three kids = some caose!

so looking back on Monday night I can laugh now but I felt a little teanse at the time. My brother had stopped by to see the baby and she was going through a little time of wanting to nurse all evening. so trying to give her the binki was a joke. My brother was holding her and I had sent Colton back to get on his PJ's. I walk back to check on him and as I round the corner he Vomit's all over himself and his PJ's in his hand. then Clay, sitting right next to Colton, says "brother??" and then just breaks out into tears and hysteric's. It scared him so bad to see Colton get sick. then Isabel starts into a good cry for mommy. David and I just looked at eachother and didn't know who to help first! so he took the boys on and I grabbed the baby. soon all was clean and calm, but wow I for the first time felt like I didn't have enough hands! I'm glad David was here or I would have sat down on the floor and joined the crying! so we have had a few of these type of moments this week since both boys are sick. I guess God just wanted to break us into this "parents of three" thing hard so I feels easier next week when I'm all alone? oh well the boys are ajusting well if they could just get feeling better. and the baby is giving me some sleep at night. good girl! Happy Valentines Day!

my baby
















well I am just falling more in love with little Isabel every day. she is a great little baby so far. we had one bad night of two hours of sleep for me, but she redeemed herself last night and only woke up once! wow I felt like a new me this morning. but on a down note both the boys are sick now and that is challenging to deal with when you can't physically discipline them or pick them up or any of the needed actions of a mom. having a c-section is hard to go back to normal life the first two weeks. I can't drive, lift, cough, pick up laundry, bend over or anything straining to my mid section. just everyday things put more strain then I ever thought on the incision. so on a good note I have my mom to help, but a bad note is she is sick. so I am just praying that Isabel and I don't come down with it or the recovery will be a bit longer! we have had some wonderful people bring us some meals and that is a huge help at the end of a day. well I am off to bed!
