New Baby!

Well here he is, my beautiful new boy. I didn't realize how much time got away from me.

Colin is already almost 4 weeks old. We had a beautiful labor and delivery. I can tell you from experience now having three kids under three is nutty. Just nutty.

Our middle child isn't walking yet, so it's almost like having twins and a 2 year old. I find the hardest times are when Colin is crying because he needs to be fed and I have to nurse but still keep an eye on the other kids.

So far we are managing to keep our sanity just barely. But certain things have to go the way of the wind. Take housekeeping for example. That is out.

So far the baby isn't sleeping yet at night. This makes watching the other two and working during the day a challenge. My goal right now is to get little catnaps in during the day or night, an hour here and there.

Fortunately when my husband is home, he can give the baby a bottle in the morning so I know I will get at least one three hour stretch of sleep between 4 and 7 am. Sounds gruesome, but I am used to being up all night anyway. It's a good thing I am such a horrible sleeper!
