Well, since this last couple of weeks has been filled with one sickness after another I thought I would catch up. Not only do the 2 older kids and I have sinus infections and Cherry with Strep. But Lillie has become cholicky on top of her reflux. I spend every night from about 8pm to 1 or 2 am standing and bouncing and rocking her and nursing her. I got a breast infection that got so bad I passed out in the kitchen yesterday and woke to Cherry shaking me. It was a very scary moment being alone and having that happen. So I grabbed the 3 kids and went to the doctors. Who wanted me to go to the ER, but I refused. So after rehydrating and getting tons of meds I went home. I am feeling a little better today but still pretty out of it. It amazes me how these things just creep up on me. I just get so busy with life I forget to take care of myself that way i guess.
James is super stressed with work. He works so much and we hardly ever see him. It is hard but it is needed. We try to make sure he knows how grateful we are for him and that he is so willing to work so hard for us. I love when he comes home and the kids get so excited, even though it's 9 o'clock! And the way his face lights up when he sees them. And the love he has for them and our new Lillie. He just loves to see her when he gets home. I can't imagine only seeing my babies wehn I say goodbye at 5am and to say goodnight at 9pm. For 5 days straight!
So I try to do all I can to give him less to stress out about when he comes home. Spending almost $400 in 3 days between doctors visits and rx's doesn't help! My good home cooking will fix that right? :D LOL! I think I have been doing a good job of balancing being mom and cleaning and all that goes with it. There are definite rooms for improvement but I am working hard!
So anyways... Life is definitely flying too fast. At least for me. But in some ways I guess that is good.
here is my catching up:
I don't take my heavy duty camera everywhere with me. And there are times I really wish I had just a nice hand held for quick picts, but I don't think I would be happy with the turn out. So I end up using my camera phone! And I finally figured out how to get the pictures off of it. So here is a long list of catching up on past events and random things.
Enjoy!

You are a mess girl!! I am glad everything turned out to be ok. That's scary when things like that happen and your all alone. You are a great mom! It's not easy balancing all of the usual with 3 kids you are awesome! Love you
I bet that was scary for Cherish to have mommy on the kitchen floor. I'm glad you went to the doctor. I really, really hope all of you will be better soon. If you need a moment to replenish your strength PLEASE drop the kids off at my house when you are in the area!
