Day in the Life Post & “You Know You’re a Mom if. . . “

January 9, 2013

Some mama revelation:

You also know you’re a mom with a newborn and a
sleeping husband if in the morning he says
“he slept pretty good last night huh!”…………….not. ;)

You know you’re a mom if your idea of relaxation is a solo trip to Target. ;)

And you know you’re a mom if you can’t use the bathroom without
fingers under the door or someone busting in asking to sit and watch. (seriously?)


Still not getting much sleep these days.
Micah seems to think night time is when the sun comes up…..
even with his sisters having a dance party in high heels right next to him…he sleeps.

I’m sure you could add more of these to the list!
comment below if you have any good ones…
or join the conversation on my blog’s facebook page! ;)

Cute Baby Giggles.
You’re welcome.
haha.. seriously though..my phone is
busting with photos of this cutie.
He is solid. My little butterball.
I’m not a fan of the sleeping only 10 minutes at a time at night… not a fan.
Good thing he is so cute. ;)

LIFE.
Our days feel jam packed…even if we don’t go anywhere.
And most days.. we don’t! Haha. I am trying to tackle life with 3 indoors…
before I brave the world with them on my own. ;)
The other night though ben and I went to see Les Mis.
Micah crashed our date…but he was soo good! ::sigh of relief::
The Freezer crock pot meals have been a big help!
I am already looking up new recipes to add into our mix of favorites for next time!
There was a shark in the water and they
had to put everyone in their boat. Obviously…
(please overlook the hole in sophie’s pants. her FAVORITE pants…
even though I bought the same pair..she knows………?!
I need to patch them up.)

Sophie loves to cuddle up with Micah.
But I’m not so sure Micah is feeling it. ;)
Soon though He’ll be able to roll over and smoosh sophie.
I’m not worried.

Someone missed their daddy…
this is sienna as soon as he walked in the door..
and then micah later in the evening.
obviously…daddy is comfy.

And obviously the floor is comfy too…
I wish this was me.

Noticed this the other morning…
I think the current residents of the doll house have a little hoarding problem…
and in other news…EVERYONE made it to the manger!
Happy Epiphany everybody!

TOUCHDOWN.
Still recovering from the national championship game.
big notre dame family.
And that is our family update.
Now I need to go…and intercept sienna
from changing her clothes for the 10th time today.

    Oh Micah’s cheeks! Adorable.
    I agree with every single one of those you know you’re a mama…
    Or how about eating off your children’s leftovers and calling it a meal. Bad.

    You know you’re a mom when you ask your husband to take the baby with him to put the older ones to bed just to get a two minute break…only to listen to them over the monitor the whole time. FAIL!

    Ha! Love it! Although my babies are slightly older, I still can’t eat a meal in peace without being interrupted to go get something for them! I think I’m gonna have to give the crockpot thing a whirl to help free up some of my time too. It sounds just too easy, at least after the first prep day :)

    you’ve gotten even funnier and wittier since adding on another!! haha. i feel like momhood does that actually. sometimes i feel like just saying it, when before i’d not say it. lol.

    i agree with all of the above. especially the, “oh, the babe slept well tonight, huh?”- husband ;)

    hope you get more sleep very soon!

    He is so precious! I nod my head in agreement with everything you said. I second Anna’s comment about eating your kids’ leftovers as a meal too! My son is now 2 weeks old and he’s up all night and sleeps during the day while his brothers are wrecking havoc.
