Some days I feel like I am still winging it. I feel you though. When we came home with Mia and Kyan, Haley had only been home for 7 months. Man, I had no clue what I was doing and was so tired and overwhelmed (3 kids, 3 and under). I remember leaving the house the first time with all 3, it took us 2 1/2 hours to get ready to go! You will find your rhythm, we did, it just takes time. No one expects you to be super-mom, then we would have to hate you:)Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768214843217350062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189211241233590641.post-26750473255438135872009-08-20T15:00:52.335-07:002009-08-20T15:00:52.335-07:00Just take it easy and enjoy your family!

Jacob and Sara look positively elated as big brother and sister.

Sorry about the email and the hotel not taking a message- When you get time email me and let's talk. Paige isnt napping well at all, but I am starting to feel a little better with sleep and jet lag. We have been running around already and it is very tiring. I didnt take her to the dr. yet- next week and I am a little nervous based on your experience. Was there anything in her referral info that would indicate any of that? Paige does not like to eat at all and that has me a bit worried. Ok so give your little one a big hug.<br />LOL<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17024039295827688602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189211241233590641.post-39804790544838662652009-08-20T06:32:06.259-07:002009-08-20T06:32:06.259-07:00It sounds like life is starting to come together f...It sounds like life is starting to come together for the new normal.

So happy to hear Sara and Jake are doing so wonderful with Tessa! Of course it is an adjustment for you all, but I am sure you are taking on the role of "Mom of three" just wonderfully! - Your probably just too tired to notice!<br />Keep us posted (when you get a chance!)QingLu Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630636289761855864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189211241233590641.post-49169690419909690112009-08-19T13:27:57.233-07:002009-08-19T13:27:57.233-07:00Wanted to make a mini introduction as we are a fam...Wanted to make a mini introduction as we are a family starting the journey of adopting a baby from TWCA w/ Gladney. I'm also Michelle, have just started a blog, http://ourtaiwanbundleofjoy.blogspot.com/<br />but have followed your journey for a couple of months. I am a mother of 3 (ages (B)16, (B)14, (G)10 and just wanted to share with you, although not through adoption, how our 3rd child's arrival really made a major shift in our dynamics as a family. A friend whom already had 3 told me shortly after I became a mother of 3 that it takes you from a couple with each having arms for a child to a couple without enough hands but a growing heart. I just wanted to say the challenges are altogether worth it. My joy at being the mother to our 3 has brought me to the point that as my first is almost ready to depart for college I want to still have years ahead of parenting so we are starting again and thus adopting a baby. Your children are all beautiful and congrats on your new baby girl!I'm hoping all test turn out well, I too had a childhood heart murmur, but at mid-forty have not had docs detect it in yrs. Only time it has been an issue is when dental work - just a few extra steps for security - antibiotics. Keep well!michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381060957711772947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189211241233590641.post-72137051008799844572009-08-19T12:05:16.863-07:002009-08-19T12:05:16.863-07:00Keep us up to date on the test results.
