A mess

I like to be organized and am quickly realizing that while I can try to continue that, if it doesn't happen, I just have to let it go. My house is a mess, laundry situation a mess, yard is a mess.... on and on. And truly, I would love to just not care about any of it. So many have told me that babies are this young and precious for such a short time and I know that. I get that. I will work on it - the not caring. There will be a day, in the future where I will have the time and energy to do what's gotta get done! I did see a neurologist about 10 days ago. He thinks (as do I) the headaches are just about my body trying to recover from the onslaught of that high blood pressure and post child birth. He did think a brain MRI was a good idea just to rule out any thing bad. That was done 8 days ago and because of phone tag and the neuro's office being closed more that I thought it would be, I don't have the results yet. I am assuming no news is the best news. On the bright side, I have needed very little pain medication (including Tylenol or Ibuprofen) for headache control. I still have some mild headaches, but they are just a mild nuisance, nothing I am to concerned about. I'm happy about that. As far as life with two babies goes.... it goes. I enjoy it. It's happy chaos. It's fun. It's tiring... etc. Paul is helping a friend finish up a construction project and is gone 8-10 hours a day. Boy was I lucky to have him home as long as I did. The time FLIES by every day taking care of Ryan and Kathryn. Kathryn continue to grow like a weed and is lovingly giving me some 4 hour stretches of sleep. She is also smiling and cooing - making me just melt to goo inside. There is nothing better than a babies genuine smile, in response to someone smiling at her. Ryan is a talking machine and starting to develop a sense of humor. He is so gentle with Kathryn and wants to "help" all the time. He's a good sleeper, good eater, and just a good kid, in general.

The 3 that are in that bed are the 3 that don't belong there! It's a glimpse into an early morning here. Thankfully 2 of the 3 don't sleep with us - Joey is the one that tries her best to be on the bed as much as possible!

Go DAWGS!
