Uplifting
MOPS today was very uplifting. I began the time there feeling so out of place and ended it feeling so great about the fellowship and being a mommy. We had a wonderful speaker who had some things I want to remember, like being a calm, respectful parent. It was a great 2 1/2 hours today!
Thankful Thursday
After a great night of sleep, I awoke refreshed about life. Sleep really helps my outlook. Baby J was awake a ton yesterday and he is smiling more so that helps relieve some of that worry. He also slept wonderfully last night - from 9:30 until 2 and then from 2 till 4:30.
We are headed to MOPS today. I am a table leader and our table is responsible for breakfast this time. I am trying to get more involved in things like this. It is a wonderful group of women who seem supportive of each other and this motherhood thing : -)
Okay I better go shower while all 3 are sleeping, although sitting here drinking my chocolate mint truffle flavored coffee and reading blogs is way more fun than showering!!
p.s. The thing I am most thankful for today is my opportunity to stay home with my kids. I say it often but it's true. I feel so blessed to be the one to be with my kids day in and day out - even when it gets hard!

Worrying
I love being a mommy and wife. I love having these kids and my husband. I love having and being a good friend. This is a crazy journey I am on, this ride called life. I am so very thankful for so many things. I was worrying earlier about life and got this overwhelming sense of calm, like a message straight from above to stop the worrying & have faith that all will be okay.

Happy 2 months Old Baby J!
Today Baby J is 2 months old. Where oh where does the time go?? Baby J is still a very sleepy baby. He has started smiling once in awhile and is cooing occasionally. He weighed in Monday at 10 pounds 1 ounce. Nursing is still going well - would be better if the thrush would go away. Baths are a favorite time of Baby J's. L and S still love their baby brother and I am loving being a mommy of 3! Here are some pics of 2 month old Baby J:
Chaos, again
I am so overwhelmed with life. I think I have the baby blues still and am not sure how to deal.
This morning we painted for awhile together while Baby J snoozed. He was super fussy last night and this morning so I took advantage of his sleeptime to spend some time with L & S. Today is also L's dance class day so we did that. It has become routine for S & I to go get a coffee while she is in class. He really looks forward to that time. Fortunately Baby J stayed sleeping during this too. I complain about him being too sleepy but maybe that's God's blessing for now - allowing me to slowly acclimate to 3. I don't know but my mommy radar thinks that he is way too sleepy. Maybe it has something to do with him being 4 weeks early?? The dr wasn't concerned after seeing him yesterday since his coloring is good and when he is awake, he is alert. He doesn't really smile or coo yet though and those are things he should be doing by now.
L did an online assessment this afternoon for this curriculum I am looking into for her. The test should have taken her an hour - it took about 15 minutes. Looks like she is doing math at a 1st grade level and reading at 2nd grade. CRAZY! She really enjoyed the online stuff so maybe I should find more computer based curriculum for her.
S has been having more potty accidents lately. I got mad earlier - wish I had more patience sometimes.
Now I better go start dinner and think about something fun to do together this evening as a family....

Family Day
We spent all of Sunday hanging out as a family and it turned out to be a very nice day. Baby J slept from 9 until 4 this morning so I woke up fully rested. I was reading the Sunday paper and enjoying a yummy cup of coffee at 5:30 this morning. It was relaxing to be up while the rest of the house was sleeping (minus Baby J). We went over and took care of the neighbor's house about 8 this morning. Our neighbors went away for a few days so we fed their horses, chickens, bird and fish while they were gone. The kids enjoyed taking care of this mini-farm over the long weekend. They were hands on helping feed. The only downside - we killed one of their fish! Daddy and I agreed that all these animals were alot of work : -)
Daddy Piper built the kids a roller coaster mountain this morning and they were riding down it in their wagon. I personally thought it was a bad idea but they enjoyed it. 
I enjoyed getting a ton of laundry done and then watching them come down the hill. I even took a ride once! We are going to finish the family day out by going out to dinner at a local restaurant where the kids can roast marshmallows. Should be fun!

