Rough Days

Warning:  This post contains the venting of a hormone crazed, sleep deprived mother, that now has four children ages six and under. I'm having one of those motherhood days where I haven't slept in a couple of days due to a sick one week old and I'm dealing with kids that seem to have it out for me.  They are coughing, sneezing, and wiping their runny noses all over the tables, couches, their clothes, blankets, and basically any other surface available to them.  They don't listen to a single thing I ask or tell them to do or not do. They fight with each other or me non stop and every time Scotland finally falls asleep, they wake her, either by screaming and yelling or coming up and messing with her. I'm trying to be patient.  I'm hormonal and exhausted, and they are going through big changes with a new sister.  I could probably handle the arguing and fighting, the not listening, and even their messes though if it weren't for the germs and illness.  I know

Sweet Baby Scotland Paige

One week ago, Wednesday, April 16th, we welcomed our sweet little baby girl into the world. I'd like to introduce you to our amazing little bundle of love and joy, Scotland Paige Tiemann. I went in for a normal scheduled c-section.  There were only a few minor hiccups during the process but nothing too awful, like last time. The morning started out super early on barely any sleep and with two nervous parents.  Here's my last baby bump picture. As soon as I got changed into my gown, they got my iv started and hooked me up to all the fun monitors. While this was happening... Finally after a very long feeling almost two hours, I walked back to the OR where they attempted to start my spinal.  It took 4 extremely painful tries before actually getting it to work.  Finally, I was all ready and in came Shawn with the camera. It didn't take but a few minutes and at 8:37 am, there she was.  My biggest baby at 7 pounds 15 ounces and 20 inches long.

Happy Homemaker Monday

As I look outside my window::: It's cloudy and cold!  This morning, it snowed.  I'm so over it and ready for summer weather. Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch in the living room, listening to the girls watching their iPads and munching away on pop corn. Thinking and pondering::: All of the things I have to do today and tomorrow to get ready for the baby that is coming on Wednesday!!! On my bedside table::: My bottled water and Hollow City by Ransom Riggs, which I have yet to actually crack open. On my tv tonight::: Monday:  Bones The Following Tuesday: The Little Couple 19 Kids and Counting Chicago Fire Wednesday: Million Dollar Listing Law and Order SVU Flipping Out Chicago P.D. Thursday: Grey's Anatomy Friday: Saturday: Sunday: Game of Thrones Call the Midwife Listening to::: The kids loud iPads On the menu for this week::: This week is all kinds of crazy since I won't be home Wednesday morning through Saturday afternoon
