Holy Crap, I have 3 kids!
















If anyone was wondering, yes it is definitly busier with three than two. My house is not as clean as I would like it, the laundry doesn't get folded as quickly as it used to, and I have been cheating on cooking because I cooked and froze about thirty meals before I had Talia, which are pretty much gone now, so I probably am going to have to really start cooking now. For the most part it isn't too bad. Talia does have to cry alot of the time, but she is getting better about just sitting and hanging out for a few,but you have to catch her in the right mood for her to do it. Days seem to go alot faster because there is alot more to do now. I think you forget how much work newborn babies are and how frustrating they can be. But we are adjusting I think. Though Kayla has been saying in her prayers to bless Talia to not cry so much, and to help mommy do better with Talia, which I think is sad she has noticed this. But I am trying and were getting there. Hopefully, we will get in a better routine here soon, which if Talia would sleep for more than a half an hour at a time during the day, and more predictibly at night, that would help, but so for my attempts at trying to get her to do so have been unsuccessful. Lukily, Kayla says she loves her sister and likes to try and keep her company when mommy has things to do. Sometimes it actually works! Anyway, I am looking forward to Talia developing and growing a little more and making things a little easier on all of us. But she is fattening up pretty good and probably weighs about 11 lbs, and she is also smiling and cooing a little which is really cute. So I think as a mom with a newborn you just have to remind yourself why you did this, and remind yourself of the long road it took to get that baby here. The nine plus months of pregnancy and all the lovely symptoms that go along with it and of course the labor. I think for me it also helps to remind myself that our father in heaven saw me fit to have this child and he wouldn't have given her to me if he thought I couldn't handle it. Also when she is calm and just looking around I just look at her and feel so much love for her, so when she is screaming at three o clock in the morning I try to remember those moments and remind myself that it is all worth while.

I agree. Number three is a very big adjustment. Especially when they don't like routine. I'm not too far away if you need anything.
