Life with three children...

It has not been as hard as an adjustment as I thought it would be. I am loving time with all my girls and am soaking in all the newness of Baby Ellie. Both the big girls are wanting to help with every little task that involved their new sister (when it comes to things they need to do - clean their rooms, put clothes away...that is another story all together). It is nice to have the help and you can tell that they love their little sis. Feedings are going well and she is an easy going baby - sleeps through all the chaos and is happy being held or left alone, either way! She usually is wide awake in the evenings so that has been nice for Daddy too!
We went for her 2 week checkup and she is now 6 lbs 12 oz (birth weight was 6.8) and has grown 1/4 of inch already. I think the extra weight has gone straight to her checks - she is filling out nicely! All other areas of her check up went well too! Got her PKU test done yesterday and she barely squeaked.
MM finished off the semester missing the last two days of school - she is fighting some nasty allergies that are causing her asthma to act up. She also has a small case of pneumonia so we immediately started her on antibiotics. Needless to say, she missed her school party. That happened in Kinder too - hopefully she will make it to the party next year!
A Bear had a small Christmas pageant at her school on Thursday before breaking for the holidays. She was a momma cat in the play. Pics and maybe a video to come soon.
Weekend plans: clean house, finish wrapping presents, some baking and watching Christmas movies with the girls - we are staying away from the stores like the plague...it is crazy out there!

I have to laugh at the fact that its just a title at this moment! That is a perfect example of life with three kids you don't get a chance to finish one thing before the next is calling! Love you all!!
