18-3-2009 - 6 weeks & pics

My mood while writing this blog: busy...

Well we are offically at 6 weeks..My life is crazy!!!

Let me start off by saying I now have a new found appreciation for people in similar shoes as mine...Shoot I have a new found appreciation for myself. This stuff is hard! Of course after my hubby leaves...things are great...for a short period...:) Aiyana gets 2 ear infections and chest virus...after all my hard work keeping it away from Aidyn.....he gets it!!! Then ...as most of you expected...I get it! Aiyana was up Saturday night ALL NIGHT! Crying on top of it. I couldnt do anything for her....I knew it was an ear infection. "Mothers instinct" Sunday morning took her to her dr. and got meds....well Aidyn cant take meds so he is on pedelite (sp) saline spray ..up the nose and sucking his nose...(which he loves..LOL) Kids are doing better as of today ...but mommy wants to move to Africa..alone..lol

I totally under estimated my job as a mommy. I have NO time for anything it seems. I can barely pee, eat , do the dishes, take the garbage out ...nothing. Oh...but kids get fed, changed, showered, etc...Mommy is lucky if she can brush her teeth:) I realized today at 3 pm when I hadnt accomplished half of my to-do list ....gosh how am I gonna do this?!?! I have had to do dishes with a baby in the backpack, eat with a baby in my arms, shower with a baby on a bobby outside the shower...all with a 3 year old needing me. Now Im not down or sad by any means....but I have just had an entire body shock! I have medical bills, scrap books, cleaning and so much more to get to but I cannot find the time. You may think...oh when baby naps do it...No ...by that time...Im hungry, Aiyana needs something and the dogs need out or food. Dont let somebody stop by or call....I wont get it...LOL I told my hubby today "My life until he crawls is going to be INSANE" ...He is a great baby and isnt giving me a hard time...but they are so demanding...which you all know! I dont know how people do it with more than 2 or twins etc. I need a clone!

But on a positive note:)..Aidyn is now smiling ...a lot. Laughing. Crying with tears. He is also very responsive to my voice and especially to Aiyanas. He starts kicking and swinging his arms. He even talks with Aiyana. More than he does with me...(I guess its a sibling thing:)

So if any of you are feeling the same let me know..I want to know if Im alone. Ive really always been on my own with the kids but having 2 and one of them being a baby is a reality check..lol

Hope everyone is doing great ...and enjoying their spring break.
