'm not a parent yet but I think you have to take sanity wherever you can find it-for me that usually involves time each day to just relax and read, take a hot shower, and catch up on my TV shows online

I will never claim to have balance in my life with 5 kids! LOL but I do what I can do in the time I am given and hope that everyone is happy.

I balance my life by making sure that I have time for myself everyday-- whether it's 15 minute reading before bed or having a couple of hours to myself after the kids go to bed.

I think choosing to love, and knowing the love will require sacrifice, and knowing that the I am willing to make those sacrifices. It is with great pleasure that I see my children now making those same types of decisions for their families.

Actually it's very difficult to balance everything, but I try and make sure that I keep my priorities straight, then everything else seems to balance itself out better!

I don't have a secret just try to keep my head above water......4 teens and a 40 hr a week job...I gulp down a slim fast while blow drying my hair getting ready for work and that is breakfast..

I got lucky in my quest to balance work and being a mom and was able to work from home most of the time! Helped a lot, but had lots of added challenges as well, but I could always adjust and go to whatever my daughter was doing (dance, swim, sing, lessons, events, recitals.......)

My secret to balancing life is to always make sure I take time for myself. If I don't and I am stressed, then I take it out on the world and everyone else ends up stressed.

I try to be patient and go with the flow. Just remember that no matter how stressful things get, they will eventually get better and to be happy about what you have. And make time for yourself!

My secret is not to sweat the small stuff - I'd much rather spend time with my son than making sure the house is dusted. The dust bunnies appreciate my outlook 🙂 LOL
