with all 3 kids for the first time today.
got the boys down for a nap, & for some reason val seriously objected to emma hanging in a bouncy seat while we were doing the nap routine. massive hysterics ensued, so poor em had to hang in a basket (not literally HANG, you know what i mean!) this obviously won't work as a permanent solution, so i'm going to have to figure something else out to keep her happy & safely in earshot while i'm with the dudes. i'm hoping val gets over his objection to the bouncy seat, since em likes the vibrations & while i hate to hear any of my kids cry, there's something especially wrenching about a newborn cry.
& why am i home alone? N isn't back at work yet. he has strep throat. (yay!) so he's off at the doc, getting some (more) antis & then doing some minor grocery shopping, bc altho we went yesterday, we are incapable of remembering everything we need in one trip. (yes, even with a list.)
so now the guys are snoozing & em & i are are having some girl time (i.e. she's laying on me working on a snooze, since she will not fall asleep anywhere but while being held.) i know you're not "supposed" to hold your baby to sleep, but whatever. they're only this tiny once & i love baby snuggles. plus, she sleeps pretty well when we lay her down once she's out.
(sorry this has been a boring blog. i'm just going to keep soldiering on with posts until this place feels like "home" in hopes that something interesting in the way of inspriation will pop up again.)
You are a brave mommy to have all 3 by yourself; esp since your lil girl is only 3 weeks old. You rock!
ReplyDeleteHow is your incision? healing well?

Sorry I had to giggle at the hanging out in a basket, the mental image I had was probably funnier then it really was.
ReplyDeleteYou are one brave woman, I will give you that!
Meh, Val will get used to it, I am pretty sure, it's all still new to him right now remember...
ReplyDeleteI always held Kae (and now of course ) Liam to sleep, you're right, they are only tiny once!
Yikes that sucks. I hope N feels better quickly! (for you and him! hehe)
ReplyDeleteYour not "supposed" to do a lot of things...but I'm pretty sure the list was made by people who never had kids. I sort of feel sorry for the babies who never get to fall asleep cuddling up with Mom and Dad.
