It's been awhile since I blogged so I thought I'd stop in and say what we're up to. Actually, I'm not really sure what we're up to...everything is so busy. I kind of feel like I'm going all day but getting nothing done. Normally that would really bother me, but I've done this new baby thing enough times to know that's just how it is for awhile and things will slow down eventually!
We gave up going out to eat for Lent. It's been hard. I now realize how bad we were about just stopping somewhere to pick up lunch instead of making an effort to eat at home. It's definitely been a sacrifice, but nothing compared to the sacrifice of Jesus!
I am feeling pretty good. At 6 weeks I suddenly felt like myself again. The same thing happened with Thea, but I had forgotten. Now I am writing it down so that next time I will remember when I'll start to feel human again. It's horrible feeling like you can't do anything!
Mareea is growing like crazy, but is getting sick. I get so scared with sickness. We've spent enough time in the ER with babies who can't breath to know how terrible it is. It's probably my biggest fear. Quintin brought home a cold from school and now all the kids but Landon have it. I am praying it does not turn into anything serious, but it's hard to know at the beginning.
I am so ready for spring to be here. I can't stand the cold weather. Dan had the last couple of days off and we couldn't do anything because it is so cold! We really like to hike and go to the park, but those things are kind of hard with freezing weather and a brand new baby!
I am off to make some dinner. Tonight we are having black beans and brown rice. The black beans are soooo yummy. Rita gave me the recipe (thank you!!) and I made a bunch and froze them in quart freezer bags. They're a very inexpensive, but super tasty dinner.
Pictures to come later!
