Adjustment

How's the adjustment going? Um, it's rough. I won't go into details. Anyone that has gone through the newborn phase will know that it's tough, and it gets tougher when you have other kid(s) to watch too. That whole sleep when the baby sleeps goes right out the window most of the time. Then, there's the whole anxiety that Adie is getting neglected and feeling bad about that. Having my mom here for a week was wonderful. She's been gone 4 days and I think everyday has been a little harder than the last. Just a week and a half until my mother-in-law comes for a few days. I can't wait. I don't think I ever appreciated more than now how nice it is to live close to family. Not to say, our neighbors and ward haven't been great, because they have. I know we have plenty of support, but what I really need is someone who can be there at 6 am when Adie wakes up and I have just gone to sleep, finally, after being up with Chase for most of the night, or someone that can take Adie to the park or pool at the drop of a hat because she's getting restless. I know I can call people for help, but it's hard to know when Chase will actually sleep, which is when I need Adie gone, so I can get a nap. 2 or 3 hours a night of sleep really starts to take its toll. Anyway, don't mean to complain. We have a lot of blessings. We have a healthy boy and girl. We have so many luxuries in our life. Chase eats well and sometimes sleeps for 3 hours at a time. I know we'll survive. I just needed to write something down, because I can only cry on Brett's shoulder so many times.
