3 kids , 3 times the stress, 3 times the fun ??? YOU BET!!!

Wow, I can't believe Andrew is already 5 wks old. I went back to work when he was 3 weeks old and he has been such a good baby. I get to take him with me to work for 2 months and so far he eats and sleeps for most of the day, is up in the afternoon and early evening and since he was about 1 week old has been sleeping for about 6 hrs at a time at night. If I could be guaranteed to have more babies just like him I would have another 1 or 2 quickly. Now, that being said, it is not fun when all 3 kids are sick on top of Nate and I also not feeling well. Thank heavens for Grandma!!!! It went around our house at least twice and may be starting a third time. The girls are getting much less jealous of the baby and are back to being jealous of each other. We still have to have 2 of just about everything and even then that's sometimes not enough for them. The girls have learned their first "naughty" word. "Shut up!" Thanks to their uncle Tell for that one. They say it so cute though it's very hard not to laugh at them. My mom says I'm going to have to nip it in the butt very soon or it won't be quite so funny, she's right like always, but i definitely have to work on not smiling when they say it in a valley girl tone. It's so nice to have a wonderful family who is always willing to help even when the kids are monsters and very whiney!!!!!!! I know hard to imagine my kids whiney haha. I didn't think it could be too much harder going from twins to three kids, boy was I wrong. There have been many more nights where I have just bawled than I ever did with the girls. I have to keep telling myself that Heavenly Father doesn't give us more than we can handle and we need to lean on our families when we are cracking. I will definately owe my family a million IOU's by the time they have kids. I'm so looking forward to repaying all those that have helped me.
