My Life...in a nutshell!

I've been asked several times what my day is like, well here it is! It's busy but so wonderful! Here's just today. Of course, I didn't include all the little things I do, like stopping to fold laundry to soothe a cry, or clean up a little spit up, etc. I also was lucky and didn't have any huge spit ups or big blow out diapers today that required extra cleanup time or a bath, but if this happened, I would have to surrender the laundry or dishes to another time or day! There's not a whole lot of time for leeway! :) There's not really a good time to start my schedule since it's essentially on a 3 hour perpetual rotation, but I decided to start with the 7:00 feeding, since that would be a typical start to a day!

Slow your growin' Reese Cup!!!

My baby is rolling over! Ok...ONE of my babies, that is! Reese decides to roll over out of the blue today! I'm very excited, but very sad too! They are growing way too quickly! I'm trying to savor every moment, but the moments themselves are too fast! My Dad and Kathy were here visiting, so I'm sure she was just showing off for Papaw and Mamaw! :)
