Growing up...

Today, Conner got rid of his training wheels. Josh has tried with him twice before and he didn't have the balance down and was afraid. Today, he didn't want the training wheels. They are gone. We are beyond proud but it's very bittersweet.

So big.

Busted...

I'm not really sure who was busted...me or them.

Sometimes, it's OK for them to play in the sink... this is also my 52w photos for week 14.

4 weeks later.

I can not believe that our tiny baby is 4 weeks old already. He sleeps....like a baby and is up every 2ish hours at night. He stays up most of the morning and then starts sleeping in the afternoon. He sleeps all afternoon, with the exception of waking up to eat. He's up again in the evening. He's starting to try to smile. You know the one...that big open mouth half smile. Cutest thing ever....even the 3rd time. He still has all of that hair and I really hope it doesn't fall out. He can roll over but only when he wants to. He is still nursing and taking bottles; he's not  too picky yet.

How am I? I'm hanging in there. I'm tired and still sore. I'm really ready to start working out again but I don't want to hurt myself so I'm not pushing it. I definitely don't feel as overwhelmed as I did after Parker was born and for that I'm very thankful. My biggest complaint is that I'm tired. I am starting to get back into my regular clothes but I still have a ways to go before *those* jeans will fit. I'll get there. I've been trying to eat clean (when I actually have time to make myself food). I've lost 20lb and have 20 left to go. Something that I've been doing most days is getting dressed and putting some form of make up on daily.It really helps me to feel human. I've also been trying to drink a lot of water but it's hard some days since I'm so busy going from kid to kid to kid. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!
Here's me 4w later (can't believe I'm posting this but it's all about accountability, right?!).  Clearly I didn't get dressed today but Parker has been sick and have I mentioned I'm tired?

Easter

Can you even believe that I forgot my camera...seriously. who does that?! I did get a few pictures of the big boys with their baskets before we left to go to my MIL's house. They were thrilled to see gumballs and chocolate.

My future (very lovely) sister in law snapped these with her phone.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
