Where on earth did the last month go? I blinked and a month has gone by. I’m sorry I haven’t updated this space in a while. I have not had a second to myself. Yesterday, among one of my many baby feeding sessions I began to wonder what I did with all of my free time when I only had two kids. Then I remember having only one kid and thinking ‘oh my God, how on earth will I ever be able to do this.’ Seriously?
Happy one month birthday Chloe. Everything is bigger in Texas, especially the hair bows!
I received the best advice yesterday from another mama of three. I think she could see the desperation in my eyes. The guilt that I feel my other two have felt cast aside. She told me to ‘love the lamb you are with.’ Giving that sweet child every ounce of attention that I possibly can. In whatever amount of time that I have with them.
So today I did just that. Since I spend the nights whole-heartedly with Chloe I made sure to wake up early and make breakfast for everyone. My hubby got up early with me, put on a fire, and made the coffee. We spent time together, reading the paper over our morning coffee, with no interruptions.
While Chloe took her morning nap I made zucchini muffins and pumpkin muffins with the kids. Allowing them to make a mess, to stir however they like. Giving myself permission to make a mess with them.
This afternoon it’s time for Chloe. The kids are outside, enjoying the falling temperatures the change of seasons has brought with it. I’m wearing Chloe, taking time out for cuddles while juggling all of my other mama duties. All the while loving the one I am with. Now mind you, this changes by the minute. Always loving someone different.
I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween weekend! And by all means love the lamb you are with.
I love that too on loving the little lamb you are with…precious!
