As a first time mom, it's been overwhelming at times (I'm not sure how long it's been since I even updated our financial records, much less wrote on my own blog), but reading your blog has given me helpful ideas and above all, encouragement that things do get more manageable! I'm not sure yet but I think we're finally falling into something resembling a routine.

My girl (2.5 months) started sleeping 10-11 hours at night with one feed that she doesn't even open her eyes for. I tell you, it really is like running on all cylinders. I have been more creative, and everything else good. I get some steep hormone spikes in the wrong direction but fortunately it is fairly short lived for the most part. <br /><br />Happy anniversary you two crazy love birds! <3Catherine R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17270456247724661532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-25729974857512700232010-10-29T15:58:16.577-05:002010-10-29T15:58:16.577-05:00Happy Anniversary!

"Sleep when the baby sleeps" worked with my first baby. Three boys ages 3 and under? Not so much.

Looks like you had fun.<br />About the sleep thing, I agree. I do think that, even if it doesn't look like it "should", it's ok. Sometimes whatever works for you is really fine, even if it doesn't follow the "formula". All that to say that sometimes an exhausted momma drags a baby or young child into bed with her just to get a few extra zzzzz's and that's ok!<br /><br />Moses is too adorable! <br />Such a disjointed comment, but I'm trying to get everyone ready for a Walmart trip at the same time. Sigh. Have I mentioned how much I despise Walmart? Especially at 38 weeks pregnant? :)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808674825863044909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-16375834819929159312010-10-29T07:10:29.246-05:002010-10-29T07:10:29.246-05:00The banner is so cute and your sewing skills are g...The banner is so cute and your sewing skills are great. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on nighttime mothering. I have always co-slept which insured that all in the house got the rest they needed. A tired momma is no good to anyone.
