Wow, Corbin is 4 weeks old. Well a little older, but I didn't have time to get to this before now! He is doing well. Last night we fed him at 11:30 and not again until 5:30! It was greatness! I am hoping this will soon be a trend and he will go a little longer! He got to meet his cousin Allyson this week as well as his Auntie Emily. I suppose we won't encourage him to call her Auntie like the girls do. He may get a little roughed up from the boys!
Not too much going on other then the usual...eating, sleeping and lots of diaper changes! However, after reading a friend's blog about bringing home twins....I am quickly reminded of how FEW diapers I will be changing this winter compared to last!
I did have my first outing all by myself last week, with all 4 kids. I am going to add the email I sent to my girlfriends describing it! As well, some fun pictures of the growing "boy" as Chloe says!
The subject of the email was:
my night! 4 kids, 1 parent!
This was me at church tonight!
I had L&A in the side by side stroller, Chloe hanging on it from the back and Corbin in a front pack on my chest. I wheeled everyone into the church with a diaper bag and my purse hanging off the back. I think I heard, "Are they ALL yours" about 10 times. Finally I got Chloe to Choir, and realized I didn't have the pacifier with me, it was in the car a mile away! And still 1 hr before Fred would be there to help me. So I decided if he started crying I could probably be a pacifier since he was smashed against my chest anyway! Got down to the "cafe" where they have a play area for little ones. Got a HUGE dr pepper, actually Mr pibb which totally ticked me off. Then got to the play area and never got to drink anything bc I was chasing L&A around. And trying not to josel(sp) Corbin too much. At one point L&A had emptied my diaper bag and purse. Anyway, finally I hear my phone ring but I am not sure where it is. Then Laurel cried bc she is scared...that is bc my phone was ringing in her hand. Fred is almost there. He says he will take all 3 kids home, that gives me 1 hr by myself. I jump on it. So then i am finally sitting alone and writing the endless thank you notes I have and people want to chat with me. I totally don't want to be social, I want to be ALONE! Anyway, got home had a HUGE chat with Fred bc I had to spend 45 minutes picking up dog gifts in the back yard so the kids could play! At one point I said, "I am getting rid of these dogs." Chloe freaked out! I felt bad. Anyway, all is ok now and I am off to bed. I think I got to eat 1/2 a thing of yogurt before L&A ate the rest this morning. And I think that is it. But I am too tired now to find food. It is the new diet...4 kids and a yard full of gifts!
Love, Julie
