First I just have to share a couple of pictures of my little Sadie Bug!
She is so stinkin' cute I love her so much!
I cannot believe she is 1 month old today! I have just been thinking a little about how things have changed for me the last month. Adding a new baby is always a big change for any family. And having 3 kids is a pretty big change! But overall things have been great, and I am not the one to take credit for this. I have received SO much help and support from Family, and neighbors and friends! So THANK YOU everyone that has helped! You have made my life so much easier the last month!
Here's a few things I've learned the last month...
* time goes by SO fast. Seriously the days fly by, every time I look at the clock it's been 3 hours and it's time to nurse again. And then during Sadie's 2 hour naps I just run and try and get everything done and spend time with the boys and before I can get ANYthing accomplished it's time to nurse again.
* I LOVE having a newborn, I kind of forgot this and this seems silly since I've done this twice before, but I really love the newborn stage. It goes by SO fast (like I mentioned) and it's such a precious time. I just love holding and cuddling this sweet little girl and there's not enough time in the day! (luckily I have nights too:))
* Adding 1 more person to the family has QUADRUPLED my laundry! How is this possible? I guess it's because she goes through a couple of outfits on most days because of diaper explosions. But seriously I am doing laundry every single day, there is always more! But as a side note, I love folding pinks and purples and cute little girl clothes!
* I am actually enjoying just staying home most days. This is a shock to me, I thought staying home would be my biggest challenge. The boys and I are used to going constantly, but I have really liked staying home all day. The few times we have ventured out have been exhausting!
* And lastly I LOVE having 3 kids! I was so scared, seriously I thought baby #3 would be a turning point for me, turning into a crazy person, jumping off the cliff, never to be the same. But it really hasn't been as bad as I thought. I still have small moments of me time (like now) when all 3 of them are napping *which is heaven*! And I love all 3 of my kids, and even though I had never planned on having 3 under 3, I think it's going to turn out great. All of them will play and be best friends and I love that! I just feel so grateful to be a mother and I love these 3 adorable children!

What a cute, thoughtful post. Sadie is SO adorable! I'm so happy you were able to have a girl the third time around! You're doing a great job!

She is just precious! I'll never forget how completely exhausting breastfeeding is, at least in the beginning... So worth it though!
I want to meet Sadie!
They are all such cute kids! You know it has been a long time, when I haven't even met your second child and you already have a 3rd!! :)
