My First Day

My first Day without Kyle. Wow! I am so glad I made it through. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. I am glad the Lord blessed me this time, by allowing Kyle to be home for 6 weeks. The Lord knew I would need him. Anyways, the morning went really well. I think the hardest part for me is finding time to shower between feeding Caleb, then Allison and then getting them ready for the day. I also had a hard time with Allison always wanting me to play while I was feeding Caleb. It breaks my heart to say not at this time. She is learning to be patient but it is hard for a 3 year old. I finally did a puzzle and played a game with her, but Allison wanted more of me. I am not sure how to break that all up.

Around 130 pm I got Caleb down and Allison in her room for a quiet time. The quiet time did not last long. Allison kept coming in and out of her room. Allison's door kept waking Caleb so he ended up sleeping on me for awhile. It made the afternoon long and a little tough with a whiny 3 year old. By the time Kyle got home Allison was doing a lot better. She now had a play mate to hang out with.

I do feel that my life is more hectic. I realized I can not multi task by talking on the phone, feeding a newborn and listen to a 3 year old talk to me. I really have to learn to take time out for myself as well. The good thing is Grandma takes Allison for a night so that helps me get some needed time to myself. We shall see how fall goes when Grandma has to go back to work to teach. I love my new life with my son and daughter. I just pray that I will survive.
