1st week solo

I survived my first week at home with three kiddos. I can't say it was easy or uneventful but I made it. We spent a few hours at the ER one night when Holt got a super high fever and then spent the rest of the night up with him throwing up at home. However, God showed us in a small way that he won't give us more than we can handle..as Camden slept from 9:30 to 5:30 that night. This was the first time she had ever gone more than 5 hours..and I'm still waiting for it to happen again so I can enjoy it this time :) However, I didn't have to worry about nursing her and getting her back down and could be with Holt when he was so sick. We did make it to the pool one day and even stayed 3 hours, I did have a mommy's helper half of the time who was a saint and made this possible. Pierce got a fever this weekend but thank goodness the throw up part didn't follow. I also realized that I have created these two boys who go crazy if we are in the house all day. As much as I love being a stay at home mommy I have always had to get out of the house and do something with them each day, even if this meant a simple trip to a store or the park. But it backfires on me when one of them is sick and we are stuck at home for the day. We ALL go crazy! So at the end of the week, I appreciated the time Jason had with us even more, was once again very thankful I have parents in town, and proud of myself that I can handle three children.
