We definitely have a special love for blankets in this house and now that I have kids, that love has grown. All my babies have found a favorite blanket at a young age and I love that it is a security for them but my favorite thing about kids having blankets is having a little keepsake for them. </div>

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/bearcubsco">Bearcubs Co</a> is the cutest handmade shop full of the dreamiest blankets that you could ever imagine. Plus, the mama who runs it is the sweetest thing ever!! I was on the hunt for something soft and comfy for the boys but also something that would match their room. The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/467142846/geo-bearmoose-baby-boy-blanket-baby-girl?ref=shop_home_active_64">Geo Bear</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/470206144/woodland-moose-baby-boy-blanket-baby?ref=shop_home_active_48">Woodland Moose</a> Blankets were a perfect fit for my boys and they have quickly become their favorite blanket that they can't sleep without. They are minky with faux fur backing and are amazingly soft! We also learned that they wash really well since they were the go to security blanket during our stomach bug last week.</div>

Finley has to sleep with a blanket near her face so the lovey sized blanket in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/474674104/lovely-deer-baby-boy-blanket-baby-girl?ref=shop_home_active_53">Lovely Deer</a> is perfect for her. It has quickly become her favorite if you couldn't tell in these pictures....and the print you guys, is to die for!! </div>

Another Christmas has come and gone and like I say every year, this was the best one yet! Like I said in my last post, everyone had the stomach bug the week of Christmas. Gage woke up Christmas Eve morning throwing up again but thankfully was fine by the afternoon. Our Christmas Eve traditions consist of opening A present that has festive Jammie's, driving through the Festival of Lights, baking santa's cookies and sprinkling reindeer food on the front lawn. The boys were so excited it took way past bedtime for them to fall asleep. Ryder was the first to wake up and woke the rest of the house up with a nice loud "oh my goodness Santa came!!" Ryder & Gage got an array of things they needed sprinkled with a few wants which included books, light sabers, hot wheel cars, blocks and army tanks. Ya know, the essentials. Oh and my mom got them a fish tank with which we had to fill with glow fish the very next day and I'm pretty sure their lives are now made. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Watching the boys rip open presents and being so excited is definitely the highlight of every year. Finley just smiled and tried to eat wrapping paper and just stared at me all crazy with my excitement that it was her first Christmas. This was our first year buying girl presents instead of all boy stuff and you guys, my life is now complete. Two words. BABY. DOLLS. All the heart eyes even though she couldn't care less about said baby dolls. </div>

We are so so sad that Christmas is over but we are still stretching out every last minute of th holiday and having everyone on Christmas break has been so much fun. Plus, a new year is so refreshing. </div>

You guys, how is Christmas just a few short days away?? I guess time flies when you're having fun! The week of Christmas is the best week of the whole entire year! It also is the most stressful week of my life because it never fails that every year someone gets sick the week of Christmas. Last year every single one of us were dropping like flies with the worst stomach bug you could imagine. I'm seriously still traumatized! So every year when this week rolls around I pray hard for no sickness. Buuuut believe it or not both Ryder and Gage came down with the stomach bug this week. {which is also why my little old blog has been quiet this week} It never fails. So they are feeling much better and I am just praying everyone else is spared. Besides being stressed out of my damn mind we have been busy watching every Christmas movie we can think of, decorating gingerbread houses, spending days in festive Jammie's and visiting a few of santa's helpers. </div>

Even though we've had a rough week, the forecast calls for a very white Christmas, Ryder & Gage are both old enough to understand The Holiday's and it's Finley's first Christmas! Seeing Christmas through Children's eye's is just good for the soul. </div>

The type of bottle you choose for feeding your baby is one of the biggest decisions you make in helping your baby feel comfortable. Although Finley has been our easiest baby so far, our babies are usually colicky, gassy and come equipped with acid reflux which makes for a lot of fussy feedings. Whether you are formula feeding or feeding your baby pumped breast milk, the type of bottle you use has a big impact on their little tummies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In January, Nuby is releasing an all new bottle that helps combat reflux and colic called The Comfort 360 Plus and we had the opportunity to test it out before it is released. Not only is the design totally up my ally being simplistic- with no characters on it but this bottle actually worked for us. Finley has been the least colicky out of all our babies but she does have a little reflux and plenty of painful gas. The bottle has a silicone dual-vent anti-colic nipple which reduces the amount of air your baby ingests. Anti-colic valves in the base of the nipple and silicone nipple rim base allow air to flow into the bottle and way from the fluid that your baby is ingesting. This reduces the amount of suction your baby needs to apply and decreases the amount of air ingested. </div>

