At home with 3
So I have been home for 2 weeks now with the little guy. HOLY COW!! It is rough. Each time I have given birth, it's such an adjustment adding the new addition to the family. I don't think I have had all 3 kids happy at the same time today. At least one of them has been crying at all times. I finally thought to myself.....I need my own time out. So I went out on the porch for a few minutes. It helped :). My neighbor came over with her daugher to visit and said as she entered in....."how's the kids?" I said "See for yourself" with a smile. She then asked "What is WRONG?" I replied. "I don't know, they just don't stop crying today." When she came over, all 3 of them were screaming their eyes out. Five minutes before she came I thought I was going to loose it. Then the door knocked and it was her. She took my 2 older kids to her house and they were fine once they had a change of scenery. It has always been hard for me to accept help. I have a hard time swallowing my pride. I am grateful for my neighbors and where I live, because they make me accept it and help me everyday. On a lighter note, I have absolutley adored and loved our new little Levi. I have forgotten what a sweet spirit newborns bring into the home. Straight from heaven, you can feel their new little spirit so strong. I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to be a mother and learn and grow everyday....especially my patience :)
