Where does the time go?

I know that I have been guilty of blog abandonment lately which I really hate but I can't seem to find the time. Holy crap 4 kids is way more than 3! I know there are some pretty amazing women who have 4 kids and are doing great but I am not one of them. I love my sweet Ella but wow can you say colic! My sweet baby has reflex and is so sad!:O( We started medication so we will see if that helps. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Recovery- I am now starting to feel normal. The UTI and Uterine infection are gone and I don't feel so anxious but still feel a little overwhelmed and urge to cry occasionally.

Nursing- I have nursed all my kids without to many problems. So whats up this time??? I have had two clogged milk ducts. There is nothing worse than half your boob being three sizes too big!
Sorry probobly a little TMI. I am headed to Good Earth to find a herb called Fenugreek to help stimulate milk production. I don't seem to have enough milk to fill up the sweet thing.

So needless to say the transition to 4 is still happening. I will let you know if I get my act together!!:O)

Father's Day!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY BIG DADDY!

I got this photo of the rare moment when Josh had the time to sit down and hold baby L for the first time in a couple of days. They had a true bonding moment while catching a few ZZZZ:O)
One of the biggest blessings in my life is to be married to such a great guy and that he is a father of our children. Josh Is the best dad ever. I love that he includes the kids in everything that he does. I love watching him teach them new things. I love that even though he is so busy he finds the time to still read with Preston a few times a week. I love listening to him sing to the girls when he puts them to bed. I love that he ALWAYS tells our children that he loves them! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! We LOVE you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MCKENA!!!!

MCKENA IS 4 YRS OLD TODAY!!!

SHE GOT HER FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD, AN E- PET!!
DADDY LEFT HER HER SECOND MOST FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD, A SNICKERS! BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS!
THIS MORNING MCKENA CAME IN MY ROOM AT 3:00AM AND SAID," IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!" I TOLD HER IT WAS STILL DARK AND SHE NEEDED TO GO BACK TO BED. SHE THEN ASKED " ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY?" SO I TOLD HER HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND SHE KISSED ME ON THE CHEEK AND WENT BACK TO BED UNTIL 6:00AM. WHEN SHE WOKE EVERYONE UP TO LET THEN KNOW IT WAS HER BIG DAY! I CAN'T HELP BUT BE TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH HER:o)

BLESSINGS!

I have been thinking today about how blessed I truly am. Today is Ella's 2 week birthday and I can't help but feel super grateful not to be pregnant and super blessed to have such a great family. I have a great husband that thinks I walk on water (SHHHH.. don't tell him otherwise), who would do anything for me, and even cleans bathrooms. I have the best kids who amaze me with their talents and capabilities. I truly feel inadequate in being their mom but grateful for the opportunity to try my best. I couldn't imagine spending my time with anyone else. Life is GOOD!

ADJUSTMENTS!

The conversation started out like this

Pam: Mckena what are you doing?

Mckena: Nothing

Pam: Are you playing in my make-up?

Mckena: I am getting pretty.

Pam: You are not allowed to play in the make-up. Put it away.

Mckena: That's is I'm runnin away.

Then she heads downstairs, gets her backpack and goes into her room to pack. This is what she packed.

When I asked her what she packed she proudly dumped it out to show me her clothes, socks PJ's and books. Then she carefully folded them up and put them back in. I asked her if she was going to miss me and she said yes. Then I asked her where she was going to go and her reply was to the woods. I told her we would all miss her and she said I know and put her backpack on and sat on the couch because it was raining to hard outside. About 5 minutes later she announced that she decided to stay.
That girl!!! I don't know what to do with her!!