The coolest thing about this bottle is the weighted straw that plugs into the nipple using only two parts, not only making it easy to clean but it also allows you to use it like a regular bottle once the baby grows out of the colic/reflux stage by Just simply unplugging it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So what's the point of the straw? It is recommended to feed babies upright to help reduce the risk of reflux so the weighted straw allows for for an upright feeding. Weight at the end of the straw follows the milk, which means you can feed in any position that's most comfortable for parents and baby. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This alone has helped Finley tremendously. Being able to feed her in a more inclined position in addition to keeping her upright for a while after a feeding helps so much with reflux and I actually it noticed it has helped with her spitting up as well.</div>

With the Holiday season here it's also time our family traditions begin. As our kids get older they are really starting to enjoy our traditions and we even love starting new ones as we go along each year. As a kid our Christmas traditions were my most favorite thing about the Holiday season and now doing them with our kids makes it really special. This is also Finley's first Christmas and since she is our last baby this will be our last first Christmas that we ever celebrate. {insert ugly cry face here} Talk about an extra special holiday!</div>

<strong>Christmas Eve Pajama's: </strong>Every year on Christmas Eve our kids get to open one present and in that present is a pair of matching Christmas Jammies. I did this when I was little and I love waking up Christmas morning and seeing them running around with their new toys in festive jammies.</div>

<strong>Driving around to look at Christmas Lights: </strong>Does anyone else do this?? We love loading up the Family and taking a drive around town looking at everyone's Christmas lights. Our favorite houses are the ones who sync their lights to music. Thank you to all those extra festive neighbors who go the extra mile to entertain us all!</div>

<strong>Yearly Picture Christmas Ornament: </strong>Our little Elf named Leland brings us a new Personalized Christmas Ornament to hang on the Tree the day after Thanksgiving. It has our new Family picture on it with the year. It is so fun to look at past years ornaments as we hang them on the tree and seeing how fast our little family grows.</div>

<strong>Donate to Charities</strong>: Every year we like to take all the kids to go Christmas shopping for a family in need or a new Charity of our choice. Picking out a few toys, warm clothes and some food to help others in need is such a great learning experience for the kids. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<strong>Sending and receiving Christmas Cards</strong>: With good old fashioned snail mail getting to be a thing of the past, this has got to be my most favorite tradition of all. I love seeing our friends and family's cards and how they have grown the past year, especially those we don't get to see very often. The boys love helping me address them and even like to sneak in a few hand drawn pictures. Myself on the other hand, I love picking the actual card out! Coordinating color schemes and Design is my jam. This year I went with this gorgeous gold foil stamped Holly Branches from Tiny Prints. A dark grey background with a pop of Gold color coordinated beautifully with our family pictures. With plenty of choices in <a href="https://www.tinyprints.com/shop/picture-christmas-cards.htm" rel="nofollow">Christmas Cards</a> you are sure to find something that fits your style.</div>

You better believe that addressing every last one of these cards with love is one of my favorite things to do this season.<br />

Happy Thanksgiving week friends! I swear I can smell the Turkey already. With lots of fun stuff happening over the next few days I thought I'd share a few favorites I'm loving for the Holiday week....</div>

This year we aren't hosting Thanksgiving dinner but instead going to join our family. So I've been planning a fun breakfast for us to enjoy that will include some <a href="http://selfproclaimedfoodie.com/grannys-monkey-bread/">Monkey Bread</a> and <a href="http://www.thecookierookie.com/apple-cider-mimosas/">Apple Cider Mimosa's.</a> We're also going to make some <a href="http://delightfulemade.com/2015/09/27/pumpkin-caramel-cream-cheese-poke-cake/">Pumpkin Caramel Cream Cheese Cake</a> to eat after we put up our Christmas Tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I just bought an <a href="http://www.mojiproducts.com/randib">AirMoji</a> and I am absolutely loving the holiday scents! If you don't know what an AirMoji is it's a scent device that makes your house smell amazing. Much better than candles, scentsy etc. The Christmas morning scent has been my favorite the past two days, it smells like apple cider and is perfect for Thanksgiving.</div>

We really don't get too dressed up for Thanksgiving. Comfortable and laid back but cute is usually our style. These <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.famousfootwear.com%2Fen-US%2FProduct%2F58330-1037800%2FNot%2BRated%2FBeige%2FWomens%2BCrunchy%2BCrunch%2BLace%2BUp%2BBoot.aspx&pid=uid336-31956844-66">Lace Up Boots</a> and a <a href="http://gunnysackandco.com/shop/soft-cozy-sweater/">Soft and Cozy Sweater</a> are on my list for the Holiday. {For those of you who were asking about my boots on my Insta story @whitrichins these are the boots!}</div>

