Busy Busy!

So you can imagine how busy I am with 3 under 4 but I LOVE IT! It's so much fun!! There's always something going on, someone laughing (and crying LoL), messes to be cleaned, meals to be cooked, laundry to be done, someone to kiss, someone to snuggle... have I mentioned I LOVE IT?! So, Seth is 2 weeks 4 days now and he had a check up 4 days ago along with Rylie's late 18 months check up. Rylie was 26lbs and 32in so 50% for both. She had a Hep. A vaccine and goes back in 6 months but was in good health and developing fine. Seth, at birth, was 7lbs 1 oz. When we left the hospital he was 6lbs 9oz (babies usually lose weight right after birth) and at 2 weeks they want to at least seem them back at their birth weight. While Mr. Handsome was 7lbs 9oz, GO BOOBY JUICE LoL! He's was 20in at birth and was 20 and 3/4 in so he's growing well. He had another newborn screening (so tired of all the blood testing.. his poor little feet!) and I'm sure it'll come back fine. He goes back in 2 weeks for his 1 month check up and his second Hep. B shot :( He's a great sleeper thanks to breastfeeding and co-sleeping. He wakes up 3 times a night to eat and usually goes right back to sleep. If not, he's only up for 60-90 mins and he's back out. Rylie is still the best night time sleeper I've had but he's no Taylor so I'm thankful LoL! His favorite place is in my arms, he cries if Andy tries to hold him... YAY, I finally get a kid who loves ME... those darn daddy's girls ;) The main question I'm getting from EVERYONE right now; "are you done or will you have another one?". I don't have an answer for you. Andy and I both feel very happy and content and if we never had another baby we'd be just fine with that. We've talked about it all and we're leaving the option open for possibly 1 more but it all depends on finances and whether we actually ever feel the want for another child. We both would love a large family and say "the more the merrier" but ya need money and this mommy needs space for toys, they're taking over my house LoL!! We're looking into buying a home in the new year so who knows, the room might be there but the energy, the desire, and the money may not be so it's all in God's hands. What we do know is if it happens, it won't be planned in the next year, and it'll be a shock but we'd obviously welcome the blessing. The only other thing we know is that *IF* we have another, we're seriously considering a home birth with a midwife. Right now, my new "baby" is working on weight loss. I hit 140 but I suppose that's as far as just breastfeeding will take me so I've started my workouts and I'm hoping to be in the 130's soon. Right now I do 30 mins of cardio and then jog for 15 mins 4 days a week. After the first month my trainer has me cross training with weights as well and I'll be working out 5 days a week. I was told I'll see optimum results by April so we'll see! I'm ready to look like I'm 23 again LoL. So there ya have it! A small update since that's all I have time for these days :)
