So everyone told me the "third kid is the hardest." Everyone said, "you can't get anything done", and everyone said, "are you ready for this?" Ok, ok it is the hardest. I feel exhausted and completely dysfunctional. My house still screams "Merry Christmas", and my laundry is screaming to "get me done." How could I go from the so called "nesting" stage where I had quite a bit of energy and had a million and one things going on and getting most if not all accomplished to actually having this whole month off from my church callings, Max having 2 weeks off of school, Jay being off of work for 2 weeks and not being able to accomplish anything? Well maybe it does have a little to do with this little stinker.....
Maybe I just like hanging out holding him all morning while I watch Mia trying over and over to fly like tinkerbell. Or snuggling him while Mia naps and I talk to my sister on the phone for I don't know at least an hour about pretty much nothing! Or maybe the fact that I have blogged more the past 3 days than I have in the past 6 months. Whatever it is I am going to whip myself into shape.....
yes you heard me correctly, "shape" both physically and mentally. I am going to be the proud owner of the bender ball! If you haven't heard of it then you obviously aren't up in the middle of the night feeding your baby watching TV that is worthless. Regardless I ordered it and will let you all know if it works. Jay thinks it probably will but he said I'll have to actually "do it." As far as getting in "shape mentally" I'm still working on how that's all going to work out.
So here I am. Christmas crap surrounding me, target bags with stuff that needs put away sitting on my floor and an empty fridge that hasn't seen new groceries since like Christmas....but I think I'm going to go hold this little punkin and watch myself some Ugly Betty. I'll do all that stuff later...he's WAY more fun.
And p.s. my conversation with my sister wasn't about nothing. She was telling me how Jack told her while he and Max were at Grammie and Papa's house playing outside they were "practicing" talking naughty! :)

Jill, I think Katie feels your pain. 3 is a killer! I remember not having enough hands any more. BUT.... after 3 it's a breeze so you can't stop now. Max will be bigger and much better help so don't give up! I am so glad you have been updating. I was tired of nothing new to look at! Your house will still be there tomorrow. Don't sweat it! Just sit down, get the clicker and some ice cream and hold the baby! That's the only way to go right now!:)
First off, congratulations on that sweet baby. He is adorable! Second, I would be doing the same thing. I mean you did just have a baby and your 3rd at that! Enjoy him! It goes so fast.
P.S. I still fee like I get nothing done and my baby is almost 4!!
Congratulations hes so cute! But I have to say you are scaring me my third is coming in August! I have been hearing the same thing about the third baby. My house is a disaster right now and I only have the two so im in trouble.
amen my little rat!!
He is adorable! Seriously enjoy because they grow so fast. 3 is hard because you only have 2 hands but it does get easier. 5 was the killer for me. I feel like I can never get caught up! But it is so fun and worth all the stuff that doesn't get done.
