Whistle While You Work

DO DO DO DOO DO DO DOO! Ed and I have both been working many hours in the past few weeks. We certainly are not home very often. Lately, our friend Christine and her friend, Chris, have been watching the children in our home. Ed has been working diligently to keep the house clean and I have been working diligently on keeping my milk supply at a maintenance level. Both are hard jobs in my honest opinion. Rayne has been waking every night about once an hour, probably because my milk supply is not voluminous enough to keep her content. I've got to seriously consider adding formula to her diet at this point. Work is just too stressful and I'm tired of taking supplements in vain just to try and keep it up.

We steamed practically all of our vegetables from our farm share this week: carrots, peas, snow peas, broccoli, cauliflower, and some beets. I mashed some peas and carrots for Rayne and Ed and I ate the rest mixed in with some Rice-A-Roni. Mmmmm. I also steamed up some more brown rice for the kiddos in the coming days as the Rice-A-Roni is really too salty, but we got a good deal on it! The Ed packed the plain rice in my lunch today...I'm still sratching my head over that one.

Two days ago we brought the full-size mattress and boxspring upstairs from our guest room and rearranged the kids room to accomodate. Carter slept on it the first night as I could not pry Lexi away from Nani when it was time to leave. I think Ed put Carter in his crib lsat night eventually and we are planning for Lexi to stay in the full-sized bed. My kids are getting so big! I don't think I'm going to even bother with a crib for Rayne. At some point, we need to purchase beds.
