She's my sister

I thought while I had a sleeping baby and I am in between The Golden Girls episode I would take a second and write a post about my sister. A lot of this post won't make sense to everyone cause well, my sister and I have our own talk, memories, etc. My sister was so kind to come and take care of me after Nathan was born for 10 days. I have to admit that I was nervous cause just last summer our kids didn't get a long and wow what a difference 7 months made cause they acted like bff's for the most part. Shannon thank you for all that you did for me while you were here, I really can't put into words how thankful I am for all you did. Here are some of the things that she did; laundry, laundry, laundry, dishes, dishes, vacuumed almost everyday, bathed my kids, had special friend sleepovers, laughed our retarded laugh on the couch, she let me hit her cause it hurt so bad to laugh, watched The Golden Girls over and over, she vacuumed my sweats that I was wearing into the vacuum and all we could do was laugh, I think I have finally caught up to her or possibly passed her with the amount of diaper changes, she made my kids look presentable to go to school, made breakfast lunch and dinners, she woke up to hand me Nathan when he woke up during the night. I am sure there is stuff that I am missing, but I just wanted Shannon to know how thankful I am for all she did.

Thanks to Trish who was also here for a few days and for also helping me during the night and for also watching the Golden Girls with me.

just because

Almost 2 weeks

It's hard to believe that the little man is almost 2 weeks old. I couldn't have asked for a better baby. (let's not jinx anything) He eats, sleeps, poops, and barely cries. Both of the girls both had colic when they were babies and we are so happy to have a "normal" baby. I have a ton of pictures of him over on my facebook. The girls are loving having a baby around and they are even happier that they have not been peed on. So far the only victim of that was Eric, twice. I am recovering a lot better than the last csection and that makes me happy. Things are still a challenge as I still have that broken thumb of mine, but as a mom you just figure things out and work with what you have been dealt.

I want to thank all of those who have stepped in to help, especially Shannon who is here cleaning and cooking. I will try to get more picture up as soon as I can sit at the computer a little longer. Until then, I am going to enjoy my little man.
