Observations from my first month of having six kids... I had gotten used to having five kids and gotten into a nice routine and found my 'mum groove' but then we added a newborn baby and things have gone a little crazy around here! I've been a mum long enough now to know that things will 'settle down' somewhat eventually but I've found myself right back in the trenches of motherhood, it's so easy to forget what the newborn time is like. This is the busiest we've ever been with the usual speed of keeping up with our older children's school, appointments, meals, moods and laundry as well as caring for our precious new baby Cedar. Somehow Luke is also studying his Bachelor in IT while, making breakfasts, doing the school run and taking our people to all the stuff. The days are going by so fast, I sit down at night and it feels like I just got out of bed...( I probably look like I just got out of bed too I didn't even get dressed until 2pm today and can't remember when I last showered). I'm having major postpartum brain too and even forgot my pin number on my card this week when it's been the same for 10 years. But amongst all of this my heart is exploding with love and thankfulness for all my people, I used to be lazy and selfish so God gave me six little people to be responsible for, I think He solved those problems! 😶🤔😄
