I survived...

the first week of being a mother of 3. The first two nights were a little rough, but bumblebee has since put herself on a schedule at night, so I am getting enough sleep. My only concern is time management. If not for the sweet volunteers who brought my family dinner this week, I am not sure what we would have eaten. This weeks goal is to figure out how to get everything done and make dinner for the family. I think I'll be using the Crockpot a lot more.

Here are the bugs with their birthday gifts from Bumblebee. (yes, we bribe our children to love their new sibling)

Miracle Gro picked this up after finding out we were pregnant.


She is too cute. I feel like I didn't get enjoy Ladybug as much as I would have liked (she grew up too fast), so I am really trying to enjoy every minute with Bumblebee.



Dragonfly has been a little apprehensive about holding Bumblebee (due to her size), so it took him a few days to even hold her. Giving him a task helped.


Sisters


Ladybug is always wanting to hold her sister and help out. She tells us "I love my sister".


Our Cute bugs!

Life has become a little more busy, but we are adjusting better than we thought we would.

She is Beautiful!!!!!!!
Dont try to get everything done. REST, enjoy the kids, REST, and dont have too many expectations of yourself or your household for awhile-REST.
Jumping from 2 to 3 children is much harder than jumping from 1 to 2 children.

I mean not that I have met them, but think they are adorable and cute in their pictures, and knowing you both makes me love them:)

my Mom told me after having Benson that you MUST take it easy for two weeks. I guess things like that are always easier said that done (like I could even imagine 3 children at this point). I also LOVE the tax deduction onsie!

I rested A LOT after having Dragonfly. After having Ladybug, I realized that I will never get the rest I had with the first. That is a one time thing. Luckily you feel better postpartum with each child (or at least I have). I have been getting an average of 7 hours of sleep at night so I feel pretty good.

She's beautiful! It does get a lot easier (the 3 kids). And I found I enjoyed #3 sooo much more than the first two, maybe because I had matured as a mother?? I've talk with other moms and they've said the same thing. So enjoy your little baby!

They all are so cute! Love the tax deduction onesie. Too cute and so Miracle Gro! I'm glad ladybug likes having a baby sister. Sisters are great!

I'm getting REALLY nervous about having 3 kids. I have 17 days until I'm due and the thought of having a baby around is so exciting, but I'm afraid my other kids will be a little neglected. Any advice? It seems like you aren't having a hard time adjusting at all!
