This afternoon was mostly smooth. Julianna was working on a project (always!)
And Isaac busy at the sink
All was calm as I sat down to feed Luke for the 98th time today. Or maybe the sixth. Hard to say :)
Our newest little guy is mostly content, but I am re-remembering just how many hours a day it takes to feed a newborn. And how tricky one-handed living really is. And how patient my big three kiddos can be (and how impatient they can be too!)
And I am super super grateful for Matt, who is currently carrying Luke while playing hide-and-go-seek with the other three. [Luke just got an exemption from the 'must close his eyes' while counting rule.] If it weren't for him, I'd be drowning in a mix of sleepless exhaustion and pure overwhelmed-ness.
But there are definitely moments, even when Matt is home, that are just plain tough. But so much joy and delight in our little Luke, he is just such a sweet little addition to our family. More to come.... off to feed a fussy tired baby boy!
