Lately

It is amazing how quickly time passes when you don't want it to. When I did want time to go quickly, it dragged on and on. Now that I want it to slow down, it is rushing by. I can't believe my baby girl is 3 weeks old. I don't even know what I have done for the past 3 weeks, but I do know I have some pictures.

My Mom came to help the night before I was induced. She was such a lifesaver. She cooked dinner every night, cleaned, did my laundry like only she can, went grocery shopping for me, watched Aiden, watched Sienna and helped us in every way possible. I loved having her here and haven't cooked since she left. I am in denial. My Dad got here on Sunday and they both stayed til Saturday morning. It was so fun having them here, even if we weren't that exciting. Aiden loved having Dad around so they could wrestle. The boys also went to a Rangers game, went swimming and we all went to Babe's for some southern cooking. Thank you so much for coming, I love you guys!

Since they have been gone I have been adjusting to life with two kids. We have watched lots of movies, taken lots of naps and let housework and all other responsibilities take a back seat. We had a nice incident that involved Me, Sienna, and projectile poop, I will let you see the pictures for details. Aiden got a cold/cough and I did my best to prevent her from getting sick. It didn't work, she got sick anyway, but it hasn't been too bad. Sienna is such a great baby. If all big babies are this good, I hope all my babies are big. She eats really well, sleeps a ton and started sleeping through the night at 9 days. She has woken up once or twice, but I usually put her down around midnight and she sleeps til 7. I am pretty lucky, I know. I am loving life and trying to enjoy every moment along the way.

Holy Poop Batman! That is amazing! and oh, so yucky! but funny all at the same time! What a darling family--and I envy your naps. . . . doesn't happen with 5! :(

Sienna sounds incredible! After reading this post I've decided that I really need to ask my mom to come and help out next time around (even though we only live 25 miles away). What an adorable family.

I am so jealous that she sleeps through the night already! I hope my baby does (but I'm sure it is wishful thinking). My babies are big as well but neither of them have slept through the night at that age!

Cute cute cute. In the last picture I love that "puzzle time" is on the tv. We are very familiar with that around here. "It's like preschool on tv." Haha thanks for the pics, so fun to see your sweet little fam!
