Well....I know this is long overdue but here I sit wondering where the time has gone. With the first kid it seems like life is in slow motion and nothing, I mean NOTHING, seems normal. Then comes the second and then the third kid and it seems as if time moves faster these days and I am astounded at how three weeks have come and gone since are precious newborns birth. I guess the other two kids make life seem more normal and I must keep going or we will all be in trouble. I find myself worrying not about the lack of sleep I am getting or how I am possibly going to feed this baby every 2-3 hours (which was all I could think about with my first!) but rather about getting S to school on time so she doesn't get a tardy because I know this would be a huge blow to her entire day. So far....no tardies!! Her teachers said she is doing great and they never noticed any changes in her behavior when Baby J came! By the way she LOVES school now and we see no more tears!! At home she is loving being a big sister and loves to gently rub J's back or head and give him sweet kisses. I am thankful that with all of the changes she has coped extremely well!! This is how S prefers to wake up in the mornings...snuggling with her baby bro!
K is also loving being a big sister however as we expected this newest arrival did rock her world a bit. It took exactly one week before we heard "I don't want to have a baby brother anymore". I wanted to laugh and cry all at the same time. We knew it was coming but it is so hard for her to understand. T an I sat and talked to her about it and reassured her that we still loved her just the same as before J arrived. She is doing better but she is still not crazy about J getting so much attention. She gives him hugs and kisses but they are much tighter and louder than J would prefer! K started her preschool the same day J was born and loves every minute. She goes three days a week and while we have to literally drag her sister out of bed in the mornings to get to school K can't get to hers fast enough! (S takes after her mom and dad and is not a morning person!) I asked K before school started, "What's more exciting starting school or getting a new baby brother?" Without hesitation she said, "Starting school!"
Baby J is doing well! He is a good baby and a fairly good sleeper. He has more good nights than bad so that is a blessing. My pediatrician told me at his 2 week check up, "You deserve a good baby." So I guess the Good Lord agreed and I am so thankful!! He weighed 8 lbs 7 oz a week ago and I know he has gained some since then. The Dr. said he should be around 6ft tall someday based on his height at birth. I don't know how accurate that is but if it's true I better make sure he knows the home rules and is fearful of the consequences before he towers over me!
