Josh ate every two hours ALL day.
Time flies when you're a nursing momma.
My mom came and took the kids to play outside for a while and that was refreshing for all.
I wish I could have napped but Josh wanted to eat and not sleep.
Tonight, Ben bathed, I nursed.
Sarah bathed, I nursed on the floor in the hallway.
Josh screamed while I got his jammies on.
Josh cuddled & fell asleep on my shoulder while I read to the kids.
We prayed, we sang, they all went right to sleep.
Hard day, but it ended well.
Let me just add, I don't remember being so hormonal. I could cry over the littlest things. Oh, wait, I do. Can't wait til' I feel some what back to normal.
I look like I am still 4 or 5 months pregnant. Ben has asked me if I have another baby in my tummy a few times.
We have been so blessed to have tons of help, so much food and niceness from so many. Having a baby is such a blessing! Sometimes it feels like a trial, but the blessings far out weigh! Zach has been a big help. He has stayed up with Josh at night, is doing the house work and taking care of the kids. He is back at work this week and he went to Bishopric meetings tonight. He has so much going on and yet carries my normal load with the lack of sleep. He's very good to me!
Josh is a total sweetie! Ben and Sarah are adjusting well. Sarah is acting up a bit, but she is such a cute little mom. She loves to hold him and she always says "hi Josh" and gives him kisses and rubs his head. Ben reads him books and holds him, sings to him and gives him Eskimo kisses. It is fun to be a mom.

You are a nursing momma!! Everytime we talk- your nursing again!!! You are a wonderful Mom and three is an adjustment. You are so good with all 3 of your kids... I've seen you. I know it seems crazy right now- but it does get better I promise! (then you can be like me and find out at 5 months your pregnant again!!!) I love you! You are doing well.
I thought you looked great!! (remember you only had your child a week ago)
I'm glad the kids are adjusting well, it will just get better. :)
Josh is so precious, I could just squeeze him all day!
oh what a blessing!! I so happy for your Skippy!!!
3 was an adjustment for me...your doing a good job! Hang in there! You have 3 sweet kids and you are a great Mom!
It's so sweet to hear about how the siblings love their baby. So cute. You are amazing! I love the stories on the side. They make me smile!
So, how are you doing with three? You are such an awesome mom! I get so emotional after I have had a baby too, especially when I'm breastfeeding. The tears just flow freely. Let me know if I can do anything!
