skipped

I feel as though there are some parts of newborn-hood that we have missed out on... lack of sleep is not one of those, but having a little bitty baby is. Courtney seems to have lept forward about a month ahead of what she really is. She is juicy and chunks, and so so sweet, again not so much at night, but at all other times! Brian has been calling her Baby Q, which I think is really cute, and he thinks is so clever. He is already practicing tough love on her, I am surprised he hasn't put her in time out! haha I love this man. He is so sweet with our kiddies, and the ONLY person they will listen to. Thank goodness for him.

the kids have been, i want to say "so good" but that would be a lie. They love ms. C, but they have come to a whole new level of naughty and ignore mom. It makes me very frustrated and lose my patience a lot. I love them to death, but I am going a little crazy.

I love me some swaddle!!
rooting on moms cheek.
milk drunk My sweet mother has been here since babe was born and has been a huge help. The kids have loved having her here and I love her being able to be with them, even though I am sure she is ready to scream like I am all of the time. It is hard enough dealing with them, and they are my own children, but to her they are someone else's kids. Oh mom, you are an angel. I dont know how laundry will get done, dishes will get done, sleep will happen, kids fed, bathed, read to, played with, or any kind of crafting done or meals cooked without you here. You will be missed so much. I have 3 full days left and I am taking FULL advantage of that. I dont know what I would do without you.

Courtney is such a doll! I love chunky babies. Chris and Mar had a tough few weeks after John came home...it'll get better!

Mom's are the best!!!!! I cried for a full 3 days before my mom left when Reece was born! And miraculously, everything continued like clock work after she left! So I promise, its overwhelming and tiring but you'll get back into the swing of things in no time at all!!!!!
