Littlest has chilled out a lot. Call it old age (10 weeks!) or maybe her reflux meds really are making a difference. Whatever it may be, I'll take it. She no longer wails right after eating. She will smile intentionally and has begun cooing. She is still on a morning nap boycott, but no longer needs a middle of the night meal. Only a middle of the night paci. Stinkin' paci. 
This weekend, I helped with a bridal tea for a dear friend. LOML and I scurried around getting things ready. It's really nice to get your house ready for a party. You have a reason to clean, rather than the monotony of the normal routine. It was the first party of that calibre to be had in our new home. And what a blessing this home is! It was a delightful afternoon.
I have three sweet friends expecting babies within two weeks of eachother and this morning, the first arrived! When I got the text, I pictured the opening scene in Dumbo where all the storks are delivering the new baby animals. And then I cried. And I cried and then I cried a little bit more. That newest baby reminded me that I am still in awe that the God of the universe saw me and my dear husband fit to receive a second blessing. A second healthy, screaming blessing that keeps me on my knees. Praise the Lord for the cup he has poured!

Almost THREE?!?! Where do the days go?
I just love your blog. Love it. So great for me to read and always puts things into perspective. Maybe we should break out the watercolors and 'live' tomorrow.
My littlest one was diagnosed with reflux at just 2 weeks old... but has been doing much better since starting medication. No more (well, not as often) projectile vomit every time he eats.
Hope y'all are well!
I've stumbled upon your blog a few times and you suck me in with your sweet thoughts and funny stories! I just thought I might drop off some encouragement before I left today. I had my first two girls 19 months apart. Number two rocked our world and in those early days sometimes my husband and I would just look at each other and ask "what have we done?!?!". So, here's my encouragement - life continues to get easier with each passing day. Not only easier, but fun and so sweet! You've given your girls one of the greatest gifts (outside of salvation) and that's each other! You have such a treat in store as you watch them grow and love on each other. I know I'm not telling you anything you don't know already or earth shattering, but I know in the early days it's hard to see that past all the screaming and whining and neediness. Hang in there!
So happy to hear #2 has become more chill!!! There is nothing better than happy babies:) Enjoy LIVING today!
so happy # 2 has chilled out! Our #2 didn't sleep through the night until he was almost 2 years old. #3 is following in his foot steps-the only thing that helps is he is such a good baby all through the day but seems to wake up once or twice a night. Prayers for you!
Cheers to chill babies! And old age!
