Cool as Cucumbers

We no longer have any fever in our house . . . yippe!! I started feeling much better as soon as I started taking some medicine, too!!

My days are so jam filled with kids right now it is a bit overwhelming. Changing diapers is something that takes TIME, as I am trying to change 1, then change them all. Otherwise, I'm having a hard time keeping up with it.



Little Pete seems to be going through the terrible 2's at 15 months. He is super fussy all the time. I think it partly his teeth, but I also think the new baby is affecting him more than I thought. He definitely is a momma's little man, so I'm not sure he likes have to split his momma time AGAIN with someone new. He could handle sharing with Avery, but this new baby . . .no way!



I'm on the road to weaning Hailey and giving her formula. I have given it my best shot, but I can not keep up with her and two little ones that are demanding my attention. They just don't understand and basically it is taking too much time on my part. I feel that guilt for the twins about not being able to do as much with them, and I feel that guilt for Hailey about her not getting the best I can give her. But . . .I've come to terms with it and I'm moving on!



Finally today I'm starting to feel a little more settled. I'm not going to lie - it has been really rough for the past week. I'm starting to relax a bit more and feeling a bit more like myself again. I haven't called Pete yet crying today - so I feel that is a small victory! (hee hee) I'm trying to give everyone as much "mom" time as I can and I'm starting to realize that is the best that I can do! Now, my dirty house, stack of bills, and piles of laundry are another story . . .
