A Quick Entry....

For someone NOT used to spending a great deal of time relaxing and resting, the past week has both flown by, and gone amazingly slow! I am SO not used to not driving and needing to ask for help lifting things and bending! Not how my daily life usually plays out!!!

We've had a few challenges this week - Abby's jaundice, which involved daily heel sticks for blood checks and two visits to her pediatrician (thankfully with no little boys in tow!), and some adjustments on the part of the boys to having a new sibling, and me to having Norman home and taking charge all day!

The boys LOVE Abby, and my big concern is a bit TOO much love, say, when Norman is back to work and I have to run to the bathroom! We find ourselves repeating, over and over, "You can't touch the baby without a grownup with you!!" I am researching protective netting for the 2nd porta-crib we are going to get and set up in the living room/dining room, to keep curious boys and their toys OUT of her safe space!! Please send along any other suggestions you may have for keeping Abby protected from the overzealous affection of a rambunctious 3 1/2 year old and VERY physical 2 year old!!!

Well, today awaits!! I went and helped Norman on my route this morning, with Abby happily in her car seat, sleeping away, and Thomas at home babysitting the boys while watching SportsCenter! Abby has another Dr. appointment this morning, just a weight check and look-see to make sure her jaundice is leaving, and I have a few errands to run, now that I can drive again!! YAY!!

Oh, and here are a few pictures for your Monday viewing pleasure!! Enjoy!!
