I am three weeks into having three kids and so far we are surviving. I have learned very quickly that the name of the game is patience! Unfortunately, that is not my strong point. Fortunately, my sweet children are very forgiving. I have to be patient with a crying baby, needy children, tired husband, and stressed self. I keep telling myself over and over to just go easy on everyone around me especially me! I just wish I was born with more patience. It's a work in progress as is every redeemable character trait.
Having a newborn is an interesting life event. On one hand I want so badly to enjoy this tiny baby and hold him all the time. On the other hand I want so badly for this super demanding phase to be over. I want him to just sleep soundly on my shoulder but I also want to have a peaceful moment without kids (even cute ones that sleep on you). What I do know is that I love him and I love seeing my little girls mother him. Scarlett sits at his bouncer and repeatedly puts his pacifier back in his mouth. Alice has to kiss his head and give him a hug every time she runs past. I love hearing Scarlett tell me how she wants to be a mother one day and have a baby just like Jack. There are moments when I feel bad for my girls as they have been neglected and forced to fend for themselves. But then I see how much they love each other and their brother and I remember that having siblings is always worth the sacrifice!
I got close to 400 pictures. Most looked like this. I laughed for days after looking through them all!
I know in my heart that I am living the best days of my life. At this moment Jack is nestled in my arms and Scarlett/Alice are running around in princess attire...life is pretty good!
