Help please!!!!!
Now that I’ve scared you a bit with the title, I want to let you know that we’re fine. It was brought to my attention (like I didn’t know) that I haven’t written in a while. Two reasons,
1. Normally I write my posts in the evening after Meredith and Angela (Angela goes to bed early so that she can get back up a 1 am for the overnight feedings) go to bed. I normally help with the evening shifts until I go to bed around midnight. Prior to the kids, I would work in my office at home for a few hours at the end of the day. Now I can’t because I start to help with dinner and the kids as soon as I get home. I still have work to do so I end up doing that in between feedings until midnight or so. Because of that, I really don’t have the time to write. With that said, I could probably make time to write, but…
2. I haven’t had much to write about. Writers block, if you will. It’s the same stuff every day. The kids get a diaper change, drink a bottle and go back to sleep (or at least we hope they do) every three hours. By the time the last one is done, we start all over in just a little over an hour. Meredith is doing well. Angela and I are doing well. The volunteers are great!!! It’s not like new major milestones are being made every day. Little things are happening I guess that I may take for granted. The kids are awake more during the day. They all hold their head up great. They’re all gaining weight. We get to go in for weigh ins every other week now so I don’t have any updated weights. My bet is that Alex is close to 10 and a half pounds.
So with that all said; I have 2 requests…
1. If you’re reading this and you’re a night owl, Angela and I would like to cordially invite you to spend your night time hours at our house with our kids. We’re still doing new orientations to add a few more people to the list. Check out the schedule and orientation info, by clicking here. If you can’t make it to an orientation, but want to help, please send me an email by clicking here. We’ll make special arrangements. We know that shift sucks, but frankly, people during those overnights are worth their weight in gold.
2. I am putting out an open request for topics. I don’t mind writing and will make the time, but I’m running out of ideas now that things are pretty solidified and scheduled at home. I have a few things in the hopper, but nothing that has me all hot and bothered enough to make time for. If you have an idea or would like to know more about something in our daily lives now that we have six kids, just post a comment or send me an email by clicking here.
That’s it for this glorious Saturday morning. The Hawkeyes are on ABC tonight. 7 pm. We own Penn State and I’m giddy about tonight’s game. The kids will all be dressed in black and gold and I’ll do my best to get some pics up soon afterward. Speaking of Black and Gold, I seem to be missing a photo of my favorite ISU fan from Satuci in her new Black and Gold. I expect I’ll see a pic by email by the end of the week. You know who you are!!!
Until next time…and Go Hawkeyes!!!
The ISU fan is on vacation so not sure that a picture will get posted this week but I am sure she will see your message!
