Adjusting to Life with Three

We are loving our new little addition.  The girls are adjusting well, and we parents are trying to keep up.  Life is definitely more hectic, and also more joyful.  

For a week after the birth, Greg stayed home and took care of the girls and I. That week was a little bit of heaven. I got to stay home and snuggle my new baby while he managed the big girls.  We got great meals delivered to us every night from our church family, and so we were able to spend lots of time together celebrating being a family of 5! 

 

 Then my Mom came for 10 great days.  She helped me take care of everyone when Greg went back to work, and also helped me get my house back in order... doing the things that were neglected during my difficult pregnancy... scrubbing out my fridge, cleaning under rugs, sweeping the porch, cleaning out closets, etc.  She is the best.  I may be 33 years old, but I still need my Mom!