And I'll leave you with a million pictures of my little monsters since the past week has been a whirlwind and its been a while since I've done an update. We had some Christmas pictures taken, Ryder was throwing up, Gage has croup, Tyson had the man cold, we had our first snow of the season, I hung up our very first Christmas decorations and Finley has just been looking cute a long for the ride. Hope you all have lots of fun stuff planned for this week! The Friends marathon is at the top of my list! :)</div>

I feel like you either love to read birth stories or you don't. So if it isn't your thing that is okay. But if you love to read and share the experience of child birth, I hope you enjoy!<br />

<br />
I woke up early on a rainy Sunday morning, 5 am to be exact, to use the bathroom. I stood up and heard a weird sound in my belly followed by a gush of water. My water had broken. If you have never have had your water break I am here to tell you it is probably the weirdest and most uncomfortable feeling ever. I yelled for Tyson to wake up and ran to the bathroom, he shot out of bed as nervous as I was because I was only 36 weeks along. He kept asking "are you sure it broke??" Which only made me mad because YES IT DEFINITELY BROKE I AM GUSHING WATER EVERYWHERE. So as he called for a babysitter I wrapped up in a towel and went into our boys rooms and sat there and sobbed while they slept. I don't know why, but I did. I was scared for her health, nervous that the boys had no idea what was going on and terrified for labor and delivery. We loaded up and headed to the hospital. We entered Labor and Delivery and even though I apologized to everyone we passed by about my gushing water situation, Tyson still kept asking me if I was sure my water broke. I got changed into my gown, IV's were started {even though it took 5 tries to get a vein. FIVE.} and I was given a steroid shot to help Finley's lungs develop since she wasn't full term. At this time I was also told that since my water had broken that I would have to use a bed pan to use the restroom for the remainder of my labor. Hours of labor plus being pumped full of fluids made for a very long labor and I'll just say that it was probably the most embarrassing thing that I've ever had to do in my entire life and leave it at that. I was put on Pitocin at 7 AM after two hours of slow labor. This wasn't my first rodeo and I knew how my body is. I knew once I hit 5 cm dilated, I would progress super fast like always. So I tried to time my epidural just right so I would be very comfortable pushing. At 4cm Dilated I called for the anesthesiologist. While waiting for the anesthesiologist I FaceTimed Ryder and Gage since I knew they were probably awake by this time. I was so full of emotion and cried so hard when I saw their little faces. Gage was happy to see me and said he was excited to meet his baby sister but when it was Ryder's turn to talk to me he just cried and cried, which in turn made me bawl like a baby. He said he didn't know why he was crying but I think he was scared to see me in the hospital and I think he could tell I was in pain. It broke my heart but I knew he was in good hands. Shortly after that the anesthesiologist came into the room with a student who I assumed would just be watching. It wasn't until I was mid epidural and my right leg got a shooting pain that I realized the STUDENT was doing the epidural and the anesthesiologist was instructing her how to fix what she had done. You guys, I freaked. I had a full blown panic attack. My heart rate sky rocketed, my blood pressure dropped and I was trying my best to breath and sit still while a <strong><em>student</em></strong> had a huge needle in my spine. The Nurse and the anesthesiologist tried to calm me down so I wouldn't pass out and after a few minutes the pain subsided in my leg and the student was done. When she started to finish I could feel the right side of my body go numb but not the left side, so they rolled me on my left side and told me to give it a few minutes. After a few minutes not only did my left side not get numb but my right side was no longer numb either. I felt every contraction. They came fast and I could feel my hips being spread apart, I knew I was in active labor and would deliver very quickly. I told the nurse to page the anesthesiologist and I was told he just went into a surgery and would come as soon as he could. Even though I was in so much pain I was actually very calm. I cried quietly with every contraction which actually seemed to help and Tyson calmly stood next me and held my hand, but you could tell by the look on his face that he was very nervous. Finally the anesthesiologist came in the room and said they could either try to adjust the epidural or re do it. I knew I didn't have much time left and agreed to try to adjust it. They sat me up which was so so SO painful since I was in active labor and I continued to quietly sob during the whole thing. They adjusted the epidural, laid me down and said to wait a few minutes. But nothing happened and I felt a lot of pressure so I told the nurse to check me. I was in so much pain, but surprisingly calm. All I can say is I am woman, here me roar. I went from being dilated to 5cm to 10cm in 15 minutes. She paged the doctor and I looked at Tyson and said "This is what I was afraid would happen, no epidural for the pushing part." The doctor came in the room and asked if I was comfortable and with tears in my eyes I said "No, but I'm ready." The adrenaline kicked in and I was now more nervous for Finley's safe arrival over my own pain. Before I started pushing the Anesthesiologist ran into the room and asked if I wanted a big dose of medicine into my epidural to try to help ease the pain during pushing and I agreed. I felt my body go a little numb which gave me a lot more energy to push. Tyson was very nervous and he sat down on the couch next to me, looking a little pale a nurse sat next to him ready to help in any way she could. I pushed once and her head was out, I pushed once more to get her shoulders out and at 4:16 pm on Sunday August 7th, Finley June was born at 36 weeks gestation after 10 hours of labor. She only weighed 6lbs 3.8oz {we rounded it up to 4 oz} and 19 1/2 inches long. And that very sweet nurse sitting next to my very nervous husband's side made sure he watched every second of her birth. After cleaning her off, checking and double checking her stats, she was laid on my chest. We did 2 hours of skin to skin and breastfeeding and other than having low blood sugar and not passing her hearing test {which she later passed} Finley was completely healthy despite being 4 weeks early.<br />

