Be Still My Heart...

I have missed you wonderful blog you!! I have had a wonderful "break" from blogging and I'm now happy to say I am back in full force. As you know my life has most definitely changed the past couple of months with the arrival of my son, Elijah Matthew Franklin, who was born April 15th. Yes that's right...a tax day baby. Note: my daughter Emery was born on election day, November 2012 and my son was born on tax day...I'm not sure what that means but it's bound to mean something HA!

Anyways, both babies are doing tremendous! Even though we are still trying to adjust with our new addition, it has been nothing short of a blessing. Elijah has been the most easy-going baby and is so laid back. I have always heard that boys are easier than girls which I was very unsure of, but it seems to be the case with my children. In the beginning he had a small issue with gas so before it got worse I went ahead and took him to the chiropractor which, again, has worked wonders. I will talk about that in a later post. But as far as his nightly routine, he is a great sleeper and only wakes up once a night to eat. 

Emery is doing so well being a big sis! She wants to be by his side at all times and wants to "help" as much as possible...maybe sometimes a little too much but I have no complaints! I was so worried about her being jealous of Eli but so far that has not been the case, thank God! I'm sure that may change as they get older but for right now I'll take what I can get HA! 

The only thing that I have really had to get use to is time management. Obviously I have to prepare more now if we have to be somewhere at a certain time but I feel that we've transitioned very well from 3 to 4! A lot of that has to do with my husband, Matt. I can not begin to explain how great he has been with helping out. He's a keeper! <3
