Well, in 24 hours, Kellen will be a week old. A week. It feels like it's been a day or two. I had pictures of the other two sent to family and friends the day I got home from the hospital! I know it will get easier, but bringing home a newborn to a home with two young boys has been more of an adjustment than I gave it credit for. It doesn't help that Landon and I both have colds so we sleep miserably. But even without that, I have four people to cook, clean, and do laundry for - last time it was only three ... I have a four year old and a two year old who can both talk, run, scream, ask questions, touch the baby, wake the baby - last time I only had a 21 month old who quietly accepted the presence of a new sibling ... I don't have a regular nap time to rely on - last time, Trenton would sleep for 3 hours every afternoon so I could too ...
All this to say, it's going to be awhile before this feels normal. Landon goes back to work tomorrow and I am a stay at home mom of three for real. I figured this is my last chance to do a thorough blog post for awhile, so here we go!!

Three was an insanely hard transition for me as well! Hang in there...this too shall pass I promise! The insane "I'm gonna loose it moments" will slowley get farther and farther apart! He is beautiful! Prying for rest for you!
I love the pics! The last belly picture is great, although since I am on my 1st pregnancy it scares me that my tummy will soon be there too! Congrats to you and Landon, you guys have such a beautiful family!
