Welcome to the land of long days and short nights. Days that drag, and years that fly. Little sleep and lots of tears. But even more love and laughter. Where ice pops cure everything (almost), and kisses are given freely. Lullabies are sung out of key, and laundry never gets put away. This is my life as a mommy.

Abigail's crankiness.
I shouldn't complain. Her entire (5 months) life she has been the sweetest little baby. She lets me put her down , and do whatever I want/need to get done. She fusses when she's tired or hungry and that's about it. Until this last Weds. She was crying, even when I was holding her. She was crying even after she just ate. She was crying even when she just ate AND just woke up. I guess it could be teething. I don't know. But she is miserable. Thus making the rest of us miserable. Today seems a bit better, but it is only 8:30. She gives me a few minutes here and there, but most of the day if she's not nursing or sleeping she's crying. So by Friday I had pretty much lost my mind. Aaron has been taking care of us so well all weekend. Friday night he took the kids so I could go out all by myself. It was lovely to just talk to other adults and not have kids to worry about. Then the next day I again went out all by myself, going to get my nails done, but on my way got a call from a friend in need so decided how selfish would I be if I went to get my nails done when someone needed my help. Service recharges my batteries more than pedicures anyway. So that was nice. Then I got home and Aaron and I went on a lovely date. I love dates with my husband. I feel recharged and ready for another week. I just hope that Abigail's crankiness subsides so that by next weekend I won't feel so burnt out.

Chloe has been more fussy than normal and I couldn't figure out why. I didn't think it was teething since Ellie didn't get her first tooth until she was 10 months... but yesterday I found the start of a tooth! I was happy since the last 2 weeks haven't been easy with Chloe and I couldn't figure out where my sweet and super easy baby went.
I'm so sorry! My sweet little angel was super cranky too a couple of weeks ago. She was getting all four molars at once. Thank heavens that is over!! The good news is they return to their sweet little selves. :)
