"Motherhood is what God gave me time for." Elder Anderson
I know the above quote to be true for me. Motherhood will be my most noble calling in life and feel extremely blessed to feel this way.
In our home there is a half a room that you can only get to from my bedroom. It is small but is packed full of the sweetest spirit. For this was the space that we hauled in three cribs and the shortly after hauled in three baby boys. Miracles happened in that room. I was just recounting today to a friend about the fact that after two months of Kim and Jaime coming over to take over the 2am feedings during the work week that I finally told them to not come just to see if the babes would sleep longer through the night. I still scratch my head wondering how shortly after that all three of them starting sleeping through the night at the same time without even trying to coax them...it is like they just knew and did it on cue. I didn't even have to break out Baby Wise...which I was prepared to do after using it on the girls. It took one of the girls the full three nights to "learn" their new sleeping patterns. Those were some very long nights. Anyway this last weekend we finally decided to clean up the little room and make it a functioning space. It will be used as the work-out room..ok so I realize it will only be functioning room if we even get our hineys in there. Nonetheless I will always cherish this space and will always have some of the best memories when I am in there. I don't know why I just thought about this but I used to feed the boys in the middle of the night with bottles so that I could get get back to bed quickly. I always sat on the ground next to them right in from of the mirrored closet doors with our body pillows. Another triplet Momma taught me how to use body pillows to feed the babies and it worked like a charm. Now I am thinking about the below picture...I love how I look so dazed. Hiding behind the blanket was my lovely catheter.that thing was AWESOME. I took it with me wherever I went.
