Could Life Get Any Better

Seriously? This is the total life! I am absolutely love love loving being a mom of 3. I have to say that I have been so worried about being on my own with all 3 and managing meals, nap/bedtime and nursing. I knew I would figure it out and I also know I will have my challenges but God has been good and given me a great entrance into the world of 3 kids. I went to the aquarium with the kids on Monday which would officially mark my first day with the kids on my own but I cheated and had a sitter come and help me. We got the the aquarium with the double stroller and Lola who never requests to ride in the stroller asked to be pushed - and stayed there almost the entire time. Lucy looked at me and said "Mom, I love you, can we just hold hands" and Hank slept the entire trip into town, at the aquarium and didn't wake until I had dinner on the table for the girls at home. Dare I say I could have done it without the help of Emily the babysitter? Not sure but it went really well. Today was just as good. I think the girls know that I need them to be helpful. They came home from Mother's Day out which was my first time to pick them up with Hank and they were awesome. Walked straight to the car after showing their teachers their little brother, which I was so excited they wanted to show him off. Sang songs the entire ride home, then we colored until dinner time. We played and they are all 3 fast asleep and it is 8:00pm! I have even managed to do a little laundry. I just have to say this is so much fun and although I am still recovering from Hank's birth I feel so great. Lola and Lucy are great buddies and are entertaining each other so well. There is nothing better than being married to your best friend and being blessed by amazing children. I want to bottle this time in my life!
