Exhaustion
I am sitting in my recliner holding my sleeping baby and it has just hit me I am EXHAUSTED. I wish I could curl up and go to sleep but then who would watch the chipmunks with Jacob? Mark has graciously agreed to do the grocery run this week.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy our life but it is hard getting back in to the swing of things. I think its my desire to make sure my children have great memories of their childhood that pushes me to do more. At the end of the day if Jacob and Madison had a good day then my job is done. Being a working mom is not my choice but since I have to work its important for me to be good at what I do and to show them that you have to have a strong work ethic but remember your family is who you spend your life with and who you make memories with.
Now for the updates...
Madison had a good checkup on Friday. She has almost grown 4 inches since birth she is now 24 1/4 inches. She has gained 4lbs and 7oz at 11lbs 11oz. She is just so long. She measures in 6 month sleepers but they engulf her as most of her weight is bone so she is wearing 0-3 months in most everything.
Jacob spent the night with Mark's parents on Friday and met us at the Easter Egg scramble on Saturday morning. Its a Peters family tradition and I'm glad I was able to work it out to leave work long enough to see it. Jacob got one of the prize eggs and won a duckie! Maybe next year he will upgrade to a basket. We ran in to Jacob's godparents at the scramble. We didn't get to visit long because I had to get back to work.
Well I have to run Mark is back and the boys are grilling hamburgers.
Happy Holy Week everyone and may the Masters crowds stay out of the way and not cause too many headaches!
