I don't have as much free time to blog these day (as I'm sure you can imagine!). I try to nap when the kids nap which eliminates that time during the day. Plus I am basically asleep on the couch by about 8pm every night. I know this feeling of exhaustion will get better soon but for now I am just getting by with doing only what's nessecary during the day! Tonight's an exception- I am sitting here waiting for my long overdo haircolor to process! I have a half hour to let it sit on- here is an update on each of us!
Breena
Breena has been struggling a little bit with seperation anxiety lately. I think the combination of starting preschool while I was in the hospital & having her schedule jumbled with Toby has really affected her. She has had a rough few days being dropped off at preschool- crying to come home with me. We are going to give her a few more days to adjust & if things don't get better we may be choosing to remove her from preschool this year. Other than that- she has been loving on her new baby brother every chance she gets! She is always willing & eager to help out with him- it makes my life easier!
Eli
Eli loves Toby. He likes to give him (not so gentle) hugs & kisses. I've noticed lately that Eli is really starting to mature a little bit more. He seems to understand simple instructions now & often chooses to listen. He is such a copycat. He tries to repeat everything Breena says! It is so funny to listen too! Eli is so unique & makes me laugh often!
Toby
Toby is so precious. He is so far a pretty easy going baby. He now weighs 7 pounds 10 ounces! He checked out perfectly healthy at his doctor appointment today. It seems like he may be starting to follow a bit of a schedule- he eats every 3 hours. He still naps often during the day & is usually sound asleep by 7pm. He wakes frequently during the night and insists on sleeping either in my arms or by my side. I prefer that he sleeps in the bassinet- but right now I am in 'survival mode' and I am willing to do whatever it takes to get some sleep myself! Toby completes our family perfectly.
Daddy
Dave went back to work last week. He has been swamped & working a lot of hours. I am grateful that he is willing to go to work so early (often leaving our house at 5:30am) so he is home by supper time. He is so great with the kids & has definately made sure to give Bree & Eli extra attention while I was recovering.
Me
I'm doing good considering I had a csection two weeks ago. I forget that I have physical limitations so by the end of the day I am pretty sore. It's hard to find time to rest & recover with three children under three years old! I'm slowly getting back into a routine. I have had my mom to help the past week and a half. She is heaven sent! I'm not sure how I could've possibly gotten through the past week without her help! Thank you Mom! I head back to work in a week & half. I'm not looking forward to leaving my babies but I need to get back behind the chair.
So that's how we are doing! Life is busy & crazy right now- but it's SO FUN! I love love LOVE having three children. I feel very fulfilled & complete!
