FEELINGS


I am feeling so tired, but also so grateful! Little Levi has his days and nights mixed up worse than any of my kids. I am up all night with him...with hour intervals of sleep. I know it will pass and he will get better...but man, I am tired! Luckily Jared has been a true life saver. He decided to take the whole week off from work to be with the boys and to help me. He gets up in the morning with the boys and does everything from feed them, swim lessons, errands, dishes, cleaning up the house, bike rides, yard work...you name it! I am so grateful for him and for everything he has done this week. I love you Jared! By the way, is it really already Friday? I have to admit I am a little scared for the next week. I hope I can do this!

oh christine i wanted to look on here and see a post about how it is all easier than you thought and your energy has already been restored and yadda yadda yadda. this is what im scared of the lack of sleep and having to be awake for elizabeth during the day. i wish i was closer i would gladly come help! thats great jared was able to get that time off. ola mae really knew what she was doing raising her kids. i hope he figures out day from night. you would think with two boys running around all day he would figure it out.im worried grahm will be the same. . .he is calm all day and about 9pm he moves and keeps me up all night. miss you!love the new pics by the way:)

Congratulations Christine! One more little boy to add to your busy joys! He looks adorable and straight from heaven. Glad to hear it all went well!

three is not easy! i know you have lots of family, but if you need just call and trek over and let the boys play and you can catch some sleep, I would love to hang out with you, a good friend told me to call when I forgot my name, and I called! those first few weeks can be tricky. good luck

Congrats lady!! He's too cute! Isn't is great to have such incredible husbands? I don't know where I'd be without mine! Glad to hear you are all well and adjusting (somewhat!)Hope the nights go better!

I felt like 3 pushed me over the top a little and there were moments of insanity. Sometimes the baby just has to cry while you take care of the older ones. It is easier to have the baby cry then the kids pulling at your heals while you feed the baby.

Sarah Bowen said...

Congrats on #3! Glad you are all doing well and hope that you are surviving being a mother of 3 boys. Im sure you will adjust just fine! Take Care!

Christine! He's just so sweet. I need to come see him again. You better call me if you need some help this week! I am more than happy to come over and take care of your boys while you get some rest...I remember being so tired during those first few weeks with Stella - and I hadn't even been through the exhaustion of labor or giving birth - and she was my only child! LOL! Seriously call me if you need anything. :)

Oh Christine, I am so sorry. It stinks when you don't get enough sleep! All my kids have had their night and days mixed up. That is what I am not looking forward to the most! I hope he figures it out soon. We used to call our Levi little Levi too!

Tiffany said...

Christine I am so happy your little guy is here, he sure is a cutie. Blogging hasn't been as fun to do when there's a little one around to love on. Boys are sure lots of fun and we have both been blessed with good ones. Good luck with things, it will be fun to see him grow in pictures.

Lanae said...
