Jentri is here!

OK- so yes it's been quite some time since I blogged but life is by far crazier than I ever imagined possible at the moment. I knew two kids would be more of a handful and pose a few more challenges; however- it's so much harder than I ever expected. No, I'm not whining. I'm just not one of those that like to sugar coat things and pretend that everything is just peachy. I believe in being totally honest and open with the world about how my lifestyle is because I feel that some girls get pregnant b/c they think it being a mommy is so "Easy". HA! Little do they know! Anyways- so far, things are going better and we are getting adjusted to a routine now. Jentri now has acid reflux, was given medicine yesterday, so we are hoping our after feeding fussiness will diminish soon! Jeremy has been back at work for 2 weeks now, and that has affected Jaylee more than the rest of us. She now knows what a countdown is, and her and her daddy hold up 5 fingers on Sunday when he leaves- and then we take away a finger every day! Boy does she ever get excited on that Friday when there are no more fingers left and she knows her Daddy is coming back home! You might be asking why we aren't up there with him, you might even think I am being selfish by not going- but let me explain. Jeremy leaves for work between 7 and 7:30 every morning, and doesn't return until 8 or 8:30. Well, with our new routine of 2 kids, I try to have both kids fed, bathed, and in bed by 8:30. This way things will go smoother once I return to work! So, the girls honestly would only see their Daddy for an hour, if even that a day, and I don't think it's worth it. So, it is a little heartbreaking at times because I feel he is having to miss out on Jentri's newborn stage. In the meantime, I have started praying for job with as good of benefits and pay that is closer to home. We have been very blessed with his current job and his promotion, and we have all done well with the new lifestyle and adjusting to it. Of course it is hard, but that's just part of life! You take what life hands you- and you have to make the best of it! I don't ask for any ones pity or sympathy because we chose this. All I have ever asked for is prayers to keep Jeremy safe and the girls and I safe while we are apart during the week!

So- hopefully, now that things are starting to get better/smoother-- I am hoping to be able to blog more!
