Things have been really good these past few week though so I really can't complain! My mother in law needs a huge shout out, as she has been awesome since we've been home! She stayed with us for the first week home which was fantastic! Night feeds were so much easier with her there.
Now its school holidays and think I'm going insane! The girls have not stopped yelling and throwing all their toys on the floor! Everytime I come up stairs there us more mess!!! No matter how many times we all clean up, it's back a few minutes later! But if that's the worst of it then I really should be counting my lucky stars!! I can see that N3 is starting to become unsettled though, which worries me as the other two were bad sleepers and I just don't want another! I'm doing everything I can to make her sleep on her own, like not picking her up when she cries, vacuuming while she's asleep having the tv on near her, I just can't handle another bad sleeper! I'll be locked in a padded cell! I still struggle with N2 at nighttime so another would tip me over the edge!
But since being home we have been so relaxed and happy! N1 has returned to school and the settling process for her was almost instant! She is such a well behaved girl, she obviously has her moments ... But who doesn't!!
And N2 has truly surprised me!! She is brilliant! So attentive and loving toward her new little sister!! Sharing her toys, wanting her to play with her, sit with her, (trying to) share drinks and food!! I honestly thought that my little cyclone would have turned into this little wild child, but it seems to have settled her in some way! Sadly, I still have heard nothing from my family! My two oldest girls received cards on their birthdays, but I had nothing on mine, go figure! I'm so tired of playing childish games with my parents!! These are the people that are meant to help you, be there for you whenever you need them! I don't expect them to be babysitting every weekend, I just want to be able to have someone on my side when I'm down, have a mum to go shopping with or the movies! Someone to guide me and pull me up when I'm being a tool! But because of the childish nature of both my parents, I don't have that relationship. I have nothing. So, basically at the moment we are surviving! I thought there may have been a massive break down by now, but no ... Not yet! I managing being a mum to three beautiful girls at the age of 29, who would have thought it!!!!
