Be warned this could be a long one.
Visit With Mom
Everything went really well when my mom was here. We didn't do anything too exciting but it was nice to have her around. We got to do some shopping, errands, and spent lots of time looking/playing with the kids. It will be nice to relax for a bit before Mr. Man's mom gets here.
Mother's Day
Nothing really happened. We all went to church and that's about it. Mr. Man wasn't feeling well and slept until he had to work. My mom let me take a nice nap and then we just took care of the kids before bed. It was a nice relaxing day.
Bad Hair Cut
So I got my hair cut the other day and things didn't go so well. I love the length, but she butchered my bangs. Before I had them layered and going off to the side. I realized how she was cutting them too late this time. I put them off to the side in the picture but they look like a shorter version of Ari's...not good on me. I'm glad that hair grows and after this the bangs are going bye bye. Until then I will be trying to be finding solutions to hide my super-short bangs.
Little Eli
Our little man has been having some troubles lately. I think he might have mild colic. Every night he just starts screaming, sleeps a bit, screams, and this repeats for at least an hour or more. I've tried Mylacon and that's not doing anything. He has a hard time burping and I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. I welcome any suggestions.
Slowly I'm getting better at putting prefolds on this little guy. I might be changing him all day long, but it's better than feeling like I'm spending 50 cents with each regular diaper. I know this will all get easier once he grows a bit more. Now I just need to make some more cloth wipes and we'll be all set for a while.
Sleep still isn't happening here. Right now things go 10:30ish bedtime, 2am eat, 5 am eat and stays in bed with us, up for the day around 8. I would be happy if he would just sleep until 3 and I got to bed when he did. Oh well, I'll be a walking zombie for a few more weeks/months/years.
My Foot
This Friday I get to have foot surgery again:( The darn things grew back. My doctor has never seen this happen before. I'm so glad I can be a medical mystery. Thankfully this time they can give me some sedation which will be nice, and the surgery is later in the morning. I just hope it works this time. Then it's onto the adventure of taking care of 2 kids with a big hole in my toe. I'm glad more help will be here on the 22nd.
Life Overall
I'm doing ok. Still waiting to hear the final status of our house purchase. Things are looking good, but still not final. As soon as they are pictures will be posted.
I'm starting to have some post-baby funk. So far it doesn't seem as bad as with Ari which is nice. I just hope things don't get worse and that it passes soon. If not something will need to be done. I'm not opposed to taking meds, but I want to keep breastfeeding (well sometimes I do). Time will tell what happens. If I could get on a schedule and pump a bottle to be used at night getting more sleep might help, or just trying formula for night feeding might help. What do you think Mr. Man?
I'm just waiting for 6 weeks to be up so I can get the ok to start exercising. I'm feeling quite icky in that area. I need some new clothes but don't want to buy much. My mom got me the dress I'm wearing above for mothers day which is wonderful. I only found it thanks to a friend who has the same one...it looks much better on you dear! I want summer things, but I don't want to buy nice things that won't fit soon. Though I love maternity clothes I don't want to wear them forever. Oh the joys of having babies. It's ok though. They're both worth the extra pounds and stretch marks.

Love the pictures!!!
Sorry about the post partum funk. You can breastfeed and take Zoloft up to 250mg/day, which is A HUGE DOSE. Ask your doctor.
Have you tried cutting out dairy for the Eli's gas? Just a thought.
Go house! Go house! Go house! I hope it comes through soon.
You look beautiful in that dress. Moving party soon. You know we want to help.
