first bath


when my first two children got their first bath.... it was traumatic.
screaming, crying, fits of rage from our precious newborn. as a new mom i thought i was torturing them..... my heart clenched with guilt. it took three adults to manage both boys first bath time.

this bring us to child #3.
this baby... while beginning to be trouble at night - did not make a peep.
we did not utilize the third adult (mimi) before she left and had quite the audience of little people that thought they were being helpful.
she grunts and groans all night long making sleep a bit elusive, but while getting her first bath..... she tolerated the whole thing.

we also have a new cousin (born on tuesday)......welcome to the world baby luke. she will always have a playmate when we visit florida.... cousin #11 is due in three weeks. i am sure that one day we will call them the three musketeers....

She is beautiful. What a good girl. Night time duty is what grand mothers were made for. G'ma will be on her way, then Mimi not too long afterwards. You guys are old pros now.

Look at you juggling three little ones AND blogging about it!! You are amazing!! Let me know when the newborn fog has lifted so I can give you a call and we can catch up. (It's okay if it's several months from now...I'm pretty patient with everyone else but my kiddos. ;)

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
