Really Quick

I haven't blogged in forever. And I don't think this post will be very long. Our computer at home doesn't work anymore. My computer time is dependant on Steven bringing home his laptop so I can do it at night (and that's out on the weekends because he is using it to study for his sermon on Sun.) or I have to do it at my mom's, and then that is only if my children are sleeping or quietly occupied (which is rare). I know...excuses, excuses. Oh, and I have a newborn and spend a huge majority of my time these days nursing, which I have done on a few occasions while I check the computer. While I am definitely learning to multi-task, still haven't mastered a blogpost while nursing.

Anyway, this weekend has been kind of a bummer. Rain and threats of tornadoes (gotta love the South in the spring), which has brought some unusually cold and dreary weather on this Sunday. The time spent indoors has given Ellie and Luke such opportunity to be at each other all day long. The fighting is at an all-time high. If things go like they did with me and Laura Beth, we still have about 16 more years before the fighting will come to a stop. I am hoping things will be different since it is a girl/boy dynamic. Although Steven remembers having to be separated by hanging clothes on trips from his sister so they wouldn't fight. And being told "just don't even look at each other". I remember hearing that as well. I am now using all those same tactics to keep from hearing blood-curdling screams (those come mainly from Luke-which was LB). Ellie is usually the quiet antagonizer (which was yours truly). I have officially apologized to my mom. This is how we spend a lot of time these days-I am on the bed feeding Andrew, Ellie is sitting on one side and Luke on the other...so I can see both of them, but they can't see each other. It is constant these days!...and making Steven and me both want to pull our hair out!

Andrew is doing well. We're doing 5 hour stretches on most nights. It could be better, it could definitely be worse! Tomorrow will be 8 weeks. I feel like I am starting to come out of the first few months of a new baby fog. I have a few new pictures to post. I knew family would be disappointed if I blogged with no new pictures. Our camera charger was missing for awhile,but I finally found it! So here are a few good shots I was able to get. He is also coming out of what I call the awkward baby phase. You know, when they are losing all their hair, they have acne, and they are going from newborn skinny to three month fat baby.

Still lovin' Andrew! Just not each other.Playing dress-up in an old Strasburg dress.

He is SO SO cute! I love his blonde hair. I am glad to hear that you are getting over the "hump" - it took me about three months to get to feeling like myself again, and coincidentaly, that was when Wyatt started sleeping through the night on a regular basis. It's funny how much sleep affects everything!
