Still here
So, I apparently haven't posted in almost a month. How did that happen? How does time fly by so quickly? I wish I could catch it before it gets away.
Nothing too big has happened, nothing really blog worthy. Alex is about 2 months old (as of this coming Sunday). He's pretty awesome. He's settled into a schedule and is getting a tad predictable. But, I'll save this all for his 2 month post. He goes for his well visit on Monday, so I'll be sure to put his stats here.
Sara is freaking out a bit. Naps are such a struggle. She needs them, for she's miserable without them, but she just fights them. Maybe I'll cut one out and just keep the afternoon one. I feel like Sara's biggest issue has always been sleep. She's a doll, otherwise. She's getting sassier by the second, though. She keeps me on my toes, that's for sure.
Emma...well, Emma is going to get her very own post a bit later on. So, I'm going to skip her for now. I will say that she's still very helpful and is maturing and is such a joy. She still has her moments where she's " a little bit shy", or she's weepy for no apparent reason, but she's a girl and has the mood swings to prove it. (Insert me saying that I fear the teenage years, for the 60 billionth time).
Jack. Jack is interesting these days. Very interesting. Never did I think that I'd sit here and say that my boy is my biggest issue. He's so sweet, and so loveable and very much the most amazing big brother. He's just having issues with listening and processing. I don't know if it's just a home thing, or a home and school thing, but I meet with his teacher on a couple of weeks, so I will find out. I do believe that a lot of it is change. We've had some big changes and I just don't think he's really used to it all yet. And, I also do believe that he needs some one on one Mommy time, so I'm going to set that up for the very near future.
There has been some form of sick in this house for weeks. We've all had it. I'm the last to get it. I'm currently nursing an ear infection. Yipee. Even the littlest was sick. It was pathetic, actually.
I've been horrible with taking pictures with anything other than my phone. I'm going to work on a photoshoot of the 4. The last one was when Al was teeny tiny. He's not so teeny tiny anymore.
I can't wait for the weather to break. I need to get out of this house and explore this neighborhood. I don't know anyone and that bums me out. Can't wait to make some neighborhood friends and get the kids out there to socialize and play with the other kids. There are SO many here. It'll be great for them.
I'm still trying to get used to being a mother of 4. I won't lie, it's hard. Not that I thought it would be easy, because I'm not that naive, but it's downright hard. Trying to be in 4 different places at once isn't working for me. I feel out of sorts because I haven't gotten into a groove yet. People say I'm their 'hero', and they don't know how I do it. Hah! I'm just trying to survive! I'm so grossly outnumbered, and discombobulated on a daily basis, I don't know which end is up. But, this was the way it was meant to be for us. I truly believe that. 4 kids is no joke, but those 4 kids are also the biggest blessing in my life, and I'm thankful for them each and every single day...even when I'm covered in spit up and dealing with 4 types of very different problems and issues, and I'm trying to keep my head from spinning. I honestly couldn't imagine it any other way.
This isn't the last you'll hear from me today...so, until later!
