Life with 3

This is my perspective. Life was smooth. Like driving at a cool 45 mph along the coast with 2 kids and a husband, wind blowing through my hair, perfect sunshiny day, etc etc.
NOW suddenly life is driving at 105 mph, with 2 kids fighting constantly, a baby attached to my chest 24/7, and a husband who's doing his best to cope with me and everything else but looking at me like I'm a crazy person that he doesn't know what to do with!

I know we'll get there again. We'll find our rhythm that works and life will be so much more enjoyable with a 3rd child. I just need the patience to allow things to get there! It was hard enough dealing with the patience to allow my body to heal and recover from this birth. Which I really didn't do and still not 100%.

Really the baby is perfect. He doesn't demand much, sleeps a lot and looks cute all the time. Dillan and Leah have been different. The afternoons are the hardest. After school and everyone is hungry or bored or both. Hopefully the weather will get nicer and we can spend more time outside and keep ourselves occupied and HAPPY!
I also look forward to some spring cleaning with completely reorganizing my kitchen, going through everybody's clothes, having tons of enjoyable afternoon activities planned for everyone, having a plethora of healthy snacks readily available, having dinner perfectly planned every evening, clean clean CLEAN everywhere and not feeling a day or two behind!

And this is my perspective II:

I felt the same way when we had #3. I think part of it was that the older 2 already had so much going on and I felt like I was always on the go. You will find a rhythm again before you know it.
