Ugh, I was just postpartum out of my mind! Our last move was less than a year ago and we were really stressing about finding a place to live (which always happens when we move...never seems to be a smooth thing :P). We believe the Lord worked it all out for us. Now I don't know what your beliefs are, but I definitely think He is working things out for you guys in your move. Your hubby is meant to do his post-doctoral fellowship so everything will fall into place. :) <br /><br />My mom stayed with us 3 weeks after we had Autumn. It was so glorious! I could still tear up thinking how amazing that was.B.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01854108126791693386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-38327954755162857922011-07-24T09:42:45.236-04:002011-07-24T09:42:45.236-04:00I hear ya!!!

I put everything aside while Logan is awake, and try to rush to get everything done once he goes to bed around 9. It's rough. Unfortunately I don't have an end date to working... Hopefully I'll adapt as we go.dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022522091692097344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-10872687686831773802011-07-24T01:46:13.196-04:002011-07-24T01:46:13.196-04:00You've described my life.

And it is awesome when they can play on the floor with toys, Carina will be there soon! Now that she can sit on her own you can put her on a blanket with some toys on the floor, Boppy behind her, and she will be fine for 20-30 minutes so you can get some stuff done on the computer, read, drink your coffee, etc.SSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05667906070142027775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-91370722744151923302011-07-23T23:25:12.928-04:002011-07-23T23:25:12.928-04:00Oh hon, I was like this a few months ago, just sur...Oh hon, I was like this a few months ago, just surviving. I know you are SO tired but I am SO excited you will be a full time SAHM soon! You are going to LOVE it. And you will get alot more rest and be able to nap when Carina naps and catch up on sleep. I napped when James napped for the first 10 months because I was only getting about 5 hours of sleep a night. He has just started STTN really well so I just read when he is asleep now. Things will continue to get easier. James really started getting easier around 8 months- like ALOT easier, because he could entertain himself with toys and I could sit down and just watch him and have a cup of coffee.