In just a few short minutes our little family was changed forever. My heart grew a million sizes and my husband's got softened by his first and only daughter all while her brother's were so proud. <br />

If you follow me on Instagram { @whitrichins } you know that I did a major change to my hair. I went from blonde to a silver-purple and I am absolutely loving it! As some of you know I am also a hairstylist and I do post beauty related topics on the blog quiet often but it's <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">been a while since I've shared some of my favorite skin care, makeup and hair products. So in honor of the new hair I've rounded up a few to share with you! I must warn you though, I am pretty obsessed and have <i style="font-weight: bold;">a lot </i>of favorites. I'll try to keep the list short and sweet but I'm not making any promises! </span></div>

<strong>HAIR: </strong>Being a hairstylist I have a million favorite hair product<strong> </strong>and obviously with hair products it kind of depends on what type of hair you have and what your needs are. But here is what I am loving lately..<br />
<br />
<br />
Shampoo & Conditioner: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pureology-Hydrate-Shampoo-Condition-Each/dp/B00DTQ07KK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478801701&sr=8-2&keywords=pureology+hydrate+shampoo+and+conditioner&linkCode=ll1&tag=mamandmis-20&linkId=cae348ad606bf96a96e866b68fbe68f8">Pureology Hydrate</a> - Pureology is my favorite and definitely worth the money. They have other shampoo's for different types of hair depending on your needs. <br />
I also use <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Clairol-Professional-Shimmer-Lights-Shampoo/dp/B000TBVGBM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478801807&sr=8-2&keywords=Shimmer+lights&linkCode=ll1&tag=mamandmis-20&linkId=c70e3c587257b8d8ef6086b3ad6a960d">Shimmer Lights Violet Shampoo</a> to keep my blonde from going brassy and I still use it on my silver hair.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Brazilian-Blowout-Procare-Daily-Smoothing/dp/B017UROTLG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478801897&sr=8-2&keywords=brazilian+blowout+smoothing+serum&linkCode=ll1&tag=mamandmis-20&linkId=abf5552487d02c3bdc72e0a9f96be782">Brazilian Blowout Smoothing Serum</a>. I put this in my hair when it is wet before blow drying. This stuff is AMAZING. It smoothes, protects from heat and is good for colored hair.<br />

<strong>MAKEUP:</strong> So recently I stumbled upon <a href="https://www.youniqueproducts.com/WendyHales/party/5254142/view">Younique</a> makeup and I am loving them. Right now I am hosting a <a href="https://www.youniqueproducts.com/WendyHales/party/5254142/view">Virtual Party</a> until 11/16 so I thought I would share a few of my favorites in case anyone is interested in ordering. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youniqueproducts.com/WendyHales/products/view/US-21003-00#.WCS9Q-_rvIU">Moonstruck Addiction Shadow Pallet</a> Pallet #2 - it has cool black and silver shades or Pallet #3 with cool shades of pink and purple. They obviously have other pallets with other shades but cool colors are my jam. These last FOREVER too.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youniqueproducts.com/WendyHales/products/view/US-21403-00">Touch Mineral Liquid Foundation</a> they call this liquid gold. Medium but buildable coverage that dries to a powdery matte finish. LOVE! Check out the whole face line for amazing primers, powders, blushes and bronzers.<br />

<strong>SKINCARE: </strong>Okay guys I am kind of obsessed with skin care so I will try to keep this as short as possible. I think it is SO important to take care of your skin and it is worth every penny.<br />
<br />
Younique has a new <a href="https://www.youniqueproducts.com/WendyHales/products/view/US-42016-08#.WCTBYO_rvIU">Royalty Skin Care</a> line that is amazing. It has everything you would ever need to take care of your skin like cleansers, toners, anti aging serums, makeup removers, masks etc. I need them all!! {Guys...the mask is love!!}<br />
<br />
I am also still obsessed with my <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Purity-Simple-One-Step-Cleanser/dp/B00021C1LI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1478804029&sr=1-2&keywords=philosophy+purity&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=mamandmis-20&linkId=270eb174a69ee692a64c28fa6d2f3ccc">Purity Facial Cleanser.</a> I buy one big bottle every December and it lasts the whole year.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Caress-Exfoliating-Body-Evenly-Gorgeous/dp/B00ULKRA6G/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478804144&sr=1-1&keywords=caress+evenly+gorgeous&linkCode=ll1&tag=mamandmis-20&linkId=a3f11149f8bbf40754c223e12e950dfb">Caress Evenly Gorgeous Body Scrub</a> I use this every time I shower to exfoliate my skin. It has a little shimmer to it that I love and it is pretty cheap which is always a plus.<br />

