Gizmo and Gadget seem to be adjusting just fine to their baby sister. We’re trying our best to give them as much attention as we can, but it’s one thing after another all day and night right now. I think the best approach is to lie down hugging them — that way we get some rest and they get some attention.
Today is my first day back in school after missing a few days for the birth plus the Mardi Gras holiday (monday and tuesday). I’m trying to get my focus back, but it’s just going to take a few days to get into the routine again. Some things are staying the same. I get up, I take a shower, I walk the boys, we come in, they eat, I eat, I pack my books and drive to school. Other things are changing, of course.
I think the biggest change is that I used to be able to go lock myself in a room and work. Now my attention is split when I’m trying to do that. I’ll try to read, but I’ve got this little thing sitting next to me moving around asking for [food / pacifier / diaper / etc].
This semester’s going to be really tough. On the bright side, though, Martine is healthy and Gizmo and Gadget are starting to really like her!
