And Aiden makes five!

Aiden Christopher joined our family on July 2,2008 at 8:28am two weeks and two days past his 'due date'. He is an absolute dream of a baby and I am just as in love with our fifth child as with all the others. It is quite an adjustment getting used to our life with five children- four of them being 3 and under- but we are so thankful for each one of them that even the chaos is a blessing.
Thanks to co-sleeping and breastfeeding I am feeling pretty good, and Daddy is just amazed that Aiden does not cry at all at night- meaning he is getting a full nights rest. I dont mind at all though because Daddy has been a huge help with the other boys- getting up with them and doing morning diaper & potty duty and fixing breakfast.
Our family routine is going through a lot of changes and thanks to our Mothers Helper we hired we are trying to keep the other boys on track while I re-evaluate how we plan our day. Its a good thing it is summer time and I dont feel as much pressure with schooling! I am having a hard time taking them outside though- and that can hopefully change soon. I love the boys spending time outside but I worry about the pool and I feel like I cant chase them fast enough.
Im sure it will all fall into place as we move along in this adventure called life- even on the hardest days I feel so blessed to be home taking care of my children.
