We are officially the parents of three kids. I guess technically we have been for the last month, but not until  you are on your own do you believe it. Trying to tote 2 young kids, making sure the third is not getting run over by cars in the parking lot, figuring out how to feed one kid when the other one needs to be up and eat for school, trying to carrying two kids down the stairs, and my favorite, chasing the oldest down with the wooden spoon while the youngest is in the sling. (Yes, we spank.) We have done well lately. Ethan and I have learned to depend on each other more…ok, maybe I am just depending on him more. He has been a great father and husband helping me in the middle of the night when Audrey is not going back to sleep, getting up when he hears the spit up shoot on the carpet, bathing and putting the older girls to bed, even going to the store for me yesterday before work. Thank you husband. One day, I promise, you will have my full attention again.

As for Audrey, she is growing. She weighed in at 9 lbs 3 oz today. That is 2 lb 3 oz in 4 weeks. Okay, I am a little proud of that seeing as how I am the one nourishing her. And taking into account how much she spits up, she must really be eating well. She is content most of the time, not too fussy, but something does not settle in her little tummy. I almost took a picture of my laundry basket yesterday, but just take my word for it, we go through an entire basket each day of bibs, diaper cloths, blankets, clothes… Audrey is currently on Zantac to see if it helps any, then we may move her to one of the stronger ones. However, I am hestitant because she is not in alot of pain and don’t really want her to take those meds if it isn’t going to change the spit up. She is beginning to stretch her nights a little going as much as 4-5 hours. I know I will look back at those middle of the night feedings and cherish that time with just me and her in the dark, but honestly, does any mom enjoy it at the time? I do love the times when she stays awake after eating and just lays on my lap and looks around and then fixes on me when she finds me. So cute and sweet. And then she spits up everywhere! Joy!

Our playtime during the day.