She <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">has changed our lives in ways you couldn't imagine. I waited a long time for this little baby doll, and she was so worth the wait! </span><div><div><br></div><div>Out of all my babies, Fin has been my easiest. Maybe it's because by now I'm used to all this baby stuff or something but she has made transitioning to a third kid a breeze. </div><div><br></div><div>Sleep: Finley is such a great sleeper! Although I know all too well about the 4 month sleep regression that lies ahead. She still sleeps most of the day and she naps in her mamaroo. This month I'm going to try to start transitioning her into her crib for naps during the day since She's getting to that age where noises wake her up. I'm on the hunt for a good sound machine and baby monitor if anyone has suggestions! Fin sleeps great at night! Atleast compared to my other two babies she sleeps at night. She gets up at 3am to eat then goes right back to sleep. She wakes up again around 7 for a feeding then again falls right back asleep until 8:30ish. She is still sleeping in her bassinet that is in our room, we will probably keep her there for a few more months. </div><div><br></div><div>Eating: So the last time I think I updated on Finley's feedings was just when she was a month old and a lot has changed since then. At one month old she had lost weight and only weighed 6lbs 10oz. We were advised to start supplementing and to see a lactation consultant. The doctor was very concerned with her health especially with being preterm and losing weight. Long story short- fast forward to today and Fin is strictly bottle fed. Baby is happy, mama is happy and more importantly she was up to 9lbs 10oz at 2 months old. That's all that matters. She eats around every 3-4 hours and loves her como tomo and Nuby bottles. On a side note: it's been over two years since I wasn't pregnant or nursing and this mama is stoked to have her body back!!</div><div><br></div><div>Milestones: 3 months old is my absolute favorite age for milestones! Guys...she has learned to smile. Just when you think it can't get any better, they learn to smile! She <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">rocks tummy time and goes from tummy to her back every time. When she's on her back she rolls to her side and is trying to learn to go back on her tummy. She also can sit in her bumbo for short amount of time. She still has her witching hour around dinner time before bed but other than that she is the happiest baby you've ever seen. You will only hear this girl fuss when she's tired or hungry and she is basically all smiles when she is awake. Such a content little thing. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The boys LOVE their baby sister. Ryder is always watching out for her making sure you do the correct amount of scoops of formula in her bottle or making sure no one steps on her when she's on the floor. Gage is always making sure she has her lovie and binky and asks if Fin is awake before playing with loud toys. You guys, my heart is so full!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We love you Finley girl! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">And now on to a million pictures of her because I just can't get enough.....</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXAOrkz48ou_PzYdqy9dMARRGENHHLAPRkrtrIiRh1-HxnbCGG5auOPspjVm3J1_NlUTvPyb4gXta-ALnZGhxIbbYTdo9NtHZEeFkNjR9CqnPkY3Epy8TJrd4aUhngI49oCb9lefScqZzk/s640/blogger-image-804286799.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Every year I say the same thing about Halloween...but this one was the best one yet! The boys are both big enough to really enjoy it and Finley just snoozed away in her wrap. The days leading up to the big day we painted pumpkins, slept in spooky jammies and had Hocus Pocus on repeat {seriously you guys....I am so over that movie now!} </div>

Halloween Eve was super rainy and washed all the paint off of Ryder and Gage's Pumpkins, but I am happy to report that the clouds cleared and the boys didn't totally lose their minds when they saw them.</div>

This year Ryder was Optimus Prime, Gage was Bumble Bee and Fin was a little kitty. I'm hoping that next year I can think of a fun theme for the whole family and have all of us dress up together. </div>

It was so nice letting Ryder and Gage run up to the doors all by themselves as we watched from the sidewalk. I did wave and mouth sorry to the houses that Gage rang the doorbell a million times or took an hour deciding on which candy to pick out of the bowl. But they acted like it was Christmas morning after each house they left. Seeing a Holiday through a child's eyes is the best thing ever. <br />
<br />
Now that Halloween is over I'm trying really hard not to be that person who throws up their Christmas tree...like I usually am most years. I did however pull out our Christmas jammies...let me live a little okay! But for the most part you will only see a few Christmas posts sprinkled throughout the month until after Thanksgiving...Unless I go weak and give in and I will go ahead and apologize in advance for that now. :)<br />

