2021 Beach Trip with the Boys!

This year Mom and I took the boys to Ocean City with a bit of a change: we stayed just outside of town in Selbyville, in Mallard Shores (or something like that, I forget the name). The unit was nice and very roomy. However, I did not like the fact that geese were everywhere. And we couldn't walk in the grass outside because of the rampant goose poop (which quite frankly grosses me out). However, we had a good time away together! 

Mom was an amazing help with Samuel. She watched Samuel in the mornings while Liam and I went to the beach. In the afternoon, we would go to the pool or for a walk or somewhere else. We got dinner at a restaurant on the water (it has since closed... it was called the Atlantic Bayhouse or something). The dinner was good but the view was better. Especially because a storm was rapidly blowing in from the West! We liked that view. 

Liam and I have developed a tradition of going to the beach at 120th street. That way we can walk to the Carousel for treats and bathroom breaks as needed. 

We went for four nights this year which I think was perfect. It was a lovely get away!

My meds, my experience and my faith 💗

I started this at around 8 weeks because of nausea.  Meds I changed and added because of sub-chorionic hemorrhage *After every major bleed I take extra progesterone in the morning.  * I had stopped the B6 at 13 weeks when my nausea subsided. I resumed it at 19 weeks to get to help my SCH heal  *I take additional magnesium to calm my ...

Never enough

I honestly wish people knew how hard it is for single parents to do basically anything. Getting out of the house, getting everyone to bed, getting free time to my own... all require a lot of coordination and there is NO backup. There is no one to fill in when I'm sick or to step up when I just need 5 minutes or to tell me I'm doing a good job when everyone's asleep and the house is so quiet.  I feel like a failure in so many parts of my life; that I'm just not following up enough, I'm not doing enough, I'm not appreciative enough. It's just never enough. 🤷🏼‍♀️
