Already have 800 girl names on deck for baby 3, but boy names are so much more difficult to come up with. Especially when you have 7 brothers, each with three names plus you’re a teacher. 🙃 Also am like 96% sure this baby will be a boy…

[Amanda M @amc_235]

Two short years ago I was wondering if I would ever have another baby after 3 losses in 7 months…then we got pregnant 2 months later with Silas and now we’re about to welcome our THIRD little blessing. Very emotional.

[Amanda M @amc_235]

Just up thinking about how lucky I am to be a Mama to my two perfect babies. Literally the absolute best thing that could have ever happened to me. My favorite part of life. Feeling so emotional 😭🤍

The snow makes me want to go hiking so bad 😫 About to plan a mountain trip

[Amanda M @amc_235]

When someone watching you teach tells you that you must be a really good mom 😭😭

[Amanda M @amc_235]

Honestly so proud of myself for BF two babies, especially when no one in my family did and I had to figure it out all on my own. 🙌🏼

[Amanda M @amc_235]

How is my first baby about to be THREE in a few days!?! 😭 My heart literally cannot handle it.

[Amanda M @amc_235]

Silas hasn’t slept in his bassinet in forever, but my heart can’t handle putting it away. Dk when he got so big 😭💔

First paycheck at my new job 😍😍😍

[Amanda M @amc_235]

Increased my salary by 1/3, reduced my commute exponentially, and get to work a position I’ve always wanted to. 😭🙌🏼 Here’s to new beginnings 🥂

Cover letters are definitely a scam.

PSA:stop forward facing your kids just because they turn 2. 😬They’re 5x safer rear facing.”But their legs..”are actually fine&I’d much rather my kid have a broken leg than spine. You can be the safest driver but you cannot expect the same diligence from others. Protect your kids

[Amanda M @amc_235]

Down another 5 lbs. 10lbs lighter than my original pre pregnancy weight (before Maya). Feeling pretty proud of myself. 🙌🏼

[Amanda M @amc_235]

3 months postpartum & weigh less than pre pregnancy 🙌🏼 just have to work on building back the muscle I’ve lost.

+ being in such a better mental state this time around that I can take care of myself

[Amanda M @amc_235]

Thank god this dairy free diet is helping the baby already because my sheer will power would not be enough. Seeing him physically improve motivates me so much more to keep it going.

[Amanda M @amc_235]

Day 2 of being back at the gym and being dairy-free..😩

[Amanda M @amc_235]

When your breastfed son has a milk protein sensitivity so now you have to change your whole diet for him 🫠😫

[Amanda M @amc_235]

Doing my baby girl’s hair. Telling me she needs two braids. The mom moments I’ve always looked forward to. 😭💗

[Amanda M @amc_235]

I’m very grateful to be able to afford to take my whole maternity leave but I really never want to go back to work. I just want to stay home and have/raise my babies 😭

[Amanda M @amc_235]

Took both kiddos food shopping by myself for the first time. They were very well behaved but I am exhausted now.