If there is one thing that is very apparent after having baby number 3, it's that we are very outnumbered. And if there is one product that I would recommend to any expecting mom, it would be a baby wrap. These things are a life saver and I never leave the house without it. I wear Finley basically wherever we go so I have two free hands for Ryder, Gage and whatever else I might be wrangling at the time. They also help with colic/acid reflux and you can even breastfeed discreetly in them.</div>

A couple weeks ago we headed to our local pumpkin patch and our <a href="http://www.happybabywrap.com/">Happy Baby Wrap</a> in <a href="http://www.happybabywrap.com/shop/lightweight-baby-wrap/?color=Ombré">Grey Ombre</a> tagged along. Happy Baby Wraps are organic, super soft, lightweight and breathable! They aren't bulky or have a huge amount of fabric so I am able to keep it in my diaper bag for whenever I need it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The boys went nuts at the pumpkin patch with the hay rides, corn mazes, apple picking and of course all the pumpkins to choose from. It only took a million hours to find the right pumpkin, all of which Finley snoozed through. The Apple Cider donuts are the best part about this pumpkin patch and I was only <strong><em>slightly </em></strong>embarrassed when I noticed Fin's head was covered in sugar after downing way too many donuts.</div>

Not only do I use my wrap while I'm out running errands I actually use it a lot at home as well. Fin has her witching hour right at dinnertime and bedtime hustle where all she wants is to be held so the only way I am able to cook most days is if I wear her. Not going to lie...I don't mind it one bit!<br />

It's so sad when babies grow out of their wraps {they support up to 25 lbs though!} I might stuff Fin into her wrap until she head's to preschool. Until then, I'll cuddle this little peanut on my chest as much as I can. </div>

Just me? Well today was one of those days. Those really hard days that show up every once in a while and make you question everything you know about being a parent and how you handle life in general. Those days where you are surrounded by people but yet you still feel so alone. <div><br></div><div>The loneliness kicks in at 3 am when you're up for the 10th time with your sick 2 year old. When you are nursing your newborn baby <b><i>again </i></b>at 4am while you're husband sleeps peacefully next to you. When you spend an entire night making your rounds from one kid to another each needing something different. When you feel the walls closing in on day 3 of all sick kids and you haven't left the house in who knows how long. When you're at your wits end and your husband calls to say he's working late again. When you feel like all you do is change diapers, wipe noses, break up fights, make snacks, change clothes, watch cartoons and play candy land for the millionth time in one day. Are there any adults out there?!</div><div><br></div><div>Motherhood is hard. But it's not suppose to be easy. After all, tiny little humans rely solely on you to care for them and shape them into decent human beings. There's nothing easy about that, which is why it's labeled the hardest job in the world. And those days, those really hard days that pop up every so often, are good. At the time it doesn't feel that way at all. It feels like you're drowning and just keeping your head above water seems impossible. But if the hard days never came, you wouldn't be reminded about all the good days. The days where you get all three kids ready and out of the house on time and felt like a freaking rock star. The days where your little boy rides his bike for the first time. When you all play candy land and your 2 year old wins and thinks it's the best day ever. When your 4 year old makes something very special just for you at school. The hugs you get when they've missed you. When your baby smiles at you for the first time. When they say please and thank you and you realize maybe you aren't messing this up. The days where you just sit back and stare at your life thinking how did I get to be so blessed. Those kisses, hugs and little giggles are all small reminders that even though our job is hard - impossible at times, it is so worth it. </div><div>So when your very hard day is coming to an end take a deep breath and hold those sleeping babies tight. Because tomorrow is a new day and it's going to be a good one. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgahG95MezZ8aUnup9hGF7bEZny7eAzZqY5eSKPxVMuuDXmtZDLgbREohnIHfHHoP92QIviU_cy6y2ZIrXbw368cN0Pcn-yM30WiISI1FbbEDmhuxIGDyE4tvPl13hEN5doMjpY2StbYocy/s640/blogger-image-1775477146.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgahG95MezZ8aUnup9hGF7bEZny7eAzZqY5eSKPxVMuuDXmtZDLgbREohnIHfHHoP92QIviU_cy6y2ZIrXbw368cN0Pcn-yM30WiISI1FbbEDmhuxIGDyE4tvPl13hEN5doMjpY2StbYocy/s640/blogger-image-1775477146.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15845635147353171137noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6068090687538902736.post-89242488378108119392016-10-02T12:38:00.003-07:002016-10-02T12:38:27.982-07:00October<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

