My Little Miss Molly
We are sure enjoying our little Molly. She is a very good baby. She hardly cries, if she is uncomfortable or displeased she just kind of grunts and squirms. She is not sleeping as well as I wish she would at night. But what newborn does? She of coarse sleeps all day long. I think her nights and days are mixed up.
Her first bath. It makes things quite interesting when you have 6 hands trying to bathe her. Ali and Ana want to help with EVERYTHING.
She a very patient baby. Ali and Ana hated tummy time and wouldn't last a few minutes. Molly just lays there lifting her head up as much as she can. When she gets tired of it she just rolls over. She has rolled over 4 times. Kind of strange. I'm pretty sure that this is not a behavior she will continue, it's probably just a reflex or something. But the fact that she's done if 4 times seems a little weird.
She is our little squeaker. She is so noisy. She grunts and squeaks and squawks. She is a very happy baby. I am just enjoying every second with her. I was pretty excited to have a 3 1/2 year break between Ana and her because I love the newborn stage and it's hard to enjoy it when you have another toddler to take care of. I don't even really remember when Ana was a newborn because Ali wasn't even 2 yet and it was just crazy. I hardly get anything done around the house because I can hardly stand putting her down. I get to showering often around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, lovely I know.
Life with 3 kids hasn't really been that crazy yet. It really helps that Ali is in school, and that Ana is 3 1/2 and very helpful. I don't spend as much time with Ali and Ana as they need and as I want to but, that will come with time I guess, when Molly isn't so new. I've heard so many people say that the 3rd child was the hardest adjustment for them. I think it all depends on the timing of your kids. If Ana was only 2 and Ali 4 I think I might be going a little nutty right now. My only complaint is that I am extremely tired, but I expected that.
I am loving my 3 little girls. I'm enjoying this time and my Molly so much.

I'm glad to hear that transitioning to three kids has been so pleasant for you. That gives me hope for the eventual future. ;)
