over the edge...

Before I had Harper I cant tell you how many people told me that 3 kids put them over the edge! Your out numbered and it is just sooo hard they would say, my thoughts..." uhoh". Throughout my pregnancy I would try and prepare myself but the truth of the matter is there is no preparing yourself until you are just thrown into it. I remember finding out I was pregnant with Paisley when Ryder was 6 months old and thinking holy crap! I remember thinking how can I love someone else as much as I love him? But it wasn't until she came that I was able to fully adjust and settle into our little routine. Yes, I did love her, more than anything!!! haha
I had these same thoughts with Harper but this time I felt as though I already had my hands full and I did wonder oh boy how am I going to do this? Also hearing how hard 3 kids are over and over again didn't help! Now here I am with my 3 babies and I can honestly say it has been amazing! Sure there are times where there is complete chaos, ones whining, one wants something, and one is crying hysterical bc they're hungry and I am frantically trying to make it all better. I eventually do and everything gets fixed;-). It has been a pretty easy transition for me. Very enjoyable! I have LOOVED having this little girl around and her snuggles are amazingly sweet! Its funny how Harper coming into our family has made me feel so complete even though at one time I never knew she was missing. I am truly soaking up her newborn goodness as this is my last! For sure! Ryan has been officially neutered LOL! Everyday I look at my life and realize how blessed I truly am.. I do. At some point during my day I think this thought. As cheesy as this sounds Im serious and this is why..............

My girly!

As usual Im way behind on my blog posts;-) Anyway here is our precious little Harper Grace! Love this little lassy. She is 6 weeks old and sweet as pie. We've had some minor issues but we are working our way through them. One being a severe case of "baby acne" or so they thought. It ended up getting far worse and was horrible to look at and Im sure it didnt feel great either, poor baby. We ended up going to the dr ( for the zillionth time) and they took one look and said Yikes! I thought maybe she had a milk allergy so they put her on Alimentum formula plus I am nursing so I had to cut dairy out they also prescribed an ointment because they worried about infection and it cleared it up significantly in about 5 days. It was pretty bad! I probably wiped it down so much that it made it worse:-( Then we've also battled some pretty bad acid reflux which was also reason for the new formula. She is a spitter... brutal! It hurts her I feel so bad. We tried that for awhile and she didn't seem to be improving too much so they prescribed zantac:-( freaked me out even though from all my research its been proven safe. I did it for 1 day and she was so lethargic seriously out of it that I stopped. To top it off she went from pooping 5 x a day to every 3 days and is extremely gassy:-( Our next venture has been the good ole chiropractor. I've heard some great things about reflux and pooping issues etc... We went last week and that night she went to the bathroom we did a follow up 2 days later and she went again. TMI? probably ha! Like you want to know my babes pooping sched ha! Im documenting! I have been hopeful so far. So we will wait and see. She has been doing pretty good lately. She has a fussy time in the evenings and likes a little more snuggle which is fine by me. I love this little girl and she has been so fun to have around. We have all adjusted very well.

I caught the end of her smile and thought it was super cute of course~

My little blondie blue eyed girl... so fun to have one of each!

I love these two girlys! Paisley absolutely adores her sister it is sweet and sometime frustrating but she is so helpful and loving towards her. P has definitely been more trying with me fo sho though! She's good she definitely knows how to push my buttons! I try hard to keep my patience with her bless her lil heart! She truly is like a teeny bopper, im pretty sure she thinks like one ha!

We went pig/archery deer hunting last weekend it was cold and a cluster. Ryder loved going off with Daddy and Uncle matt while us girls stayed back and hung out. We planned on hiking but it wasn't the best terrain for a new born and 3 year old...

Ryder had to go haha! A boys gotta do what a boys gotta do lol! True hillbilly at heart gotta love it!

Looking for collared peckery of course aka Javelina lol! He adores his uncle matt he told me he's one of his best friends.. awww!

Sweet little things!
