Bottoms Up!

He's excited too!!

1st Day of 4K preschool

 

 

Baby Girl is 4 Months!!

I wish I would have more pictures on here.  I'm not doing as good of a job recording her early days as I did her big brother.  I don't pick up the camera as much as I would like.  Hopefully that will change once Big Brother is in school and I have some more "baby time".

She had her 4 month appointment today. 

Stats

Weight:  11lbs. 7oz.  (5%)

Height:  23.75"  (25%)

Head:  16.25"  (50%)

So....little body, big head

It's more head for me to kiss!

Funny

Little Man and I were just cracking up when I showed him the picture in the last post.  

Baby girl has a hold of his ear :)

Update...

Thanks to my Mamma friends who have sent notes of support and let me know that I am not alone in my sinking ship :)  I also got a few calls of concern from my loved ones.  I am here to assure you that I am going to be OKAY!  But....I'm not going to lie, this is hard.  I'm out of my comfort zone.  I am challenged constantly.  The transition from 3-4 has not be smooth.  This is something new to me.  

-The piles of papers coming home from school

-The child that wants to nurse around the clock b/c I "think" she is having a growth spirt

(Meanwhile trying to keep another child from burning the house down)

-The demands of my challenging child while baby is screaming

-Keeping the peace between boy vs. older girls

While....cooking, picking up, laundry for 6, and making time for God and my friends.

I'm pooped.....really, really pooped!

But, this is a season and I will survive.

And I'm pooped....b/c I'm blessed!

Gotta go, Jonah screamed at me b/c his play-do creation got messed up so the catnap is over.

Baby calls.....

Fly in....fly out

We had a special guest for the day.  

Papa was able to jump in on a flight from Illinois to the Carolinas.  

He was only here from 9-5, but we filled it with fun. 

sinking ship

I feel like I should post a picture of a sinking ship and call the picture: Nicole. That is a good visual on how I have felt a lot lately.

YES I love being a mother and YES I chose this life. This really is a very good life. And YES God chose me to be Little Man's mommy. (He obviously has more faith in me than I have in myself.) I have been a mother for over 10 years, but I don't have a clue what I'm doing with him. I don't know what makes him tick. He makes me soooo tired!

So right now I am starting from scratch. Clean slate. New goals...new ways...and a few new rules. Please pray for Little Man and me.
