I Am Surviving, Barely

I am exhausted. Ryker is a good baby and he is sleeping about 18 hours a day and eating really well. I am sleeping about 5 hours a day and that is really interrupted sleep. I am not getting any naps in because I have three other children who feel that they need attention and parenting. I don't like naps any way. I love how in just a few short weeks my brain cannot remember not having a new baby. It just seems like he has always been here. This is the last week of school and I am excited to be able to sleep in and not have any where to go. On the other hand I hope that the children do not get too bored and start fighting all the time. I think they will get a little stir crazy this year.

Mac is having a rough time getting used to a new brother. The other kids were really happy about having a new brother but Mac really liked being the baby of the family and is not happy being displaced. Ryan is such an amazing father and husband and keeps me sane and helps the kids through this new transition in our lives. He is great.

Yesterday Ryker and I had our two week check up. I forgot the PKU card so we have to go back on Friday which is good because Ryker weighed in at 9 lbs and 5 oz. which was his birth weight and that makes the doctor nervous and he wants to check Ryker's weight again and make sure he is growing well. He did grow 1 1/2 inches. I am trying to savor all of these little moments since we are done having kids but it is so hard for me to not think about life in a few months and years and to want every one to get a little bit older. I need to remember the moments and really live in them.
