I think I would have learned my lesson after six kids, don't buy ahead it NEVER works out for me. Maggie has more clothes than she could possible wear for the summer...and she won't because by the time she grows into them it will be winter, well Ms winter but still.

Kind of hard to be annoyed today because yeah the sun is out, the kids woke up HAPPY this morning, Maggie is taking a nap in her crib, the last being a miracle.
She is so fussy and gassy and wants to be held a lot, but now that she is almost six months old she is getting better and will do some tummy time.

the other monster Sam, well for all the complaining I do about his not sleeping well since the day he was born...I am sad he is so miserable that he cannot feel comfortable. He does sleep way better now, but he is having some breathing issues now at night and those nebs make him CRAZY so he slept in until 9:30 this morning, it will be a much better day. I gave him the benadryl. he does have a prescription for hydroxizine which used to work great at getting him to sleep but he hasn't needed it for awhile blah blah I tried it again because he is pretty icky and it does not do the trick anymore.

After Sam was born was the most miserable time, I am not sure if it was because I was out of practice with he and Jake being three &half years apart (funny that I have had three children in less than that time, not really ha ha funny though unless you are looking at me trying to wrangle them all)
when he was about three-four weeks old it was my turn to do sharing time, Chris was on call so I went to church alone. It was not a great day and it was a hard time. I am glad Nollie is so pleasant and a great sleeper. I hope he does not get lost in between the needy bossy sam and the sweet baby girl.

I have been making an effort to be a nicer mother, so I wrote all the kids a letter to tell them all the lovely things about them and have been trying to comment on the positives they do instead of ALL the nit picky things I see and I mean TRYING because it is very difficult. I think it is working because while there are still issues they may be a little bit happier, if momma ain't happy well like I said for the last three years it has pretty much been the case. Having a lot of kids is hard, lots of people say "you must be patient" no I am the most impatient person so I must need to learn it the hard way.

Boring post.
