So let me just go ahead and apologize for not keeping up with my blog! Time just slips away and I really don't know where it goes. Right now at 2:45pm on Monday afternoon all three of my kids are sleeping. I have worship music playing and the house is completely cleaned! This is my "break" for the day. I should probably be sleeping as well to do some catching up on what I have lost. But so far today I have made 2 sugar free lattes and im fixing to have a 3rd one! This coffee has kept me on my toes!
So is being a mother of 3 hard you ask?? Well yes and no. For the most part the girls sleep all the time. Lydia is the crier. She will cry just to cry. Most of the time she just wants to be held, but as you can tell there are other duties in the house to get done as well. I only have 2 hands you know. But my sweet friend Krystal sent me a package with lots of goodies. One of those goodies was an infant carrier. You know the kind where the baby sits in front of you and you wear the straps?? Ya that kind =) Well today I discovered that its Lydias favorite new thing. It's great! I can carry her around and still do my chores.... And when Ava needs attention my hands are free. The girls have been doing very well with feedings... The other night they went to bed at 8pm and I didnt have to get up until 6:30am with them. If we swaddle them tight they sleep right through the night. Ava has had some mucus issues and my husband and i were almost positive that it was an environmental issue... Well the AC guy came out today to check on the AC b/c it hasnt been cooling down in the house and also we havent been able to find where the filter goes. Well the AC guy found the filter and it was NASTY!!! Hadn't been changed in ages!! That was probably our issue! We shall see.
Jadon is doing well. I have learned that I need to be more stern with him. As a mother I have a sweet spot with him. He is the 1st kid and holds a special place close to mommies heart. I give in a lot when I shouldnt and I let him get away with things when I should really be disciplining him. He is so well behaved with Anthony and loves anthony to death! But the difference between Anthony and I is that Anthony is stern and sticks to what he says. Jadon always knows that Anthony is being serious and Jadon knows that he can get away with things with me. Well not anymore.... And the last 2 days I have been doing good =) And Jadon still loves me. When I told him it was nap time today he got right in his bed and went to sleep.
Going out with all 3 kids alone is quite a challenge.... It wouldnt be so bad if Jadon were a little older but he is only 2 and when he sees that my hands are full he knows how to push his limits. I am busy feeding 3 mouths and changing diapers along with all the other chores I have to do and giving all 3 children the attention that they need. My girls are already 5 weeks old and I just dont know where the time has gone!
A huge disappointment this past week was my milk drying up. Come to find out, you shouldn't take birth control while breast feeding. I had no clue! And I'm really disappointed that Dr. Rashada failed to inform me. But I guess life goes on. The girls got at least a month of breast milk so I guess that is better than none at all.........
Well I will try and keep my blog updated as much as possible. Not only for those that enjoy reading them but for myself as well! lol I cant even remember what I did last week. So having a blog is a good reminder for me!
