I need eight arms, or ten, or twelve. I also need about 300 hours of sleep, and that's even after my awesome husband has been sleeping in the living room to tend to the baby at night. I'm a mess. :)
Yesterday...
At about 1:30pm I sat down on the couch next to Abigail to pump. (Sorry guys, but it's a part of the deal.) I put the movie "Cars" on for Parker to entertain him. As I was pumping I noticed Parker leaning on the glass door on our entertainment center. I threatened him with time out then reached over to try to console Abigail's crying. Just at that moment, I heard a crash and looked up to see P laying in a pile of broken glass. The door to the entertainment center had shattered from his weight.
I dropped everything, and ran over to pick him up out of the glass. (Oh yes, he also didn't have a shirt on because he decided to lick the peanut butter and jelly out of his sandwich for lunch. ) He had blood all over him. I reached over and found two breastfeeding pads (Sorry again, guys.) to wipe off the blood. After a quick bath he ended up with only a few scrapes. I cried.
Then, 3 hours later I actually got to sit down to pump again after cleaning up the glass.
I love my family. I love my kids. I really love my husband. But, I need eight arms. (Or thumbs on my feet would work too.)
Our now ghetto entertainment center.
"Rocket" is the only thing that keeps P occupied during feeding time.

oh, i am so sorry sandi!
it will get better, and things will settle down...you might even think about a third! :) did i really just write that down??? praying for you!
Thanks for ensuring that Bella will be an only child. Amazing. I hope y'all are OK!
Oh wow, that sounds really overwhelming. I'm glad Parker is okay!
We had an entertainment unit that was a cardboard box (with a sheet over it) for more years than Parker has been alive, so you already have us beat there. Celebrate the "memorable moments" like this, they are too easy to forget
Oh my goodness! You poor girl! Thats so horrible! You gotta admit though, things can only get better right? You're still an awesome Mommy!
Hey there! I agree with two you need at least eight arms. I'm glad Parker was okay. You are a great mommy don't ever forget that. Things do start to get easier with two. We love you all. Enjoy the "memorable moments" they fly by fast and one day Parker's adventure will be one to laugh about.
Love, Alicia
