I am often asked how I do it with four kids 3 and under. My secret is having the perfect fourth baby!
We have spent the past month as a family getting to know our newest member. She is so quiet and loves to sleep so it's hard to figure out her personality. Although, her awake time is getting longer now. We brought the activity mat for her and she spends short periods of time on there during the day. Happiest on her tummy but can roll onto her back already so we have to keep rolling her back.
Her nickname we have given her is Snacker. She snacks all day long. Eating for about 5 minutes here and there. I don't mind it though. For me, it beats sitting down for 45 minutes at a time.
Her best friend is her soother. Gumdrop soothers in particular. She is quite the sucker. Actually, she was born with an open blister on her hand from sucking in the womb. Her poor little hand! That just goes to show you how desperate she is. (And why we introduced the soother!) She was also born with a strawberry-colored birthmark on the top of her head. Very cute and unique too!
As far as night sleep goes, I'm totally spoiled! She wakes once a night for about 10 minutes for a snack and snuggles and then she goes straight back to sleep. There has only been two nights since she was born that she was awake more than once during the night. One of them being last night. It's pretty amazing though.
We are totally in love!
