Life

We are settling into a routine around here with three kiddos, and I am so grateful for each moment even when they occasionally make me want to pull my hair out. ;)

Honestly, I am just trying to savor every second, and in my spare time, I am trying to come up with clever responses for the the multiple comments that we get when we are out and about. The most common one is, "Wow! You have your hands full!" It is often paired with an incredulous look as they watch me wrangle our 3 and half year old and our two year old while wearing our newborn.

People are always asking if I need help so apparently, I look desperate... but I'm not, and it is just my new normal.

I volunteer for a prolife group in our area, and the other day, I spoke with a woman on the phone who was full of regret after she took her pregnant daughter for an abortion. Thankfully, the daughter talked her parents out of the abortion after receiving some information from a wonderful sidewalk counselor. I scheduled her daughter for an ultrasound, and when I got off the phone, I just sat there with tears in my eyes and praised God that they chose life.

I went and picked up my baby and kissed him, and I thanked God for entrusting me with this sweet new soul. Having three kids in 3 and a half years may look crazy to the world, but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.

My hair has been in a pony tail for all but two days in the last 5 weeks; I have fallen asleep at 10 pm on the couch on several occasions; my oldest has been late for preschool every week since school started, and on days when we are home all day, the two year old runs around with only a diaper on her bottom half.

It may get crazy sometimes, but it is so worth it.

Stay tuned! I have a few posts in mind, and I will definitely be doing one on my total consecration to Jesus through Mary in the near future. :)