Baby J did what he does best - slept the day away. I am so worried with how much he sleeps. He is still sleeping like a newborn, about 20-22 hours a day. I even did an internet search to find out about sleepy babies but everything that has to do with sleep pertains to how to get babies TO sleep, not how to keep them awake. He is getting enough milk so that's fine but I am worried about the non-stop sleeping. We see the dr this week for his 2 month checkup so I can discuss it with him. He is just not developing the same way my other 2 did. He does hold his head up and he even rolled from his tummy to his back the other day. He doesn't really smile in response yet. He does wake himself up to eat though, I don't have to wake him for that. This mothering stuff is a full time worryfest!p.s. We just got home and it was the most fun we have had taking the kids out to dinner. In fact, I think this was Baby J's first dinner out. Of course, he didn't get to eat his dinner since he can't nurse without seeing his milk and it was dark outside thus he didn't eat. L&S had a blast dancing to the live music and devoured their burgers and smores. L wanted me to stand on the dance floor like some other mamas were doing and this was the first time she noticed I am not as tall as most mommy's are. She looked at them and looked at me and said "Why are you smaller than the other mommy's?". It was pretty funny. Today and tonight were FUN, FUN, FUN!! Thanks Daddy Piper for coming up with a fun outing for us!

L funny story
On Thanksgiving, L was running by and sneaking licks off my mother's coconut cake. By the time dessert was served, there was a long line off one side. I laughingly told her if she was going to sneak frosting off a cake to turn it when she was done so no one would notice. Tonight after dinner, we were eating cupcakes that we baked this morning and I stole some frosting off one and she said "Be sure to turn it Mom!". It was super funny! It also reinforced the idea that kids really do listen to every word we say :- )

Thanksgiving 2008
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Okay maybe not wonderful but nice. Nothing too dramatic and really, that was all I was asking for today. To make it out alive so to speak :-) I acted snippy this morning when we got to our destination and immediately regretted it. I can remember every holiday having something negative about it, either a fight or a blowup or some raging from my mother and I hope not to re-create that and yet I almost did this morning. Oh well - Live and Learn I guess. The kids really enjoyed themselves with plenty of running around and attention from everyone and the food was yummy. The one point things could have gotten bad was when our run to Starbucks almost ruined the day. Everyone was waiting on us to get back, never mind it was 15 minutes till noon and the meal was due to be served at noon. With one nasty phone call things were looking downhill but that crisis was avoided since we were back at our destination at 11:57 AM - in time for the noon meal!! The rest of the visit went fine.
Best part of the day - my niece coming home with us to go shopping with me tomorrow. She has never experienced Black Friday so it should be fun to show her all the crazies. I remember seeing someone with a baby last year and thinking how crazy they were for dragging a baby out - guess that'll be me this year since I can't leave Baby J for fear he'll need to eat while I am gone!
Baby J's first Thanksgiving was uneventful. He had Mama's Milk and snoozed the day away. He still has thrush or rather I think it came back so we are battling that again. Any tips would be appreciated!!

