Weekly Quote

"You will experience great joy in life as you eradicate adult-onset pessimism and substitute childlike optimism."
-Elder Perkins

Here is to a new year of being more optimistic and more like my amazing children. They teach me everyday about how to be better.

Update

It has been a while since I have blogged, but tomorrow marks my last OB visit, and I am super excited to stop making trips up to Nashville to my doctors office. 

I am doing well and we are already on a schedule. :) Hurray OCD me!!! 

I have been so happy with the discovery that food DOES INDEED taste good. I've eaten a PB&J almost everyday and it has been beyond delicious. The dinners I make have suddenly taken on a new form of deliciousness. 

I love having my baby Benjamin around. He's such a good baby and sleeps so well!!! He really is a golden baby, I never thought I would actually get one of those, or even that they existed. 

 
Hanging out while the bothers jump around him. 

Joshua put his cars like this while I was napping. He woke me up and said he had a surprise for me and that I would be really excited. Guess I have helped develop an OCD child! Yeah! 
Friday night sleepover, with pizza, of course. Man, I love these boys!!!! 

Look who matches church chairs. He's getting so big and I LOVE it!!!

Benjamin

I can't believe June is over. It has been a crazy month. But I am doing well and enjoying my perfect little boy! He has been such a great baby! He sleeps well and hardly ever cries. He likes being around someone but doesn't have to be rocked or bounced. Which is something we are not use too--Joshua and Samuel always had to be rocked and we spent long nights trying to get them to sleep. 

My recovery has gone well, minus a HUGE detour with mastitis. That was probably the worse pain I have ever felt. I spent two days with severe chills, high fever, and body pains in every part of my body. 

People have asked me if I am getting stir crazy and I can honestly say, no! I just want to go back to my bed and sleep. I don't need "me" time yet, I just want to nap. But it is probably due to the many friends I have had visit me. I have been really blessed with visits, meals, gifts, and one neighbor even mowed our lawn. 

Now my mom is here and I am having fun monopolizing her time. 

i forgot how horribly slow recovery is and am trying really hard not to be frustrated with my lack of mobility. But life is good and we are grateful for three beautiful healthy boys!!
