Today I have 3 napping children and some time on my hands!
Meet the newest member of our family: Theresa Jane who was born February 19th and will be 4 months old tomorrow! She’s tiny and weighs less than 11 pounds right now, but super happy and smiley. She enjoys cooing loudly, rolling onto her tummy and has been sleeping like a champ- about 10 hours straight. My hope is that this continues and she’ll be my first baby to actually sleep at night.
Everybody asks me how life is with 3. And to my complete surprise, it’s been beautiful. My expectations of these early months have been exceedingly surpassed. After the painful first month and the sleep deprived first 2-3 months, Theresa has become a very sweet and wonderful baby who brightens up her whole family’s lives. The kids and I get out as much as before with playdates, the zoo, museum and playing outside with neighbors.
I thought for sure I’d have some form of depression as I did after my first two; but so far, no signs of it. It seems we were in survival mode only a brief time and have already begun thriving.
The title of my blog is about searching for freedom. Over the past several months I have finally taken some baby steps in this direction and have some experiences to share, but I’ll save that for another post.
Here’s a few more pictures of what we’ve been up to since Theresa was born.
