Transitioning to four kids

We are officially a family of eight – Four kids and two big old dogs—

My oh My—the transition did not go as we would have hoped. The day we got home from the hospital Garrett Carson and Adison were all sick and crabby—this made things a little challenging. Mike really had to step up his game. Not only was Nolan waking at night to feed but Adison was too- at least three times a night due to her fever and coughing. Mike was getting up with her and I was getting up with Nolan. Christmas time with a new born baby, two parents and a toddler without sleep is pretty much a recipe for disaster. Not to mention I am a very social person who just spent two days alone in a hospital and came home to be isolated for another week. It was a little insane. Thank goodness we got out a couple of times for Dr. Apts, Pharmacy visits and a hockey game.
