In reply to Emily Lindsey. Thank you so much Emily! We are definitely in that phase of finding our new groove, so allowing myself the grace to make lots of mistakes. Soaking in my new baby as much as possible and not sweating the small stuff. Thanks for reading! x

Oh how I appreciated this post!! I had forgotten that I had it pulled up on my phone to read and just found it again. Love that turning point you talked about in letting go. My oldest sister said that’s what happened when she went from 3 to 4 kids! Thanks for sharing and I pray you are doing well as you are adjusting to this new stage of motherhood!! xx

[…] After a weekend of hosting family who had just moved to town, I admit I was probably on my feet more that I should have been, and went to bed pretty zonked on Sunday night. I was having very restless dreams and kept being woken up by what I thought braxton hicks contractions. I finally acknowledged that they might be something more than that since they were getting painful. I started to panic slightly since I didn’t have a hospital bag packed, so at 5am, I got up and started pacing…. and packing. Never underestimate what the adrenaline of a woman in early labor can do! That bag was packed in ten minutes flat without missing a single needed item. Gabe woke up to get ready for work, and was slightly confused over the sight of his wife buzzing around the room at such an hour. After calling the doctor for advice on what to do, we called up family to stay with the kids so we could head to the hospital. My mind was spinning, as I tried to process what was happening. I wrote a goodbye note to my kids, squeezed Rocco extra tight as tears welled up in my eyes, and walked away from the house with the feeling it wouldn’t quite be the same when I returned. That life was about to shift sails. […]

What a lovely post. I am expecting baby number 2 in November and with just 11 weeks to go I am starting to have those “How am I going to do it all?” thoughts. One thing I’ve learned with motherhood is that every day is a new day. No matter what happened the day before, the next morning you can wake up with fresh eyes and an open heart and know that tomorrow will be completely different to yesterday, which is reassuring in itself. Something I’ll need to remind myself of a lot when I’m in that newborn haze of exhaustion and feeding and middle of the night settling!

Hi cousin!
I look at our Zuniga family and constantly ask myself how all of my aunts and uncles and now cousins do it? How do they manage so many children?? I always wanted 3 and can barely manage 2! This post is my very favorite one that you’ve ever written because it truly shows your truth, honestly and commitment to God. It’s reassuring and enlightening, comforting and calming. To know that it can be done with a reminder that God is here to walk us through it. It’s hard to just put our lives in His hands because (I firmly believe it’s the Zuniga gene!) we so badly want to be in control ourselves, without help. Thank you for this. Love you!
