As a mom I find I never, ever want to hear "that cry". You know, the one in the middle of the night that just tells you instantly something is wrong. Poor Jake woke up last night with a fever of 102 and telling me it hurts, it hurts. I didn't know what hurt and, at 19 months, he couldn't tell me. After a visit to the pediatrician this morning and a very long night, we have our diagnosis. It's an ear infection. This is only his second one.
Today is definitely a day when I feel I am doing nothing at 100%. I'm tired, Hubby is tired and the kids are wiped. I am at work, arriving two hours late and leaving an hour early so I'm not doing what I need to here. I am not home with my sick boy so I don't feel like I am doing 100% there.
I know this sounds like a whine but today, well today is just not fun.

Starting again...
I blogged to get through my infertility journey and it was a wonderful outlet. Now, I am back ready to try again to blog about parenting, working, dieting, marriage and family. I want this to be a place to journal the amazing growth of our two sons and hopefully a place I can network and gather advice from other mom bloggers as I go. The facts:
Me: 37, soon to be 38, battled infertility for years, got pregnant with Jake after 4 fresh IVF's and 1.5 frozen cycles. At this point, they said it would take science to get me pregnant again so the Mr. and I didn't worry about prevention. Low and Behold, Will came along when Jake was 13 months old. Forever blessed and amazed this happened. I hold a senior management position with a software company and I need to lose 40 pounds of which most I gained trying to get pregnant, not actually being pregnant (sigh). I struggle with feeling like I am doing any part of all of this at 100%, hence the title of this blog.
Hubby: 42, owns two businesses, excellent dad, who spend two days at home with the boys, also on a mission to lose weight (starting goal of 30, ultimate goal closer to 70).
Jake: 19 months old, happy, smart, witty, climbing, running, non stop monkey
Will: 5.5 months old, sweet, cuddle bug, always smiling and trying desperately to keep up with his big brother.
I hope to blog a few times a week and be entertaining. See you all soon!
