Catching Up

So as you can see - I've been delinquent in blogging! It's not a bad thing - my time has been spent snugging any one of the three cuties in my life, napping, reading books, playing games and well to be honest - nursing!! :) I haven't had time to read, to blog, to catch up on email, run errands, to take baths or other things that I typically enjoy doing for myself but I know that time will come again before I know it.

It's amazing how I've been able to enjoy Norah despite the sleep deprivation, the lack of productivity around the house, and disappearance of free time. These were things that majorly overwhelmed me when I had Braden, were frustrating when I had Olivia and now just seem part of the ride. I know how fast they grow which I continuously remind myself of and how I'll miss this cute bundle someday. I know I'll look back and be glad that I didn't wish it all away.

Norah is a great baby. She loves to nurse, loves to cuddle and nuzzle her head in your neck and sleeps a lot. She is generally calmed quickly and is becoming more and more aware of her surroundings. She loves to look at her mobile on the changing table and can track your movement if you are looking at her.

Braden and Olivia continue to do very well. Olivia has attached herself to daddy more which is great for their relationship but makes me a little sad. I am just not as available as I used to be so she's turned to Steve. We still have our time in the mornings while Braden is at school which is special.

Braden loves school and is glad to be back this week. He is missing his buddy Evan who he is usually with each day in the afternoons but since having Norah things have changed. In February it'll be back to normal but for now Kristin has found alternate care to give me a break - bless her heart.

I'll blog some pictures from the past three weeks with small captions!! All three kids are napping so I may get a few done - we shall see. :)
