"A House the size of Home"
Song is something I heard on Sirrus.
Just a quick update about us (for me more than anyone).
The Joads have gone home (much to the joy of my Grandma J as well as the aunt and uncle who were staying with my Grandma J). From the sounds of it, my parents miss our boys LOADS, but they are happy to be home.
We miss my parents, but it is also nice to be our own little family for awhile. RKZ has been working "half-days" this week. It's hard to describe exactly what this means. He has things that must be done and we work around that.
Our house is nearly done (Phase 1 - no kitchen until July). We are living at K & G's until Thursday. Friday morning (and forever after) we will be sleeping and living in our own home. It's been nice to practice being a mommy of 3 and all that this entails in the comfort of K&G's home. I'm still a bit freaked out by it all.
H-P (the baby) is wonderful. He is nearly 5 weeks now - that "fussy before the storm" period - but H-P has been the easiest of the 3 by far. Breastfeeding is a mixed blessing after 2 boys who were 1/2 breastfed and 1/2 formula. I keep telling myself that it will all be over before I know it and not to wish it away. H-P is still waking every 2 hours in a 24 hour period; but he falls right asleep after eating at night. This is honestly a first for my boys. H-P also looks so much like RKZ. We know that his eyes can change for up to a year, but he's a blue-eyed cutey so far.
Thunder LOVES H-P a little too much. Have to watch the over-kissing and touching. I'm also amazed by how quickly Buck has grown up through all of this. He even puts the pacifier into the baby's mouth when he's crying (and we don't even ask Buck to do that!).
Lastly, I miss my friends and dates with RKZ. Soon, I tell myself.
