The Bird's Nest: Time Flies By

I can't believe Haylee is already a week and a half old! We are busy trying to fast and furiously finish our bully barn so we can move boxes out of the spare bedroom, which then will become Haylee's room. Right now she is sleeping in the pack and play in our room and her clothes are in boxes in the corner of our room. But all in all she is doing great. She still has her days and nights mixed up but she's a good little eater and is pretty content when she is awake.
Sadie is such a great helper and big sister! She really tries hard to play with Lexi while I feed Haylee, clean up the toys for me, hand me things I forget to grab before sitting down to my hour of chair time. She is great. She loves to hold Haylee and talk to her when she is sitting in the bouncy chair.
Lexi is very infatuated with her sister, she constantly thinks Haylee is in need of something. A blanket, then the plug, her diaper changed, a toy, another blanket, milk and so on. She tries to help and does pretty good, and she loves to give Haylee a kiss or love. Haylee gets about 50 a day from Lexi. It is cute to watch. Lexi gets a little jealous when I feed Haylee, that seems to be the time she wants to sit in my lap. But she handles it pretty well with a distraction from big sister.
Cory is wonderful about keeping Haylee during the night if I can't get her to go back to sleep after she is fed. He was up last night from 1 a.m. until 3 a.m. when she finally fell asleep. he doesn't complain about it and always takes a turn for me so I can sleep a portion of the night. Thanks Babe!
I am remembering the soreness, sleeplessness, and craziness of having a newborn in the house. Nursing is going quite well even though I am still pretty sore. The lack of sleep isn't the best but I will get over it. I have made a new commitment of going for a walk until I can do some other form of exercise. I currently get up at 5:45 and feed Haylee so I can go for a walk before my kids get up. It will be worth it in the end when I loose all this extra pregnancy weight. I hope to get a cart behind a bike and take Sadie to preschool this fall that way so I can get exercise and get Sadie to school in one whack. We'll see though if that actually happens. Many of you know what adding a third child is like and how crazy it gets. I don't think I need to elaborate there. I feel slightly outnumbered with a third kid. I need to be an octopus to keep up with them all right now!
We are slowly figuring out a schedule, somewhat, that fits us. It will still take some time but we seem to all be doing great for now. Here are some more cute pics of everyone. Enjoy!
