Elizabeth is Two Weeks!

Hello all! I'm going to go out on a limb and officially call week 2 at home with 3 children under the age of 4 a "success." Everyone is still relatively happy most of the time, Elizabeth is so kindly still sleeping for 3-4 hour stretches at night, and then returning quickly to sleep after a feeding, and I still feel like I can function. I am very well-rested compared to what I was expecting, and my house isn't a complete disaster area, despite Cline being at work all week. Of course, I do have to give some most of the credit to the kind relatives and friends who are helping me this week!! Mimi and Pa and LaLa and Katie have been wonderful at entertaining the girls while Elizabeth and I perfect our nursing skills, and we have had a steady supply of meals this week, as well, relieving me of one more thing to figure out! Nonetheless, I have had all 3 kids on my own for a few hours here and there, and while it is very busy and requires some prioritizing, it seems manageable! Here are some pictures from our week!

This is Elizabeth's favorite sleeping position :) (I scooted her up right after taking this picture, and we only do this during the day when I am awake to make sure she is safe). Abby Kate and Christa love to get up there with her, and this particular day, Abby Kate decided it would be fun to run in place on the bed. She is a trip!

Awake and ready for another outing - a trip to the Outlet malls for Spring clothes!

Officially 2 weeks old!


A sweet friend made this blanket for her - you can't see it in this picture, but she included a green shamrock in the corner since Elizabeth was born on St. Patrick's Day. I love that!! Our babysitter's mother made the booties for her, and they are too cute!

Another attempt at getting a good picture of all 3 girls! This is about the best I've done so far :)

Have a great week!
