Back To Square One...

After 11 years, I'm a new mother again!! At 39 years old, starting over is quite the challenge...but I'm enjoying every (tiring) moment of it. Our 4th child, Brady Alexander, was born 12/31/08. He was 3 weeks early and weighed only 5 lbs/2 oz, but has continued to thrive since. He's now over 7 lbs. and is changing daily.

Having a newborn in the house again has been an adjustment. I had forgotten how much work it can be! Sometimes it's noon before I even have a chance to get dressed! I don't know how mothers of multiples do it!!! Fortunately, my 11-yr. old son Dylan has been a HUGE help. Formerly the "baby" of the family, he has stepped into the role of big brother with enthusiasm & excitement. He loves holding Brady and has been a great "extra set of hands" when I'm trying to cook dinner, fold laundry, etc. Brady is very comfortable in his arms, and the two of them are becoming fast friends.
