Keeping the Wheels On....

Its Sunday afternoon and Amelia is watching Cinderella.  Daddy and Bennett are napping and I just finished stuffing announcements...maybe I will get them out by October!  Things around here have morphed into warp speed and we are hanging on and doing our best to keep the wheels on. 

Okay so its really not that bad, but wow....people are NOT kidding when they say your really learn some major parenting skills ( divide and conquer) when you have more than one!  I joke that I can have the house go from nuclear explosion to Martha Stewart presentable in 10 minutes flat now...come up with something (not saying it is the best thing) to eat in even less time, and sometimes do it with a screaming baby.   And give Jeremy props...he has got mad skills in the area too!!! 

Besides adjusting to the new madness or normal, whatever you want to call it, we have had a few changes take place around here.  One of the biggest ones is for me.   I am going to get to stay home with my nuggets !!!  I am beyond excited, a little nervous, and ready for the challenges that it brings.  I think I am most nervous about learning to cook!!! But I think I can manage. 

Bennett has been growing like a weed.  Big Man is already a whopper.  He is topping the scales at 10lbs...if not more by now.   I had to stop breastfeeding last week, little guy has developed a milk allergy and we had to put him on Soy Formula.   His rash...or blisters on his little rear immediately disappeared and his tummy was much happier.   However with the swap he has developed a little constipation, but that is normal when swapping to formula.   The doc said give him a warm bath and prune juice to get things moving.....so far so good.  

Miss Priss will be leaving her old day this week.   I am really sad about this.  They have been wonderful and she has made great friends and has had wonderful teachers.   She will be starting a preschool program in August that is 5 days a week just in the morning.  She is excited about her new school, but I think she might miss her old friends.  

I go back to the doc tomorrow for my 6 week check up and seriously cannot wait to be released.  The jogging stroller is calling my name.   I am a firm believer that exercising up until the last 3 days really helped me recover faster and helped get the weight back off.   I only have 3 pounds left to lose...however, there is still a good bit a firming and toning back up to do before things are back to where they are supposed to be (insert sarcastic laugh).

So that is it....Until next time......
