I was still not feeling great today. But I have the nicest friends--one offered to take Emi, and two others brought over treats within the past two days. Feeling grateful!
Today was great. I got to workout, take a nap, shower, grab a bialy at Kossars, and spend quality time with my family. What more could a girl ask for? Anddddd... We had the biggest win today. Before we headed to art class, Emi put on her coat and shoes without me even asking. She has never gotten herself ready to go out the door without reminders. I was (and still am) blown away! (Marty told me that it just goes to show how much Emi loves her art class.) Mom and Macy time while sister was at preschool.
This week has been rough for our family. We've all been sick with bad sore throats and coughs and it seems like there's no end in sight. Add on that it's quarter end (Marty's busy season), and we've been barely surviving. I think I'd be horrified if I added up the total time Emi and I have sat watching shows this week. Yesterday, I finally thought Emi and I were on the up and up and then she had two hysterical crying fits during her nap. It was so sad. At night, we put her down for bed, and she slept great the first hour or two before Marty and I went to bed. As Marty and I were going to bed I told him I was close to my breaking point. (He's been the one who's been sickest and been working lots of hours...so he should be the one complaining but I was telling him I was instead. haha.) Anyway, just a little bit after we went to bed Emi started crying again. Marty went in and helped her and she was able to go down for a little bit but then she just kept get...
Marty and I have loved being a family of four, but it's been a lot so far! There's been discussions about future children and whether we'll stop at 2 kids or not. We both feel very happy with where our family is at at this point in time with our 5 month old and 3 year old. The discussion of another child is closed for now. However, I was putting away Macy's newborn and 0-3 month clothes and I felt very emotional! What if we are done after 2 kids and we'll never get to use these clothes (with so many memories attached to them) again? What if we never have another girl and I'll have to give all them away? I just let myself feel all the feels! Because it's okay to feel sad that our baby is already feeling "older." It's okay to feel sad that these clothes may never be used by us again. But it's also been so great that we've got to use these clothes for both our girls and that we have so many happy memories with them. No matter what happens...
