Friday is here and the girls and I have survived the week! Adalyn is also three weeks old today, and I'd like to say that we are getting a routine established, but I honestly can't. Some days are good days while other days, she won't let me put her down, which means that not a lot gets accomplished.
Since the girls and I ran some errands on Monday, I decided that Tuesday would be a stay home day where I could get some house cleaning done.
Adalyn wore cloth for the first time. She's 8 lbs, which is typically the starting point to most cloth diapers, and I decided to start with prefolds and covers. I kind of forgot that they're a pain, and part of me is thinking that disposables would be so much easier for the third baby, but we have a huge cloth stash, and my hubby might kill me if I wanted to sell them all after begging to buy them all! I'm hoping it gets easier as she gets bigger..... I also adjusted all of our one size diapers down to her size, and i'm putting those on her because they're so much easier than the prefolds.
I'm kind of easing into cloth right now, and putting cloth on her for a few diaper changes a day, and then at night she's in disposables, or when we are out of the house, she's in sposies.
I'm also too cheap to buy another package of newborn diapers. Babies grow out of them so fast, that I don't want to buy a huge package and then have tons left over and have no use for them.
DJ and I were helping G clean her room one night, and found baby Rapunzel.... with a beard and mustache. Apparently, Megan found an ink pad and rubbed it all over Rapunzel's face. I wish I could say that i've taken the time to try to clean it up, but I haven't.
I kind of look the bearded baby look on her.
................
I had a few errands to run on Wednesday, so I decided it would be my first day running errands with all three girls in tow.
I ended up sleeping later than I had planned, so we didn't get out of the house until almost 11! It took me about two hours to get everyone dressed and ready, including myself.
The trip started off rough with Gretchen, but thankfully, she straightened up, and Megan did so good with holding hands and "touching the car" while I put Addy's carseat in the car.
We ran to the bank after my two quick errands (seriously, it took us about an hour), and Adalyn started to cry, and I knew she was getting hungry. As we left the bank, Megan said, "I want french fry!" because apparently she thought we were at a drive through restaurant. So, we went to Sonic, because it was time for lunch and I knew that if I drove home, I'd have a hungry baby and two hungry big girls that would have to wait on their lunch until their little sister was fed.
We pulled into Sonic and I took Adalyn out of her seat, ordered, fed her, and then our food came. G was so helpful and gave MC her food, and then she took her food and we all managed to eat and not make a huge mess.
When we got home, I put MC down for her nap, sent G to her room to play, and I fell asleep on the couch while Addy slept in the swing. She woke up and I snuggled with her some more as she fell back to sleep.
Thursday was another stay at home morning day. G and MC played so well together; it makes my heart happy to see them play and get along.
Adalyn conspired against me when it was time for me to get a shower, but I finally managed to get her to sleep, so I could shower and get dressed.
Thankfully, I started getting dressed early in the day, and just managed to get dressed in shifts. I took a shower, took care of baby..... managed to get make up finished, decided to pump.... dried my hair... took care of baby.... put on clothes... took care of baby.... MC woke up.....
I put this cloth on Addy, because it velcro's and I figured it would give a more snug fit... she just looked so cute while I was feeding her that I had to snap a pic.
MC got in some snuggles while she held Adalyn for a bit.
Thursday night was Football 101 at the University of Tulsa. Even though we are entering our third season with Tulsa, this is the first time that I was able to attend Football 101.
Most universities put on a ladies clinic and give a run down of what exactly football is, how it's played, what the jargon is, and what the abbreviations stand for.
I got a babysitter for G and MC and took Adalyn with me. We were served dinner and listened to all of the coaches talk about what positions they coach.
Here's my hubby..... DJ is in charge of all the video for the football team, and the room where Football 101 was held, has been totally revamped this summer for team meetings with new projectors, screens, lighting, computers, etc. He's able to operate everything with a few touches on the iPad, and I must say that while i've seen the bits and pieces come together over the last few weeks, I was very impressed as I sat and watched him turn the lights up and down and operated the screens just by touching a few buttons.
We also watched the hilight video that he made, and Coach B spoke very nice words about DJ and the hard work that he puts into his video so the coaches and players have film to review.
He was working until 11:00 pm Wednesday night, and he honestly hasn't seen G and MC in two days, and I know I give him a hard time about working so late, but he's so good at his job and he loves it.
It's only noon on Friday, while i'm writing this, but this morning the big girls let me sleep until 9:30! I was shocked when I rolled over and realized how late it was! I kind of felt bad because while G was happily entertaining herself, MC was still in her room (playing) but not able to get out and neither girl had had breakfast! I jumped out of bed, got MC and fixed both of the girls french toast and managed to pump before Adalyn woke back up. Today's going to be another stay home day. I have laundry to put away and more laundry to wash. The dishes had to be done, and hopefully I'll be able to run the vacuum cleaner and mop the kitchen floor. Other than that, it's going to be a lazy day and I couldn't be more happy about that!
