We are doing well. I'm having to remind myself it's ok if I take some shortcuts this Christmas and if everything is a bit more lowkey. I'm feeling pretty much back to normal and I think B is doing well. He is finally "waking up" so I'm excited for him to get to use some of his christmas gifts like his sit me up seat and kick and play piano.

S is 8 weeks today! And my middle child turns 2 on Friday. I can’t believe either of those things! Also, how is it almost Christmas? I am so not in the spirit this year and blame it on moving and having a baby recently. I start back at work a week from Thursday and am not that excited about it. I still feel like I have a bunch to unpack at the house and my parents will be here for a week starting tomorrow so my goal of getting a little time to relax before going back to work doesn’t look like it will happen.
Oh and I got my first pp period last week so that was fun.

sarah It's definitely weird this year. I am excited for Christmas but something feels off. I think I am just not used to feeling this rushed. I'm hoping the kids' excitement runs off on me over the next few days.

jnetx maybe that’s it - feeing rushed. I feel like we didn’t do as much holiday stuff in December since we were moving and unpacking. I guess I have one more day to try to get more into it! 😂

I guess I have one more day to try to get more into it! 😂 We didn't either. We did a quick visit with Santa at Kohl's instead of doing the big thing at bass pro, I didn't get my half-day alone to wrap gifts while watching White Christmas, we haven't driven around to look at lights, I normally make cookies the 22nd or 23rd and I'm just doing some from the refrigerated section tomorrow that the kids can decorate. My shopping felt rushed because it seemed too early to shop before B came on Nov 15 but I wasn't recovered enough to do anything in person until two week ago. Thanksgiving was weird since I was like 10 days post partum so our meal was good but different since my dad did most of it. Oh well. I've never had a baby this little at Christmas and I probably never will again so I keep telling myself next year I will be able to "fix" all of the things that are off this year. I know seeing the kids Christmas morning will be fun and I love setting everything out after they go to bed on Christmas eve. |

Z is 2 months old today, 9 weeks on Thursday. Its absolutely flown by. Shes is such a serious baby (so was DS) and she definitely has made us work for it, but weve gotten some purposeful smiles out of her over the last week. I love it so much. Shes starting to coo and discovered her tongue and how to blow spit bubbles recently too 😂
We had a second cardiologist opinion on Monday last week for her heart condition. They admitted her into hospital that afternoon to start trialing medication for getting her heartrate into a normal range. We spent 3 days there, it was a children's hospital and everyone was fabulous and took good care of us. The first medication they tried worked almost instantly (even her cardiologist was a bit shocked it worked so fast but happy with the results) and shes been running normal ever since. They sent her home with a wireless holter monitor to wear for 2 weeks to watch how her heartrate is doing.
Christmas is low key for us too this year. My ILs are coming over and my MIL is making dinner and I'm perfectly ok with that. I have zero desire to cook this year.

That's fantastic run4fun! M is exactly 6 weeks old today. I can't believe how fast time has flown, part of that has been the business of the season, as well as managing a 3 year old at the same time. Coming down with bronchitis certainly hasn't helped either, it's not fun being sick on top of everything else. Thankfully M has stayed healthy through it all. sarahh jnetx I felt rushed this season too with everything going on. And I so desperately wanted this to be and feel different. But it is what it is. We didn't get to see Santa until last night, but I'm so glad we were able to squeeze it in last minute. |

Merry Christmas, y’all! My favorite gift- DD2 slept for two long (5 hour) stretches last night. Unfortunately I wasn’t asleep for the first one due to prepping everything for this morning, but I’ll take it!
She’ll be 4 weeks old tomorrow and I have no idea where the last month went. Everything has been so hazy, but I’m really enjoying having a newborn at this time of year. It feels extra special.

The siblings just come up to meet baby. Gah, I'm exhausted. I am seriously questioning my ability to parent 4 kids. Lol, a little late to be worrying about that now eh?
