Busy Mom... That's ME!

SO..... every day has its surprises! It had been relatively quite in the Adams house hold with just baby "J" and I had planned on taking a small break and just enjoying her before she is set to leave us this summer. But, I got a text from my licensing agency that there was a baby girl only 4 days old at a hospital only 5 min from my house... the one my Step Mom works at actually. How could I say no to a 4 day old baby girl... I couldn't so I set off to go pick her up and my Step Mom met me upstairs when she got off work to help get her settled in at home. Baby "J" was at home with my Dad who was so graciously making dinner for me that night. (Best parents ever!!) It has now been almost 3 weeks that baby "D" has been in our lives. She is a really well behaved baby girl... she was sleeping every 3-4 hours waking up to feed & be changed and that was that. Now she is on a 4-5 hour schedule which is GREAT!! Especially considering only a few days ago I got a phone call that baby "D" has 3 brothers who had been removed from the home and did I want one (a 2 yr old, 4 yr old & a 5 yr old) I said yes to the 2 year old. So, yes now I have a 2 year old boy in the house... that equals 3 kids under the age of two in the house. It was pretty crazy at first and it still has its occasional moment but we have fallen into a pretty good routine. My sister is moving out next week so I will be doing it alone which I have insisted on doing for the most part already to get used to the demands. Its been really good so far. Sunday, I was so proud of myself I got all three kids fed, bathed, dressed and out the door to church... all by my self! I impress myself sometimes ;-) I am actually really enjoying it the kids keep me busy which makes my days go by faster for the anticipation of Shawn coming home and a bonus... they make me smile several times a day. I couldn't ask for more right now. Everything happens for a reason! School fell thru this semester and I was bummed I was going to have to wait till May... now not so much. Needless to say house projects have slowed... not to a halt, just slowed so pictures will just have to wait a bit longer. Just another day in the life of the Adams family...
