Well you can probably guess from the lack of posts what has happened. I have been busy in the real world with my family. I will start posting pictures tomorrow. I'm sure you can't wait to see Davis and his blessing day!
I have not spent a lot of time on the computer lately. Really I have not spent very much time doing anything considered non-vital! I've had a hard time understanding why I can't get everything done that I used to. Last year I blamed it on the pregnancy and how horrible I felt. So what is my excuse now that I'm feeling good, I'm getting sleep and the three older kids are in school?
Well that question was answered when I ran into friend, well she was in her minivan sending her daughter into piano lessons and I was running my daughter out to my waiting minivan full of kids, so that might be considered a drive-by. Anyway, she asked me how I was doing with four kids now. She has four also so I was not afraid to tell her the truth which is, crazy but not as bad as I thought. She casually mentioned that she has found she has so much more time on her hands now that she is not nursing her youngest.
I had a light bulb moment as I calculated how much time I spend sitting doing nothing except nursing Davis. If I had all those minutes free I would be getting so much more done!!! Why had I not realized that on my own. Probably because I'm pretty hard on myself and think I should be able to get everything done and done well. Not true anymore. So for a moment I thought the solution would be to start Davis on a bottle....
then I remembered that this is only a short time in my life that I will NEVER get back.
So I'm going to go kick my feet up, feed my son and watch the laundry, dust and dishes pile up. Those things will always be there.

It's hard to remember but SO TRUE Katy! Before you know it Davis will be running around and you won't have that baby to cuddle and feed anymore. We all put too much pressure on ourselves to get it all done and done well. I've had to lower my standards big time with three. But I really am enjoying Kole so much more because just like you I know this is only a stage and one that will go by too quickly...
BTW - you need to tell me what you called about that was so funny!!?? I was out of town and just got your message yesterday.
This is the wisdom that can only come with having multiple kids and with growing older. When you have your first and even your second you think you still have to keep up your normal schedule and that you need to rush things.
But you have learned that your baby will grow and he won't want you to hold him much anymore and you're going to want these times to reflect back on. And you're so right about the dishes and laundry. ALWAYS there!
You're doing a great job!
