Finding My Groove

Life has been a little crazy this week, but we survived!!  It was our first week back to reality after winter break and it's not as easy to get out of the door at 6:45 with three kiddos!  I'm still trying to find my groove.  This little cutie has been keeping me up at night.  He wakes up every two hours to eat... 11pm, 1pm, 3am, 5am, and 6:30am as we're rushing out the door.  He doesn't really wake up, he just sqwaks at me to give him food and he chows down!  He quickly drifts back to sleep, but I spend a good 20 minutes burping him or else he'll spit up everywhere.  He is also getting used to snuggles and will appear to be sleeping soundly, but as soon as I lay him down, those eyes pop open!  So he sleeps well, but this mama is sleep deprived.  Sleep is overrated anyway. :)  As soon as I actually get him back in his bed, I get about an hour of sleep before we do it all over again.

I'm glad I have so many helpers during the day. All five of us are showered, ready and out of the house by 6:45am!  Daddy is off to work and I have all the kiddos packed in the car heading to the High School.  That includes Owen's meds, tube feeds, baby fed and changed.  I kinda feel like a rockstar when we actually pull out of the garage each morning... on time!   I get a couple hours in the AM after dropping off Owen and the baby is taking a quick nap when I catch up on laundry, dishes and "damage control".

After school is my favorite time of day.  Kam loves to snuggle Logan for me so I can help Owen with homework and get dinner prepped.

Here are some 3 week photos of Mr Logan.  He has already outgrown all his newborn clothes so it was bittersweet to pack those away.

Owen, bless his heart, loves to help out!  He gets so nervous when Logan starts to fuss or "grunt" and rushes on to say "Mom.. do something quick.. he's not happy!"  He always asks when Logan is going to do something more than eat, sleep and poop.  Soon buddy.  Soon.

Life is good.  I'm looking forward to this weekend and we have ZERO plans.  I'm going to lounge around in my PJs, catch up on some much needed sleep, and plan my meals for next week.  I feel like I'm spread so thin these days that I forget to eat and then I feel crummy.  Then I get ravenous and binge on easy to grab foods... lets just say it's not doing this mama any favors.  Happy Weekend!!
