Singing a new tune about more kids

My favorite store lately-urban renewal is a really cool store on blvd. I am not even sure how it works. It may be a consignment store, but they have old and new stuff for very reasonable prices. They always have unique finds there. I found Bryson and Brielle desks for their rooms. They were so excited! The bed I found the day before Kade was born was from there as well.

Bryson's 4 drawer desk real wood ($40)

Cody and Kristin came down last weekend. It was really nice to see them! We were also able to meet cute and very sweet addison. I am sure seeing how Kade is made them really appreciate a baby that doesn't cry. I was able to get some cute pictures of her because she was so easy. I haven't even been able to get any more of Kade since he was 3 days old because of his random difficult episodes. I had to remind myself that I did have a very easy first and second baby. I hope I didn't scare them away from a 3rd or 4th because you love them all the same and they do eventually outgrow it (hopefully sooner than later) I am now just hoping Kade's doesn' last as long as trey's difficult infant stage which seemed to be a yr.

I really need to get some pictures above the bed now. I took the bed spread off so you could see the platform. I love not having a bed skirt and I love that it is closer to the ground (easier to kneel at). Heavy solid wood and Leather headboard ($400)
Brielle's vintage old school girl desk ($20). They fight over sitting at it. Also a perfect place to keep her school work. She started Kindergarten this year. Just like any other one starting kindergarten she was very excited. It is crazy to think my mom just finished with the school thing. This was the first year in 34 (?) yrs. that she hasn't had someone is school and we are just beginning. It is always crazy to have one of your kids start kindergarten because it is the first day of sooo many school days. You only have that day once!
Cam called at 3 o'clock to see how I was doing and he could tell in my voice that I wasn't great so he ran home and I couldn't hold back the tears. Kade had been crying all morning and wouldn't sleep. I have been extra emotional this past week. Kade has some great days but the days that he won't sleep he is just crying. I keep thinking he is growing out of it but today it wore on me. probably because Trey and Brielle both have a fever as well. Trey wanted me to hold him and the house kept getting messier and messier. When Cam came home Kade fell asleep and Cam cleaned up everything and I was able to rest (blog). I am so grateful for him and the times when Kade will sleep. When people would ask how many kids I was going to have my response used to be, if this baby is as hard as Trey was, we may be done. I can't say that anymore because I know I don't really want to be done at 4. Now I am saying, I am going to keep having kids until I have an easy baby so that I can end on a good note :) We will see if that changes. I am soo grateful for the good days that Kade has. He has actually been pretty good in the car and stroller (for our workouts which is very important!) He is getting soooo big and it doesn't help that he stops crying when I nurse him because I end up nursing him a lot ( I am glad I am through the first month of nursing-the first two weeks to a month is always hard and I had nursing issues with Trey that I haven't had) I thought kids don't get sick in the summer-my kids have gotten sick twice since he was born. fortunately because I have been nursing, Kade hasn't gotten sick. I really can't complain that bad because I am getting good sleep. We go to bed around 10 and he sleeps next to me and nurses all night. When he starts to wake up I just roll him over to the other side and he goes right back to sleep. I have never had to be up with him at night. Now I feel bad about complaining about him because he has been asleep for 4 hrs now and I need him to wake up to eat.

Leanne, Jessica, Amie and I have started up our meal swap again and I love it. this week we had flatbread pizzas on the grill, french dip roast beef sandwiches, and yummy chicken and noodles. a cooking group is the best. I recommend a group of 4. Everyone makes one meal 4 times and then you swap. You only have to shop and prepare for one meal and you get 4 great homemade meals. Get a group of 4 people that you see on a regular basis that preferrably live close together.
