Life with 3

We're now on our own.  My parents were here for a week a couple days after Owen was born and then Jarom's mom came out to help.  Meals were cooked, laundry was done, floors were vacuumed, and girls were entertained.  If it weren't for all the wonderful dinners brought to us from friends, I think we would've eaten mac & cheese for quite some time ;)  We've been blessed with such a sweet baby, Owen really is an easy baby, (I don't want to jinx myself), but he really is.  He eats every 3-4 hrs, sleeps 4-5 hours at night, and falls asleep in my arms without really having to rock him.  The girls were just the opposite as babies.  At his 2 week appt he grew an inch from birth and was almost 8lbs.  He also got circumcised that day, I was teary eyed as I gave him over to the Dr.  He didn't cry during it all and when the Dr. brought him back he was just staring at him with red eyes...probably noting in his little mind who did this to him!   Yesterday my friend Jamie came over and gave Owen his first photo session.  I can't wait to see how they turned out, it was quite the feat trying to get him to fall asleep without clothes on!
 As the weeks go by I'm slowly learning how to juggle everything at once.  It's not easy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
