The past 6 1/2 weeks of my life have been chaotic! Good but chaotic! I feel like I can't keep on top of anything. I heard two different things about having 3 kids. First- some people said that 3 was the one that about put them under because you only have 2 hands. Second- that 3 isn't that big of a deal really not harder than 2. So far in our home the adjustment to having 3 has been easier for me than it was going from 1 to 2. I think it was harder when we had Gracie because it was hard to see how the whole thing was affecting Brooklyn. With Ella, Brooklyn and Gracie have each other. There have for sure been some behavior problems and issues but not too bad. I am tired. I don't remember being this tired with Brooklyn and Gracie- I guess I was able to rest a little more. Plus Sean did remind me that I am older too. :) It is also hard for me feeling like I am constantly putting Brooklyn and Gracie off. Somedays I feel like all I say to them is "just a minute" "in a minute- I need to feed Ella" "not right now" you get the point. But with the hard things there are the precious things- like seeing the way Brooklyn and Gracie love Ella, seeing the joy that a new baby brings to anyone around, the night feedings when it is just her and I, the smell of a new baby, the spirit that surrounds Ella, the way when I am burping her she will lift her head off my shoulder and look right into my eyes, Sean and Ella cuddling on the couch, seeing the first smile, and the way that you don't think your heart has anymore room to love and it grows and you love this new little person with your whole being. So so sum it up, life with 3 is chaotic but GREAT and I feel so blessed to be the mother of these 3 beautiful girls!!!
I love that Ella is flipping the bird in this picture! (haha)
This picture was to show how her hair sticks straight up on that side. It is so funny!
