Friday Update

We got Baby J's blood work done today. I don't know who was more upset about this: Baby J, L or me. We were all crying with S looking at us like we were nuts :- ) Then a trip to Target, where they forgot to load a bag into my cart and I didn't notice until we got home and we had to go back and get it - ARGH!

After the initial shopping trip at Target, we hit Starbucks and headed to the van. We got back in the van and I nursed Baby J while the older 2 had a snack. Just as we were all finishing up, S had to go potty so we had to traipse back in to Target to use the facilities. Well I didn't have Baby J in his car seat or a sling so L had to sit on the floor and hold him while I helped S use the potty. Things get more interesting (and mom gets more creative) with each additional child!

Tonight I went to a local breastfeeding store that is going out of business to get a sling. They had a baby scale and I weighed Baby J - he weighs 6 pounds 8 ounces. This nursing is going so well with Baby #3!!!! He gained 10 ounces in 8 days, so wonderful!!!!

I love the new blog background :-)
Your so right, you definitely have to get more creative at juggling things the more kids you have....
Way to go baby J on the weight gain, he sounds like a great little feeder!!!

Take care

I have had some interesting situations, too, when someone had to go just SO badly....especially in stores, where you can't bring the cart into the bathroom.....but somehow we figure it out. And congratulations on the nursing!!! That is wonderful how he is thriving....Oh, and I think you are very brave to take them all out by yourself!!
