So, when everyone is telling you about how busy your life is going to be with a new baby, they don’t really mention the part about how your life really got busy because of all the relatives coming to visit. . .
\nIn May we had Nate’s parents come for a week with a visit from his brother in there, then we went home for a week, then my parents and sister (and almost brother-in-law) came for a week with a visit from an aunt in there. Then we had our first respite baby for 4 days. Its been almost a week now and I finally feel like we are getting back into a ‘normal’ routine with Hannah. We finally got her crib back in its correct home this afternoon and I feel like I can actually use her room again. Even if it sounds like I’m complaining, I really do enjoy all the visits and its great when there is someone around to take Hannah for just a little while.<\/p>\n
We started back in the nursery at church today with the 6-8 month olds. We only had 5 today (for three of us) but they all wanted to cry at the same time. It was very tiring but of course, we enjoy serving.<\/p>\n
So, since Hannah is sleeping, I’m catching up on everyone else’s lives and just relaxing. I know it won’t last long. . .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
