Life since baby





I gotta tell you, 4 has been my hardest. It's not that she's a bad baby or that my kids have become awful kids. There's just not enough time in the day to do all the things I need to do to be a good mom. I just have oodles of mommy guilt. The guilt then leads to stress, which leads to me being not as nice as I should be, which leads to more guilt. It's a vicious cycle. That being said, oh is she a joy. She is so happy. I always get comments about how smiley she is. Ok, baby up so just gonna post!

Oh my goodness - I can totally relate - four was the same way for me (I don't know how anyone ever gets past four!!) I remember when Norm went back to work after a week of being home after Kelsie was born I just cried and said "don't leave me here all alone with all these kids" :D CRazy! Hang in there!

Lauren! I am always in awe at what a wonderful mother you are! You are always out there playing with and loving those kids! You might be feeling like you don't have time for everything, but at least you are picking the best things to do with the time you have! (ha ha...did that sentence make sense?) ;) Anyone that knows you for a second knows that those kiddos are at the tip top of your priority list! You are amazing and your kids are adorable!

I feel your pain, but I can tell that you are a great mom. I just have to choose one thing at a time that is the most important and do that first...and I only have two! You are amazing!
