Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th again. But so far nothing major going on here! Life with 6 babies is finally settling in and Annie is finally getting to a point where she doesn't scream 10 out of 24 hours in a day. Now I have to worry about her not gaining. She went for her 2 month check up yesterday and only gained 4 oz in a month yeah only 4 that is nothing. I don't want to stop nursing her so I need to try to make sure she nurses longer and more often. The pedi is sure it is because of her reflux so I am trying to work on all the remedies for that too, changing my diet, keeping her upright it is all a lot with 5 other children at home!

So here is my funny today, my 2 year old brought me a little 2 inch baby doll and told me it was his new baby then preceded to "feed" it. Yup you got it, he nursed his doll hehehehehehehehe lol. I called my husband at work to tell him and he was less than amused! My older daughters tried to tell him that Daddys don't make milk only mamas do but there was no stopping him, he wanted to feed his baby!! How cute.
Well the princess has awoken and I should try to feed her again.

It's March

It is March already, this year just began and its March!!! Have you ever stopped to think about how fast time is flying and that someday you wont be here anymore? As we spent the last 3 days getting our house in order with some repairs and fix up work I started thinking really what purpose do we serve? Unless we signed the constitution, invented the light bulb or cure cancer, we will just be forgotten. Our children will remember us and our grandchildren and after that we will just be that someone in an old photo that no one remembers. Now don't get me wrong, I am not looking to be famous I just want to have meant something. So that got me thinking, maybe I cant be known for centuries for some significant contribution but I can be remembered for a contribution in some one's life. I have decided that we need to start giving back. I dont have a lot of money but we could start doing more for the world. We could volunteer and make donations to worthy charities. We already give our old clothes, toys and household items to the orphanage or the local women's shelter but I am going to spend some time tomorrow calling around to find out if there is somewhere that we can volunteer. I am thinking maybe a retirement community for now after all, the kids are kinda little but maybe as they get older we can start going to shelters and food banks. I just need to know that my life served a purpose even if it doesn't make me go down in the history books!!!
