It's been almost four weeks now since Levi was born (how can it be going so quickly?) and I haven't really blogged a bit. We're adjusting to life as a family of four. To be completely honest, it's been rough. All four of us (except for Ryan) have been sick, Levi's been a rather fussy baby, and Ryan didn't get any time off work at all. (Note to self: plan any future pregnancies to deliver during a school holiday). Poor Noelle is miserably sick this week, with a fever and coughing so badly that she ends up vomiting. Oh, and to top it all of, a skunk got under our house last week and sprayed, so our house reeks and by the way eyebrows raise when we enter a room, I'm pretty sure we still do too.
It's all good, though. In spite of the challenges we've had, my kids are beautiful and precious and wonderfully snuggly and these busy days at home will be over far too soon and then I'll wish them back. Maybe without quite so much spit-up and snot and definitely without the skunkiness, but nonetheless. We're blessed.
