I loved seeing them because it brought back SO many memories of this challenging time. Newborns are hard. There's not a lot of sleep going on. You may have heard me say this before, but I believe having a new baby is a lot like camping. Your house/tent is a wreck, there's not much food in the fridge, people are sleeping (or not sleeping) in random places. Nobody's really showered and you can't even recall the last time you brushed your teeth.
I am happy to report that one year later, (although for some reason MacKay started crying about every HOUR last night), we are getting much more sleep. We only have 1 person in our house wearing diapers. We have a healthy dinner on a very regular basis. We make it to church on time. (Maybe it's because it's in walking distance now.) I can even take my kids out to run errands everyday if I want to. And it's not stressful. We've come a long way from those gray wintery days of 2011.
THIS is a picture of Whit at our beloved UA Library. Oh, I miss this library so badly! It was THE BEST! We had a full Blockbuster of movies that we could check out. Story time here was awesome and they had a great selection of books.
This was my first outing after having MacKay with the two kids by myself. I don't remember how long we stayed.... but I'm pretty sure I breastfed him here. (NOT missing that part.)
I do love my babies....
