tonight ... i'm hoping that i receive the ...

successfully making it through my first bout of stomach bug (on a sunday of course - the day after daddy leaves on a 4 day trip) with three children all while waiting for the doctor's office to open on monday morning so that we can get some medication for said screaming reflux-y three week old infant on (potentially) the previously mentioned 3 non-consecutive hours of sleep (unless i get lucky)

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog. And congrats on your beautiful new son. Oh, in a perfect world I would love to have two girls and then a boy too. Unfortunately, I don't get to decide that :)

My mother can relate as daddy was gone all the time when we were young. There were also three of us under the age of 5. Hang in there. It'll get better.
