I survived.

Day 1 of being on my own with the kids. Nervous? Yes. Three kids going three different directions and only one set of hands….that should make anyone nervous right? I was either brave or crazy when I scheduled Teagan’s 2 week checkup for my first day on my own, but it went good. I begged Jason to not leave me alone with them, but he insisted he had to go to work. Not before he snickered under his breathe that the children would likely eat me alive though. Humph.

He’s a loud little baby, he grunts all the time. For no particular reason other than to just grunt. He’s taking after his sister in being born with dark hair, then loosing it to be replaced with a lighter variety. He’s a snuggler. It melts my heart when his little hand reaches up for my finger to hold onto while nursing. His favorite spot to hang out in the house is on our bed, he loves to sit and gaze at the artwork […]