First Smile
Baby J had his first "social" smile tonight!! He and Daddy Piper were playing in the floor and he smiled at his daddy : -)
Mahvelous Monday
And the day did go pretty much according to my mood - good when my mood was good and crabby when my mood went down hill....
When the kids woke up they were surprised to find mom already dressed for the day. It really did make a difference in the way the morning went. By 9 o'clock, I had dishes done, 2 loads of laundry washed, dried and folded, blueberry muffins in the oven, 3 games of Candyland Castle played, kids fed and dressed! We went to Safeway to get our groceries (spent $71 and saved $126!!!). The coupon thing works but is much more difficult when you have 3 little ones tagging along. Potty break, nursing break in the pharmacy dept., 2 spilled hot chocolates (in 2 separate parts of the store) and items not priced like the list said they would be. It took a full hour to get the groceries bought but the savings were well worth it. The deal was if the kids were good, we would go to the park. Well the kids were fairly decent so off to the park we went. Baby J was sooooo fussy and when I changed his diaper, I found out why - shoooweeee. During the diaper change, L had to use the potty (we use the potty more times in a day than anyone I know!) (oh and as I type this I am watching Jon & Kate and she bugs me more and more each time I watch her - what a B&*TCH!) Okay back to our day - L had to potty and we were very far from the potty but she held it for a minute until we could get to the potty together. She is such a big girl. Not to go off here but oh my gosh. She is really turning into such a big girl. She even helped S go potty at Safeway. I really treasure her, not just for the help but just for being such a kind-hearted little girl. Being her mom is such a wonderful gift. After the potty break, we got S's bike out (L didn't want hers) and we walked/rode along the horse trail for like an hour. It was very nice to be outside enjoying the fresh air and getting a bit of exercise. We even hiked down into the wash and talked about rattlesnakes :- )
Onto the afternoon... No naps - yep no naps! It sucked since I didn't get any sleep last night. I was very surprised that S didn't nap. Even Baby J was awake for most of the afternoon. After trying to get some stuff done (we did get school done), I gave up and took the kids outside. Amazing how fresh air can change my attitude and thus change the kids' attitude. We went walking looking for the runaway dogs and saw Daddy Piper coming down the road. This is always a nice thing : -) p.s. the dogs made their way home.
Tonight was a yummy dinner consisting of steak, twice baked potatoes, asparagus and strawberries. Everyone was pleased since the fam has been asking for steak for the last 3 days. Now I am off to lotion, jammy and read to my babies.
This was another great day that showed me how lucky I am to be home with our kids. I did make a point to text Daddy Piper this morning and express my appreciation for him. I hope I tell him enough that he is the greatest husband and father. He, in turn, called me and told me the same thing. I sure do love hearing that!!!

Sleep - Who Needs Ya?!!
Guess I don't :- ) Nobody (minus Daddy Piper anyway) got much sleep around here last night/this morning. I'm not quite sure why but the 3 chitlens and myself were all up 'round the clock thus I sit here clipping my coupons and reading some blogs while enjoying a delightful cup of coffee. Here's to hoping this good mood lasts the whole day long!
Thankful
I read on someone's blog that they are doing 12 days of Thankful. I didn't start early enough to participate in the whole thing so instead here are 12 things I am thankful for:
1. A husband that is supportive of me staying home with our children. He is wonderful provider, a loving husband and the most awesome father.
2. My 4 year old daughter and all the complicated, wonderful things that involves. She is so much like me. I try to remember how I was at that age and be who I would have wanted my mother to be - fun, on the ground playing, always with me. My daughter is one of the 4 most precious gifts in my life (her father and 2 brothers being the other 3!)
3. A 2 1/2 year old baby boy that still loves his mama to hold him, especially when he is just waking up. He is my snuggler and I love him for that.
4. A 7 week old baby boy that is still in my most favorite stage - the newborn stage. He just needs food, a diaper change and warm arms to keep him happy. He has completed our family. Just having him here makes me thankful for life.
5. Our home. It's not big or perfectly decorated or any of the other things I always thought I wanted but it's ours. Hubby can park the truck right outside. He has a shop to house his tools and such. There's lots of land for the kids to roam and great neighbors.
6. A dependable vehicle that holds all of us.
7. The ability to be home with our kids. This is really a dream come true for me.
8. Wonderful friends I have made along the way in my life. I never really had such great growing up but I have been truly blessed with some of the best friends as an adult.
9. Plenty of food in our cupboards. Feeding our family isn't something I need to worry about (even though I do sometimes).
10. Extended family. Even though things are perfect or even good with most of them most of the time, they are still something to be thankful for.
11. Our health. We are all pretty healthy with no major problems. We have had a few minor bumps but they have all worked out okay.
12. And last and absolutely not least, God. He has worked some miracles in my life this past few years. I feel his presence more and more in my life and for that I am ever so grateful.

