having 3 is in some ways a lot easier than i thought it would be but also in some ways just as hard as i expected. granted, we are just at the beginning so i know things will get easier. we are all still adjusting. i think the hardest thing is rarely having my hands free. (hence the lack of blogging!) my little frankie loves to be held and her nap times consist of me trying unsuccessfully to get her to sleep in her crib. the times she is sleeping in her crib or swing i run around trying to keep the house in order. we are so very thankful for our dear friends and neighbors bringing us meals. i am sure it would be nightly pbjs without them!
our little frank and beans is 3 weeks old today and i have yet to figure out how to successfully take a shower with all three home. i attempted again yesterday and had to get out 4 times to calm frankie down and then maggie came in and said, abraham is playing with the toaster---i took that as my cue to go without shaving that other leg or conditioning my hair.
we are all in a state of learning. and really, i wouldn't trade it for all the quiet showers in the world. her new baby smell, her new smiles and coos. seeing the kids with her-maggie obsessively getting up at 6 in the morning just to see her and abraham saying (every time he sees her)-is that my baby? and although we are all a bit tired and house isn't as neat as i'd like....we are all madly in love.

I would give you some advice, but I have none! You're doing a GREAT job. And 10 months later, I've never attempted to shower when they're all home except late at night when they're all asleep (and Jimmy's home)!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! she is so so sweet. Frankie is such a cute name. I love how you call her "Franks and beans". So, i am interested in your labor too...i hope it wasnt too rough on you to do it naturally? Way to go mama..all that really matters is she's here and you both are healthy. One day the leisurely showers will come back...but never again will you have 10 little bitty Frankie toes to kiss...May GOD give you the strength to enjoy even amidst deep sleep deprivation
I love this! such a great realistic view but also a very loving one :) no doubt you are doing great juggling 3, i have to remember myself that the most important thing is lovin' on my baby and hubby, so other things can wait :)
