Our First Outing



Bee's first time in the pool at Popo's house.

Riley loves swimming.



She loved splashing in the water and kicking her legs.


Riley giving his sister a hug. For 5 minutes he actually liked her.



 
Ya for the first successful outing!

Ok, so last night was not quite as good as the night before. She woke up at 11:30 and really didn't go back to sleep until almost 2. We did get a little sleep so I'm not deprived this morning and that's good. We went out to breakfast for a bagel and then to the grocery store. It seemed to go ok. But I think I screwed up her nap schedule. Bad Mommy!  She was supposed to have a nap at 10:30-11:00 but it is now almost noon and she is not sleeping. Daddy had to go to work today so we are on our own. It is definitely a challenge being alone with 2 kids and trying to divide attention evenly and still get stuff done. If you have sent me an email or message on facebook, I'm sorry if I didn't reply. It's easy to open the emails but it's hard to sit and type a response to everyone with her in the carrier grabbing at things.  I will try to find time to send replies soon. I'm trying to update the blog as much as possible because it is the only way our family and friends get to see what is going on because I don't always answer the phone. Thank you again for all of the advice and support. I will always be open and honest about what's going on because I do believe that it offers support to others who are going through the same thing. I know their are several blogs that I have read that have helped me.

That was the hardest part for me. dividing the attention between Zach and Adam. I know that Zach sometimes feels slighted now and I do not mean to. I answer e-mails at work because there is no time at home. Enjoy the time. It goes so fast.

Definitely don't stress about getting back to people - we all know you're busy :)
Looks like you guys are getting settled, little by little .
And yay for some water therapy! :)

No need to reply to anything. I consider your blog a response. I'm glad things are getting better. I understand dividing time. I have three kids and the age difference helps in some ways, yet adds tension and stress in others. All we can do is our best, and it appears you are doing just fine! Hang in there gal.

Congrats on a successful 1st outing! Dividing time definitely takes awhile to get used to, but you'll get the hang of it.