With the weather being so amazing, our favorite thing to do as of late is to pick up a salted caramel coffee and head for a long walk by the river. Ryder rides his bike, Fin snoozes and Gage collects as many colored leaves as he can find. It wears everyone out and makes for such an easy bedtime. I am not looking forward to being stuck indoors all winter. Soon snow cover these trails and we'll all have cabin fever before you know it. But if you ask the boys, they are ready for snowballs and snowmen. Until then, I'll take this view any day of the week. </div>

Happy Fall everyone! Mother Nature is celebrating by bringing us 80 degree weather yesterday and 50 degree weather today, Fall thunderstorms are my absolute favorite. With today being the first day of cold weather I quickly realized that no one in this house has the right cool weather clothes. Since I was pregnant with Fin in the Spring/Summer her closet is full of warm weather clothes and apparently our boys decided to grow over night and not fit anything they own. So, today I am celebrating this amazing Fall weather by doing some shopping and I thought i'd share with you a few of my finds... </div>

Ryder & Gage are pretty easy to shop for. Old Navy, Gap, Zulily and a few small shops are my go to for them. As you all probably know I love matching the boys! Except Ryder is now in Boy t-shirt sizes instead of Toddler so matching them is pretty difficult. For Gage I just snagged him a few <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Foldnavy.gap.com%2Fbrowse%2Fcategory.do%3Fcid%3D37195&pid=uid336-31956844-66">long sleeve tee's</a> from Old Navy and a couple vests including this <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Foldnavy.gap.com%2Fbrowse%2Fproduct.do%3Fcid%3D1020571%26vid%3D1%26pid%3D293626002&pid=uid336-31956844-66">quilted canvas vest.</a> I have to say that I actually love style of the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Foldnavy.gap.com%2Fbrowse%2Fcategory.do%3Fcid%3D36097%26scrollTo%3Dproduct275457012&pid=uid336-31956844-66">bigger boy shirts</a> over the toddlers, including this <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Foldnavy.gap.com%2Fbrowse%2Fproduct.do%3Fcid%3D97747%26vid%3D1%26pid%3D275457012&pid=uid336-31956844-66">Baby Blue Henley.</a> Gap is my favorite place to buy jeans for them and their <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gap.com%2Fbrowse%2Fproduct.do%3Fcid%3D1038896%26vid%3D1%26pid%3D230860002&pid=uid336-31956844-66">1969 Slim Jeans</a> are my go to denim.

The chilly mornings wrapped in a blanket with a hot cup of coffee and the crisp fall evening's surrounded by a fire are my absolute favorite. A quick drive up the canyon to collect colorful leaves and relax in a hammock surrounded by the people you love is just good for the soul. The mountain's right now are so beautiful! Full of orange and red color and the best fresh air you could ever imagine. The beach is fun and all, but I'd choose my mountains over it any day of the week! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLpFkrg8-q30QEUKtph7o1R6B9b5z9OchN3Hnwvkly6P7G7KMQ8iMAEi2gknUARlrbu82iBypPFJ5cXrc6L9bR3eaunUntEhDCUP5iN6PQpFgqBSFdn5pmpQfOlvoP5xMV0gUqvomdgS9m/s640/blogger-image-1861541130.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Little miss Fin had the opportunity to preview the design "Skate Grip" inspired by the gritty metallic grip tape on the top of skateboards. They are a two tone moccasin; a gorgeous black glitter/metallic on top with a lime green/yellow on the bottom. So cute for boys and girls! <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I love the pop of color on the bottom and the metallic top is just gorgeous in person.</span></div>

