Not much going on...

I'm being a total slacker on the blog front. Nothing too exciting happening here.

Bianca has come down with some virus and has a fever. She's in pretty good spirits though. She's also cutting 3 molars and one is a little bloody. Poor thing. I feel for her and she's such a good trooper.

Annika has been testing our patience and her limits. I'm at a loss on how to discipline her. She just doesn't care about consequence, or maybe she isn't understanding. Who knows, but ideas are welcomed! Just an FYI, I've tried everything. I think we will be doing a behavior chart, although I don't feel that will do the trick either.

Bennett is doing fabulous. He is gaining weight like a champ. He gained 12 ounces in 6 days. That's 2 ounces a day! He is suddenly eating 4 ounces every 4-5 hours! That's a lot for a 3 week old. Oh, and he's 3 weeks today! Crazy. He's still sleeping a lot. He has about 2 wakeful periods a day, usually an hour long or so. He sleeps during the night and only wakes 2 times to eat. I'm praying, and hoping, and praying that this will remain! He seems pretty laid back. He doesn't really cry unless he's hungry or gassy. He's already acting like the neglected third child. Poor guy!

Brian and I are adjusting well to 3 kids. Seriously, if I would have known what I know now, having just 1 kid would have been sooooo much easier! Three kids hasn't been too bad, but it's the getting around that's difficult. Bianca is still too young to walk by herself in public, and she's still not the greatest at going down stairs, so I do a lot of carrying of 2 kids everywhere. Fun stuff.

This weekend we have a few visitors and it's my dad's birthday, so once again we'll be busy. Always busy, but that's how I like it. I literally can't sit still. It sucks sometimes.

Well, that's it for now. Hopefully I can get some pictures posted that I took today. But, I'm too lazy and dinner's in the oven. Adios!

Glad to hear that BEnnett is doing well.

I hope that Bianca's teeth pop thru soon. Poor baby. Teeth are so overrated. :)

Reyna has been testing our patience, too. I guess it's their age? Who knows.

I hope that Bennett keeps on sleeping well. That is always a bonus. :)

Talk to you soon.

Michelle, I'm glad you are all doing so well :) And it sounds like you've got one good baby on your hands! I hope he continues to be a good sleeper and eater for you!

I don't know why, but your posts never update in my google reader. Hmmm?

I get the testing limits it was one of those days yesterday. Yay on Bennett gaining serious weight. I don't know how some of you do it having 3 so close together. But I hear after getting used to 2, 3 is nothing.
