Happy Changes

I can't believe how long its been since I have blogged. Miss Shirley wasn't even born yet. Now she is 4 months old. Her birth was great. Loved my repeat csection. 

 

 

 and I am still getting back into my pre pregnancy size. 

10 more pounds.

Now I can't even imagine what it was like to not have her. 

She really is totally perfect. She hardly ever grumps and has the chubbiest little legs in the whole world. (93 percentile baby!) I do get some of the blame for that. 

She whimpers and she gets to nurse and get momma to herself.

And we are now in our own home. 

IT IS SO NICE. 

We picked out everything in the remodel so of course I love everything. I am decorating the walls slowly but surely. It's small and so perfect for us. I really appreciate the smallness. It makes me rethink everything I own and makes me purge a lot. The thrift store is always happy to see me. Its a two bedroom but its 1200 square feet so BIG bedrooms. I have been using the kitchen so much. I didn't have counters in my old house so its amazing all the things you can do with the littles on them. 

 

Summer is pretty much over and we spent a lot of days running around outside. The property is fenced so Sammy can basically run around and chase the dog to his hearts content.

 

 I have been working about 5 hours a week. Going up to 15 next week and watching two girls for some extra money. They are sweet and have a blast at my house even though I am always afraid they are bored. 

I am out of survival mode with the kids. Starting to feel like Samson and Shirley have a schedule I can predict. I go places with both of them. I have a double stroller so I have no excuses. I still dislike going grocery shopping with them both so I try to leave Sammy at his cousins house. Sammy is outgrowing his naps which is bittersweet since I LOVE napping. Casey is still not healing but we are learning ways to deal with it. We know his limits and try to stick to them. He helps as much as he can and for that I am so thankful. I am working on keeping the house more tidy. Having someones elses kids over REALLY motivates me. My momma told me its house KEEPING not mess it all up and catch up. I keep on telling myself that. I am so messy and I fight it constantly. I like it tidy so I need to keep it that way. My house has been tidy now for 6 days. Gold star for this momma.
