Well, we had another baby.  Her name is Aubrey Anne and she is now 11 weeks old.  My pregnancy went by quickly and there were no problems.  She arrived on February 28, at 3:41 a.m. with a full head of black curly hair and blue eyes.  She weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz. and was 21 in. long.  I took her to her 2 month checkup a week ago and she already weighs 14 lbs. 3 oz. and is 25 in. long.  She is wearing 6 months clothes.  She is amazing and wonderful and precious and giggles at us all the time.  She eats well and sleeps over 6 hours consecutively every night.  I love her so very very much!  Now, with all that being said...

Having two children under the age of 3 is FREAKING HARD!!!!  Add to that a stepdaughter in her tweens and you have my life, otherwise known as the most exciting, boring, terrifying, exhausting, exhilarating, mystifying, depressing, joyful, precious, and miserable time ever.  Ever.

I'm starting this new blog to clear my head.  Most days I feel like I spend all my time running from one child's minor emergency to the other one's amazing new experience to the next's terrifying illness or injury.  It is exhausting.  I need some time to myself to sort out all the ideas running through me as I sprint from one tiny person to the next.  As if on cue, as I am describing this, Jolee appears behind me, asking, "Mommy, what you doing?"  And then Kyle chimes in, "Yeah, what are you doing?"  It never ends.  It never ends.
