These days I blink and whole weeks are gone.
9 weeks...
And, now 10...
So far Lillian is the easiest baby ever. She cries when her diaper is wet. That is all. She sleeps. She nurses. She smiles. She is lovely, and she makes our lives just that much more so.
Of course, keeping up with three is waaaaaay more challenging than two, but it is getting easier as the weeks wear on. I guess that's the one benefit of the whole blink...blink...gone phenomenon. It creates a blur out of the hard parts so they don't seem quite so bad once they're over. Hmmm....probably the same mechanism that is at work in our heads when we forget the really painful parts of birth and decide to do it again...and again...and again. Amnesia seems to be common amongst mamas. Maybe that's why we take so many pictures. ;)
Speaking of (totally off topic) pictures. These two crack me up.
It was a case of monkey see, monkey do...
We're approaching a whirlwind season around here...an upcoming trip, lots of visits from relatives, a couple more birthdays, and all of the holidays. Oh, and then there's Lillian's yet to be planned baptism and us moving in a few months. Whoah. To be honest, if I think too hard about it I feel a bit of heart clenching panic. I'm trying not to get too caught up in the rush of it and to just breath it all in moment by moment. This is, after all, supposed to be fun. And, really, it mostly is....just so long as I stay focused on the present.
That must be why we take so many pictures, i'm too busy to remember anything!! I love looking at all your pictures, you have such pretty children, and they grow so fast!! I'll keep you on my prayers through all of your transitions, that they be peaceful ones.
ReplyDeleteI hope to add to our family, so hopefully my third will be easy like Lillian. She is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your kiddos. They are so stinkin' cute. Thinking with you in the busy, crazy wonderfulness of it all. Keep breathing. I feel you.
