Any pregnancy is exciting, but when you learn multiples are on their way, things are just a bit different! You find out you are pregnant with not just one, but TWO babies (or more)!!!

Did you know May is the official “Mental Health Month?” I have battled with anxiety on and off for most of my life. My anxiety centers around health phobias, and it always feels so silly, but the reality is that I am not alone in my anxiety battles.

This is my third pregnancy, and I still feel completely surprised sometimes at the things that are happening to my body because every pregnancy is truly different.

So then how in the world, when I’m racing around town trying to get Daughter A and Daughter B from Point A to Point B on time, are we going to find time to eat a frickin’ meal? Are we doomed to a solid month of Happy Meals and drive-thru dinners?

The reality is that I was looking at myself through a negative lens. Instead of being proud of myself for remembering to take a picture of myself with my kids, I looked poorly on myself and my body image.

So, how dare I feel confident giving my son a popsicle every day, even if it is after a dinner that he refused to eat? I make sure to pack these popsicles with as much nutrition as possible, that’s how!

After a lot of research, I decided to try the latest buzzword I had seen floating around. KETO.

There is comfort in having a plan, knowing what they want, and feeling of control, especially in pregnancy when they feel so out of control.

My oldest child is nine and in fourth grade, so surely no one is talking about sex on the playground!?! According to his response, no, they don’t talk about it *other* than this one time the girl said she hates that word. In my head- “”

<p>I remember watching one of my closest friends putting her baby to her breast. It was like magic. It was as if baby and mom were perfectly connected. Meanwhile, I sat attached to my pump EVERY 3 hours. I still needed to use formula. I felt like I failed to connect with my baby. I’d cry because the sound of my pump parts clicking together made my milk let down…not the cry of my baby. </p>
