I would like to send a Shout out to all the new members in the group!!
I am so glad you joined!!
To everyone:
I am sorry I have been on the MIA area for the last almost 2 weeks now, The baby has really made me redo alot of my routines that I was so used to. It made me rethink my days and redo all my to do lists, Now I am getting up alot more during the night and losing so much more sleep , That is why it is always important for us to get our sleep when we can Ladies! It is killing me now , because I can tell the difference on my daily todo's . The kids have seemed to help out lil more then before, but keeping them on task to pick up there room seems to be more frustrating then before. I am trying to make time for each one of the kids but it seems that Shelby gets the most of course being the newborn. I have got times worked out where making dinner alot earlier and reheating , is really helping. and having the oldest girl help with getting showers ready for the her brother and sister that are 5 and 6 , is helping as well. Laundry seems to be one step ahead of me this week , But I do have a extra person in the house that goes through twice as much as before. So taking deep breath , Pretty much all I have been doing is, feeding, cleaning, sleeping, trying shower when I can(lol) , rocking, cooking, did mange to make some cookies last night for the kids , and taking deep breaths in between. Hubby is working so much lately, It is hard when he is 24hour road service, only see him in the mornings before kids get up sometimes, and around 3am when he finally gets in, and if he is lucky he gets to sleep , or be home at 3am leave again at 5am on another call.
So lately been a lil lonely , but starting to get lil better. Could use some other grown ups to talk to it seems now. I will try and get on again this week , I have a doctors apt tomorrow for myself, Shelby went to her first today and she now weighs 5lbs 14ozs she is gaining weight which is great doc said they usually lose the first week instead of gain.
I will keep you all updated on everything, and post when I can, please add some ideas to the group , and keep posting about everything !!
talk to you all soon ,
Chrissy
thanks for all the congrats!! |

Chrissy,
It sounds like you have your hands full...I know what it's like to have a good size family...It can be very overwhelming, but I promise you it does get better..My kids are 16, 11, 5 and 22 months now..Glad to hear that Shelby is gaining weight..I haven't had any of my kids that little..Make sure that you do get any rest you can..I had to learn to force myself to take a nap when the baby was sleeping..Baby swings come in handy when you are trying to cook or get some laundry done. Don't be afraid to ask for some help..Us ladies seem to always want to do things ourselves, but we do get some help it is something we wish we would of asked for before,.That little bit of time that your husband is home, make sure that you let him know that he is still loved...Sometimes they seem to forget..Take care of yourself!!
Sincerely,
Michell |
