We’ve fallen apart.

October 25, 2011 by Adrienne

After a new baby is born around here, for a little while, everyone is enamored with the baby and jealousy waits. And then, it all falls apart for a little while.

We’ve fallen apart.

Charlotte doesn’t want Momma to hold the baby, Ruby’s the most obstinate three year old I’ve met, and tears abound from the older three. Life’s so interesting right now. You just never know if there’s going to be a meltdown when you say it’s time for supper, or if a shirt won’t stay tucked in, chores need to be done, or if it’s time to change a diaper. Or, or, or…

Hold on. It’s a bumpy ride and Momma’s low on sleep. Aren’t you glad you don’t live in this house right now?

← So glad that’s over!
Well, then. The timing of that could definitely have been worse. →

    Ugh. Why can’t we all just get along? I cannot imagine what the transition period is like for you. Praying that all will get settled into a groove with each other and you will get some rest.-Michelle
