Getting back to normal

Kadence will be 6 weeks old tomorrow, and finally I am starting to feel closer to normal. I even vacuumed today. I am amazed at how patient and understanding Whit has been regarding my cleaning abilities lately. I feel bad for making him live like a slob while I adjusted to having a newborn again and TWO children. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
The sleep deprivation has been catching up to me lately though, Kady is hitting her 6 week growth spurt and nursing pretty much around the clock. I can't wait 'til it is over and we can get back to the 5 hour (and once even 6 hours!) stretches she was giving me before.
Abby has adjusted really well considering that she has a little invader now, and I have been so grouchy with her. I don't mean to be, just exhaustion shortening the space between my brain and my mouth. I am sure it will pass, and I have been trying to give her lots of extra love and attention lately to make up for it a little. She is so awesome and so smart, I can't wait to see her grow up but I am almost wishing it would slow down at the same time. She is almost four!!! I can't believe it has gone so fast.
I grudgingly admit that exercise is a big part of 'getting back to normal' and I am less than thrilled. Although I would LOVE to be back in shape, and truly enjoy exercise and running, I know how hard it is to get into that routine and know I am in for a rough couple weeks once I get started. THANK GOODNESS I have a head start. I lost every single pound I gained while I was pregnant within a week, and currently am about 5 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight. YAY! I have to be careful though because nursing = bigger appetite, and I am starting to gain some of it back. Oops. At least nursing in itself burns quite a few calories by itself.
Now, for a cute picture of my new little bundle of joy! I can't resist ha ha.

She isn't so little tiny anymore, she has really been getting chubby, it is so cute.
