The Last 4 weeks | New Baby, New House

They say time flies the older we get... or maybe it's time flies when you're having fun. I guess both would certainly be the case for us.

It's been a whirl-wind of a month. 

Mom came to visit!

We had a baby!

I'm on maternity leave - thank goodness. 

The hubs left for KA Convention in St. Louis. 

We moved!

Mom had emergency mouth surgery x 2. 

The hubs left for another work trip in Colorado... and I started to wonder how in the world I'm ever going to handle two kids at once? ha

It's been a really GOOD month. And it's been a really Challenging month.

Our two year old stopped sleeping. The last night at our old house she woke up at 1 am and stayed up all night. After moving into the new house she started waking up at 5 AM - for the day. This has since halted... however, last night we did have a two hour fiesta in the middle of the night. With mom bouncing from room to room to keep both babies happy. 

My mom arrived a week before Ford was born with a broken elbow and wrist. Not the most ideal for baby help, but she was a huge help with Annalee and kept Big Sis while we were at the hospital! The first week we moved into our new house she woke up with a swollen jaw... that progressively got worse over the next couple days and resulted in emergency surgery (twice) and two teeth pulled. We are finally on the up-swing for her. As you all probably know, mouth pain is the worst pain. 

We finally have internet at the house!  However, I'm pretty sure our downstairs AC has stopped working.  Thank goodness for some cool days and nights ahead. Especially since the hubs is traveling. 

We have been flooded with great meals and visits from friends. Thank you for keeping us fed! 

We have had really happy moments with Big Sis. And REALLY challenging ones. She loves her baby brother, but loves attention more. Some days are better than others - but we are trying to keep her on her schedule as much as possible, give her lots of undivided attention, shower her with love and gifts  - and royally spoil her. Which our peds says now is as good a time as any. Bring on the ice cream for breakfast and cozy coupe ride in the house. They aren't little for long they say, right? 

On a happy happy note - our new house is amazing! We have super fun and generous neighbors! We have loved our 6 weeks with GranDe here and will be sad to see her go next week. But, Gia arrives on Sept 5 and can't wait to have her in Lex! Baby Ford is a sweet, sweet baby and we couldn't ask for a better eater and sleeper. 

Just thought I would log-in for an update. Working on a monthly update for Mr. Ford tomorrow... and lots of house updates to come. Stay tuned... our Fixer-upper on Junkin is looking quite great!

Happy Thursday, friends!
