week of feb 11

Well, my mom just left..she has been such a great support for me...having baby blues again is so frustrating....as my doctor says, I just want my "vacation"....fight or flight as Marc calls it......I just want to get away...I get anxiety attacks and my mind goes a little nutty but a little medicine goes a long way...hopefully I will be able to focus better soon. Bree is a pretty good baby...its just the stress of having three right now...once I get back into a routine again though, all will be much better...at least it was when I had this with Arie....I talked to Arie's daycare lady about the transition when the baby comes.....since I get 8 weeks off instead of just 6, I will use those two weeks as a transition.....Bree will start then and slowly I will take Arie away and have her go to my mom's so she gets used to it. Hopefully she won't freak too much! She LOVES it at daycare but I can't afford two kids. I wish I didn't have to take either of them to daycare but i would have to make a little more than just one of my monthly paychecks in order to live and there isn't a way right now for us to do that so...have to go back to work..
anyway, our latest challenge is the kids are waking up in the middle of the night. Arie is so stubborn (no idea where she gets it from..heehee) and doesn't listen..i think she knows that if we are doing something with the baby we don't have an extra hand so she'll refuse to do something knowing we have to figure out how to do it ourselves....hopefully once I go back to work and get the normal routine down for her too, she will mellow out more....
I plan on venturing out to visit people at work this week so that should be fun....and we have the brace fiting for her this week also so I will have a chance to take her out again.....three weeks old this thursday!!

Bree is going to be fitted for her brace?! Is everything ok? I hope all is well with you. I love reading about the kids. Send my love to them. Miss you! Love, Di
