Our last month in a nut shell:
a crying, very fussy baby, 3 doses of zantac daily then onto prevacid but no real improvements, two boys packing and wishing they could head to grandma and grandpas' house, fishing . . . inside, lots of rocking and bouncing and bathing and crying, virtually no sleep, Greg's finals, a few days of warmer weather, a couple barbecues with friends, minimal picture taking, laundry, dishes, more laundry, many more dishes, bills, and still more crying.
It's been a bit stressful but Greg has been so helpful and encouraging! I don't want to be anywhere other than where I am right now, but being a parent sure is hard. I've just determined that if I don't expect to get anything done then I won't be disappointed. Believe it or not this has helped with my stress level tremendously. I just make sure the house is clean, there's a hot meal on the table when Greg gets home, laundry is done and the rest is history. Most days I just hold a crying baby or read books to the other two. Life couldn't get any more simpler and sometimes it couldn't be any more difficult. Grateful they all come one day at a time.
