My big girl

So it's been I believe 3 days since we started putting Emma to bed in her big girl bed.. It hasn't been as painful as I would have thought it was going to be..

For the most part Emma is really loving her bed and never gives us a problem with putting her in there ..so the first couple nights she stayed in there for the night..although she did get up super early at least she stayed in there. Last night.. she was a little harder to settle down..she finally fell asleep.. got up and came and found me.. I took her back in her room laid next to her bed on the floor (6 months pregnant ...mind u) well needless to say as soon as she was asleep.. I snuck out of her room considering I couldn't feel my butt and it took me a minute to roll around to get up enough momentum to get my butt up (you can picture that if you want) but anyway .. I figured.. oh that was easy..nope it wasn't, about an hour later she was up again and refused to go back into her room, so of course I gave in, I am a sucker for the boo boo lip. 

So I let her sleep in daddy's recliner in the living room, her favorite sleep spot. I sleep in the living room.. because I "move" too much for Emma's daddy to sleep ... even worse when I am pregnant. 

Well recently I read a blog entry on a mom website about what makes "you" a bad mom..just a fun way to list things moms do that aren't "ideal" or stuff we always said we would never do and find ourselves doing on a daily basis.. So it made me think of the things I catch myself doing or allowing Emma to do that aren't always an ideal parenting tool , well things that aren't most people's idea of "ideal" ... I wanted to share these on Emma's blog so she can see how perfectly imperfect her mommy is :) 

I am a bad mom because.....

I let Emma watch too much tv. 

I laugh sometimes when shes being bad...because she's so darn cute. 

I give in A LOT... when I probably shouldn't

I curse too much...still.. I tried to clean up my mouth and sometimes can.. but the "jersey" in me comes out when I am mad or aggitated about something . (not that daddy is any better at cleaning up his mouth and he isn't from the dreaded "jersey")

Since I am pregnant and constantly tired I encourage more naps than I should , I am getting better with that now because of our new bedtime routine and big girl bed.. but I can obviously get better at trying to be active during the day though.

I don't always have the healthiest meal options for Emma to choose from and I give in if she wants only cheese for lunch instead of the sandwich I made her she gets only cheese. Or sometimes she wants cereal for lunch or a snack and I give it to her.. and sometimes it's "gasp" sugary cereal. 



And that's all I can really think of stuff that could be considering bad to some moms.. 


Emma and I just had some breakfast , she had cheese on toast and I had egg whites with spinach and toast. Now shes playing with her puzzles :) and mommy is trying to decide to whether or not to start cleaning yet lol 

Well til next time.. xoxxo
