i should be sleeping...
yes, i should be asleep now. it's only 9:10pm, but i'm coming down with something. i have a yucky cough and have the aches. not cool. probably the swine flu, but who knows. and i'm going to bed any minute now, but i just wanted to take a quick moment to mark today as nora's one month birthday. it is also evan's half birthday, making him officially two and a half now.
how are we doing? pretty good. aside from the potential swine flu, i'm feeling really great. nora is really such an easy baby so far. seriously, she is amazing. of course, she has her moments and getting up in the middle of the night still isn't fun no matter how you look at it, but it really isn't too bad.
but...we've had almost constant help since she was born. first, my mom for two weeks. then two days after she left, my sister hilary came for three days. then three days after hilary left, my aunt jeanie came. and she's still here now and will leave on monday morning. then my dad is coming three days after that. after his visit, we'll have the longest break yet until steve's parents come in november. but it will probably be nice to have a reality check for a bit and try to manage on our own.
yes, we've been taking lots of photos...don't worry...we're not neglecting our photographic duty to our third child. but the business of sorting and posting them is still a bit overwhelming at this point. i hope to make a photo update soon.
there is so much more i could write about, but this was supposed to be short and just a quick note to let you know that we're still here. sorry for all the unreturned phone calls and emails. we really do appreciate them and i especially appreciate those of you who keep calling repeatedly with no judgment. please don't give up on me...you know who you are...i'll pick up the phone and/or be home one of these days!
love to you all and good night!

I'm so sorry that you are feeling crappy. I'm thinking about you guys a lot!
Glad to hear you are hanging in there. Hope the flu (or whatever you have) is passing quickly. It can NOT be easy to manage three kids and have the flu!
Let us know when you are feeling better! We're thinking about you!
I feel your pain, Lara. I came down with something last week and am just now feeling human again. Thinking about you and kiddos alot and I can't wait for more pictures!
Being sick with 54 billion responsibilities is the pits. I hope you feel better soon.
Love you!