Sunday Catch-up Time
Who has time to blog with 3 kids, 1 being a new baby? Not me, that's who!
Thursday: We went to MOPS. The fellowship was wonderful - for me and the children. Baby J did wonderful, even if he was awake during the entire 2 1/2 hours. This baby who always sleeps was awake the entire time! The older 2 really enjoyed their MOPPETS time. They made Thanksgiving piggy bank things and colored turkeys. They ran to me when I picked them up just chattering away about their fun time.
Friday: After a great night of sleep (Baby J did wonderful sleeping Thursday night!!), we had a Thanksgiving party at our house with our homeschool co-op group. First we did a little history lesson about what Thanksgiving is and had a story about it then we did this fun turkey craft. All the kids had a ton of fun doing it. We had 15 kids in all - 4 and 2 year olds. We didn't even get a bunch of paint all over the house! After that craft, we made turkey cookie things. Everyone enjoyed some yummy snacks and playing with our toys. The house ended up being cleaned early this morning before everyone got here :- ) Friday night I got enjoy some wonderful me time with a girlfriend of mine. We cruised the fabric store and the bookstore. This resulted in some great conversation that really restored me. I had been feeling so down lately.
Saturday: Baby J did great sleeping again Friday night but I woke up with a horrible sore throat. I went back to bed for awhile until Daddy Piper had to leave to get his massage (with a GC that we got him for Father's Day). I got the house cleaned up some while the kids played outside. They have spent a ton of time playing outside lately since the weather is just perfect right now. We ended up the day with some leftovers and watching a show together (Twister - the kids are loving storm chasers right now) while eating popcorn - YUM!
Sunday: I got some sleep this morning since Baby J did horrible sleeping last night. Daddy Piper played with the older 2 and cooked them french toast while I slept with Baby J. During naptime, Baby J, L and I went to the grocery store to score some deals with our Grocery Game list (spent $51 and saved $59 and have a TON of groceries, gotta love them coupons!!). She asked to bring along her stroller and baby and I let her, all the while knowing it was going to take a month of Sundays to grocery shop. Well guess what - I was so patient (thank you God)!! She drove her stroller all through the packed grocery store and stayed right with me. It sure made such a tedious job way more fun. It really could have gone either way but fortunately God granted me extra patience today and we made a memory I won't soon forget :-) She choked on her hot chocolate in the fruit aisle and normally I would have been upset about the mess she made and I wasn't - just more concerned for her than anything. I just wish I could bottle this patience from today and always feel that way. Tonight we went on a family walk for about 45 minutes. It was so nice to spend this quality time together. The kids loaded their bikes into the wagon and we pulled it up to the asphalt and let them ride. We all really enjoyed this time together tonight.
All in all, a very nice last few days. Still economic worries that are weighing heavily on my mind but a great reminder that the best things really are free!
p.s. I can't recall the exact day but I know it was last week when L came up to me and said "My toothbrush is filled with bacteria" I replied with a "Huh?" and she said it again and then followed it up with a "and I need a Spinbrush". Guess she has seen the commercial for the Spinbrush one too many times!

Productive Day
We were scheduled to attend a "toddler" hike today. Went outside and the battery was dead again on my van! So that nixed the idea of going anywhere. I was able to turn it into an extremely productive day. My house looks wonderful! Or at least the front part of the house looks good - the back didn't get touched : -) We are having our homeschool group over on Friday for a Thanksgiving lesson and craft so the front was super important to get cleaned. The kids played outside for like 3 hours this morning and they were FILTHY when they came in. I made them strip outside so they wouldn't track any dirt into my clean house. Tonight, after Daddy Piper got home, we went and got a new battery so there shouldn't be anymore battery trouble. I am just very thankful that it was dead before we left so we weren't stuck up at the mountain without a way home. Daddy Piper did throw battery cables in the van for future needs.
Baby J seems to be eating and sleeping good so the thrush must be on its way out. I still think he sleeps too much. We see the dr on 12/4 for his 2 month appt. I can't believe in 2 weeks, he'll be 2 months old. I am so thankful that I didn't tie my tubes... Baby J might not be our last :-)
This afternoon we loaded up the wagon with the dishes our neighbor had brought dinner over in awhile back and took them back to her. It was nice to chat with her for awhile and the walk was very enjoyable with the kids. I really love being home with my babies. I hope I can do this forever. In this economy, who knows though. As long as Daddy Piper's work stays steady, I can stay home. I joined a coupon thing so hopefully I can start saving more of his hard earned money. I looked at Baby J today and the thought of leaving him put a real fear in my heart, like none I had ever felt before. I guess I just gotta have faith that all will be okay.
