Family Update

Loads of stuff going on with us and I am so sleep deprived I can't remember to do anything 5 seconds after I decide to do it.  Lucius still needs to be fed every 3 hours (which means I am averaging 2 hours sleep in between each feed) until he is 8 lbs!  Luckily, I weighed him yesterday and he is 7 lbs 12.3 oz's!

Here he is a few days after being born:

Here he is at Build A Bear last week:
Can you believe one of the bear hats fit him? LOL  Looks a bit like Frank Sinatra to me!

Auntie Sarah brought him a Halloween outfit - looooove the feet!
Poor little bug now has a cold - and so do all the girls - oh the joys of having a kid in Kindergarten!

Speaking of which, Serenity is still having a tough time adjusting.  Some tears and wanting to stay with us, especially when she finds out we did "stuff" without her.  Her shyness is making it hard to make friends too.  However, we do have her in Sparks and she is starting to open up there.  Hopefully it helps with her self confidence.
Rayna is missing Serenity terribly and never fails to tell anyone who will listen that Serenity is in Kindergarten and she will be going next year.  She has developed a whine (that is KILLING me) and crying (soooo not like her).  This is her on a good day:
Skyler has totally switched allegiances to Auntie Sarah.  Whenever she is hurt or wants a cuddle, that's who she goes to.  The poor bug is also getting ALL 4 of her eye teeth at once!  Here she is sporting her tutu:
On a positive note, I am no longer diabetic (woo hoo, no more poking myself for blood) and no longer have high blood pressure (no more meds for me)!  If only I could get more sleep, I'd be golden!

Feeling creative withdrawls and bloggy friend withdrawls too.  I'm hoping to get some time to blog regularly again soon (probably at night).  Miss you guys,
