The First Weeks

Oh, the first few weeks after having a baby...you forget so much in between kids.  :)  I actually really felt pretty good except for a few little things that really made life difficult.  My milk also came in with a vengeance and is still causing me troubles almost 4 weeks later.  Although, I do think I finally have the upper hand in that battle now, but in one day that can easily change.
 
I have been relishing in this brand new baby time though.  They grow so quickly.  Kinsley is my first baby to actually gain weight in her first two weeks!  And, not only did she gain weight, but she passed her birth weight!  At two weeks she weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz.  I love that she is doing so well, but I still tell her to stay little for just a bit longer.  :)
 
She is not my best sleeper so far, but she's a great eater and a very calm and happy baby.  I really can't complain much.  Life with 3 is a bit crazy at times, but we are managing quite well.  What I find to be the most difficult is giving each of my children their own attention.  It has made me admire mothers of 3+ kids even more.  The demand on your time is incredible, but I have found myself really enjoying this time to just be a mommy.  I haven't taken on many of my other responsibilities/worries still so its just me and my kiddos.  That won't always be the case, but I'm enjoying it while I can and trying to figure this whole mommy of 3 thing out.  :)
 
And, of course, here's a few pics.
