What an amazing man and amazing family I have

Poor Anthony...he may have just had TWO girls bawling their eyes out as Me-mom and Nan left. I really hope it didn't make him feel bad. It was just so nice to have a house full of family. Not only have they been SO much help, having them here, spending time with us is something that I'll treasure forever. It meant so much to us...I wish they could be here all the time. I'm not going to say it's lonely here because we are now a household of five, but it felt good to be seven or more over these past weeks that we have had my Grandparents and Mom coming. Emotional much? I'll blame hormones. I cried so much when Me-mom and my Mom came to help with Madeline and then had to leave that they stayed two extra days! So, I tried to hold my composure as much as possible this time. They have given their all these past couple weeks and I am so grateful...cleaning, doing laundry, helping me organize my closet...I have two pretty incredible women to admire.
My amazing husband arranged to drop me off with my grandparents next week so I have enough help. I just cried typing that. He is so self-less and always plans so that I am taken care of...even though I know he will miss us terribly. What an amazing man and amazing family I have. I am so lucky.

Oh my gosh. All these emotions... How about a funny story? So, we decided that we should use our sound machine last night and maybe Joseph would sleep a little better. He tends to love sleeping on everyone's chest, so we decided to go with the heartbeat. Well, it didn't really help, but it made Anthony keep waking up, thinking someone was chasing him because it sounds like footsteps. Talk about cracking up in the middle of the night as he's telling me this. So, we switched it to white noise and I don't know if that's what helped, but we sure did get a few hours in!

Yes, the boy has a pink soothie. I thought he would like a Nuk, but he wouldn't keep it in. So, I had to go through every pacifier I had saved in the cabinet from Madeline.haha.
