Can you believe how fast time flies? I guess I should expect it by now, Austin being my 4th baby, but I am always amazed at where the days go.
Man, taking pictures is HARD work....!
Brooklyne wanted SO bad to take a picture with him today. She said that he is her best brother... I would hope so!
And yeah.... here are his blessing outfit pictures. I am so ashamed that it has taken me an entire month to get them taken, but in the long run, atleast they got taken, and hey, they are "kinda" close to what he looked like a month ago. In like 30 years when my memory is failing, nobody will really know anyway!
Here's a shot of the whole dress. My mom and I worked together on sewing it. I've had the fabric forever, just waiting for if I ever had a boy to make a blessing gown from it. So 6 years old doesn't make it heirloom or anything, but hey, it's still sentimental!
Oh yeah, and let's see... what's going on in our lives.... He doesn't have his 2 month check up until later this week or next. He was sleeping through the nite, like 2 weeks ago there were several nites in a row that I didn't get up with him at all in the nite, which rocked. But then the past week-ish he's been pretty consistant with going to bed shortly after the girls, like around 9 and then I get up with him once in the nite, that's the part that is never consistant, sometimes it's 2 or 3 or 4, whatever. And then he's up again around 6:30 or 7 when the whole house is getting going for the day.
I am slowly starting to be sane again, it wasn't looking good for a little while. I thought I had a pretty good handle on the 4 kids thing, but our Kindergarten schedule really threw me for a loop. I was able to maintain composure for about 5 weeks when I pretty much lost it. Of course there didn't seem to be many ways to remedy by over-whelmed-ness... Pull Madison out of Kinder?- that seems extreme. Put Austin back where he came from? -slightly impossible, and still not a better solution given how miserable late pregnancy is. In the end we decided that TJ should be driving M to school, which helps my morning a bit, and then I have had to cut out a lot of extra things, since I felt like we jsut kept driving all day, everyday to different places for different kids, etc. And hey, I am feeling lots better! So, pretty soon I'm thinking I might be a normal, functioning part of society again. Until then, don't think I'm a bad person or friend for hiding under my bed all day, it just has to be that way so I can get through it and manage it all.
So, my point is that if having 4 children doesn't kill you, taking them to school just might!
