I have a NEW location

Thank you for visiting! I have a new location on the web and would love for you to join me there.


I'm still blogging about my three girls and my life as a working mom--just with a new blog name.

Hope to see you there!

Things I'm Learning

Here's some stuff I'm learning in my life right now, which will also serve to catch you up with the No Crying Mama.

~Three is a lot different than two. I'm sure once we're in more of a routine and the baby is a few months old it will get a bit easier. But three is a whole new world. (However, if money, space and jobs weren't an issue, I secretly would still want 4!)

~Third babies spend a lot of time in the carseat and swing.

~Third babies also start to protest how much time they spend in these seats by dinnertime and demand to be held. I don't blame her and I wish I had more time to hold her. Once big sisters are in bed, Lily gets a lot of cuddling from mom and dad.

~Drive-thru Starbucks are a mom's best friend. I know where all of them are in a 10 mile vincinty and am often found organizing my errands so that I can drive thru. I'm drinking decaf, but it still perks me up.

~I can easily see how people get in a Starbucks a day habit. Although I limit mine to 2 a week or so.

~All of the exercise during pregnancy was worth it, no matter how exhausted it made me sometimes. I'm bouncing back from my c-section much better and will hopefully have 10lbs or less to work at losing.

~Lily must still miss my womb because she sleeps best at night curled up right next to me

~This sleeping position usually causes me a stiff neck and other various aches and pains.

~Bean is an amazing dad and husband, no matter how high the bar gets raised, he sails over it.

~A full and busy life means a full heart and it's totally worth it.

Add a third was the most challenging for us too! But #4 was so easy - he just joined the already full life! Glad you are bouncing back easily - I know 10# for you will be a cinch :) I would not trade my quiverful for anything, life is so full and amazing, even with all the challenges!

Did you get the tubal or is #4 a possibility? Glad you are settling in well!

I did not get a tubal. Chickened out a few weeks before..mostly just concerned about jacking my body when I have so many years left before "the change"! LOL. Bean plans on getting the big-V...so it still would have to be an act of God!