It also is one of the hardest day's in motherhood for me. I took her to the doctor because I noticed she is having a hard time nursing, wasn't having many wet diapers and was super fussy. Turns out she isn't getting much milk due to her nursing issues and has lost weight. She is down to 6lbs 10oz. She was 6lbs 11oz at two weeks old so she should be weighing a lot more than that. You guys, my heart broke. I have one job....feed the baby! So I will be meeting with a lactation consultant to fix her latch but have to supplement in the mean time. She is just so little and I am ready to put some meat on her bones. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgu9i1QjwQ8ASkxNFv5nBzBs1Gou-bVTXxJxPs1fgg1K6aY-Hk_4G7N2hcqLhS_VCoBCdZvliDMAGqfnMMHol1qQszgPwjOHqTU7i4zS6J7uHz77wYvysHraorX7WtFZq0kPCqDt7Cr8ee/s640/blogger-image--498215124.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgu9i1QjwQ8ASkxNFv5nBzBs1Gou-bVTXxJxPs1fgg1K6aY-Hk_4G7N2hcqLhS_VCoBCdZvliDMAGqfnMMHol1qQszgPwjOHqTU7i4zS6J7uHz77wYvysHraorX7WtFZq0kPCqDt7Cr8ee/s640/blogger-image--498215124.jpg"></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_O6nIpFUYS0onKAsCBO4lYMQ4XbcgkuJooJfCHG101-KsCTHCdC-H4NbPW_rlXjDTfnTGF9uzJt0HSyaDh25LLYE-3fbKgNytSmTyyUDXZV6onoGpsHz55tzkCXCSD2nyBbehZlhBpshf/s640/blogger-image--1849070370.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_O6nIpFUYS0onKAsCBO4lYMQ4XbcgkuJooJfCHG101-KsCTHCdC-H4NbPW_rlXjDTfnTGF9uzJt0HSyaDh25LLYE-3fbKgNytSmTyyUDXZV6onoGpsHz55tzkCXCSD2nyBbehZlhBpshf/s640/blogger-image--1849070370.jpg"></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ13N6YyahUnzdO9rNQc-rHD1m0Qel_d6a6OQD0d7vAMn5SxD7dzyzeDuPIL7whRs5P2fQ5MTJ432beP85jliWDlXmfeVO-BPc9EA2yXqk_-NEYYvPzAOynILPcNm4pGzgW_LHLS1lldQt/s640/blogger-image-1741048882.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ13N6YyahUnzdO9rNQc-rHD1m0Qel_d6a6OQD0d7vAMn5SxD7dzyzeDuPIL7whRs5P2fQ5MTJ432beP85jliWDlXmfeVO-BPc9EA2yXqk_-NEYYvPzAOynILPcNm4pGzgW_LHLS1lldQt/s640/blogger-image-1741048882.jpg"></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Now that she has a full belly she is just the happiest baby.

Everyone that gave me advice said going from 2-3 had been the hardest transition. Someone even said having a third baby was like you are drowning and someone throws you a baby. I was terrified! But it actually has been the easiest transition yet. To me, it's not much different than having two. Granted she is only a month old and really doesn't do much right now so ask me in a couple of months. So if anyone is nervous about adding a third baby, it really wasn't that bad for us! That being said...no more babies for us. :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEO2euj8-FClgGut8bgIvpp8LG18D8Ii2Yz0Cy9qcB3pU9Rr6L5FA439glzNLyhPrmEo09ZjVNKddj0iPQHe5BiprQSti05P9lqDckCVBkoj4uhiZ4t82quskt58aUXYmDWLbA2rAMnk9D/s640/blogger-image--782136637.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEO2euj8-FClgGut8bgIvpp8LG18D8Ii2Yz0Cy9qcB3pU9Rr6L5FA439glzNLyhPrmEo09ZjVNKddj0iPQHe5BiprQSti05P9lqDckCVBkoj4uhiZ4t82quskt58aUXYmDWLbA2rAMnk9D/s640/blogger-image--782136637.jpg"></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I have some fun stuff coming to the blog soon!

Hello Friday and Happy September everyone....the unofficial start to Fall. Despite the warm weather the leaves are changing color's in the mountain's and we are so close to all things Fall that I can taste it. I woke up yesterday morning and happily pulled my Pumpkin Spice Life mug from the back of my cupboard. For those of you still hanging on to the last bit of Summer, I have yet to get a PSL from Starbucks so don't completely hate me okay?</div>

Both boys have colds which has me extra paranoid with a 3 week preterm baby in the house and if I thought I wasn't getting much sleep with a newborn, you should see me with two sick boys plus a newborn. <i style="font-weight: bold;">NO ONE </i>is getting a wink of sleep in this house. Tyson has been super busy at work which has him working late leaving me solo with the kids and his work phone ringing all hours of the night. Send help....or coffee....or both. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Fin's due date was yesterday which means she is almost a month old! She is doing so good and is a pretty chill baby unless she's hungry or tired. She has hit that gassy/ colicky newborn phase which we all dread but I started taking probiotics and giving her gas drops which has helped. Most nights she only gets up about 3 times to eat then falls back asleep pretty easy. She does however love to sleep in our bed which neither boy liked and I do find myself sneaking her in our bed a few times a night. I secretly love it, Tyson however does not.

I don't know if it's because she was pre term or if I just don't remember newborn's being this sleepy but she literally is never awake other than to eat. She gets a little fussy close to bedtime but otherwise I am waiting for the day the switch flips and she hits the stage where she cries non stop. But for now it's eat, sleep, poop, repeat. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Breastfeeding is going great and she eats about every three hours. I still have a big over supply just like I did with Gage but the engorgment phase is starting to go away and my body is figuring out how much she needs. I refuse to pump to relieve the soreness and I think that has actually helped get my supply in order faster. She only nurses on one side each feeding for about 15 minutes so having an over supply definitely has its benefits. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When we left the hospital she weighed 5lbs 14oz and three days later she was back up to 6lbs 1oz.

So far there hasn't been any jealousy or anything but like I said she basically just sleeps leaving me a lot of time to spend with just them.
