Our new normal.

We've finally completely settled in to our new normal. Of course, considering I go back to work in a week and a half. Things have calmed down and I finally put away all the postpartum goodies from the hospital that were all over our bathroom counter and organized our bedroom. The one room in the house that I could never get to straightening up. I would just shut thre door. Now I have a few stations set up for our nightly routine.

Anna Claire spits up so often! We have burp cloths stationed all over the house! A swaddle blanket...can also double for spit up protection/cleanup, and the miracle blanket. My very favorite swaddle.

A paci and reading material for my early morning feeding time. 

A diaper changing station. 

I've also really been enjoying my Bible study. I read the book Unglued a few years ago, but it's been nice to dig into it deeper and with a different perspective.

I'm caught up on laundry, have decided on Valentine's for the girls, and have just been enjoying holding Anna Claire most of the day. Seeing Matt more. Lunch dates have been my favorite. And also carving out special one on one time for my big girl! I'm dreading going back to work even though I like to work because I know it's going to be soooo much harder to balance it all. It's such a constant struggle. So for now I'll just cherish every second left.
