Adjusting to Our New Life!

Daddy watching Jada

Multitasking has an entire new meaning.  I knew I could multitask before Jada, but I had no idea there wasn’t a limit.  This morning I found myself pumping, bouncing Jada in my lap, answering emails on my phone, and holding the heating pad against my chest.  Thankfully, Bill called around 10am to see if I needed him to come by for a few to help with Jada.  I took a quick glance in the mirror to find that I needed a shower, had PJs on, and hadn’t brushed my hair or teeth.  After getting dressed, I made a mad dash to the grocery store (not because we are getting 2 inches of snow in the am) and rushed through each aisle.   I tried to sit down several times to write a quick post, but continued to get interrupted by sweetie pie!  So, right now, she is wide awake in her crib and talking away.  I’m watching the monitor as I type.

The dogs are doing an amazing job watching Jada, literally.  Below is a picture of Zilker laying her head next to hers.  Tiki was sitting next to my foot as I took the photo.  Next, I plan on holding Jada (in the sling), sweep, sing to her, and keep the dogs out of the dirt pile all at the same time.  Wish me luck!

    I love these photos! I confess, I got a little teary looking at them, seeing sweet Jada settling into her life at home after so much prayer. God is so good!

    We hope to see you guys soon! We miss you!
