New pregnancy, tough month

In January 2012, we have moved out of our big green house into the little apartment.  Just in time too – Momma is sick from being pregnant.  The baby is 5 weeks old and 1 inch long!    And already he is changing her life.  She is on the couch and we are all trying to keep life going without her.  It is not going too smoothly so far.

This week and weekend Wisdom is struggling to give up nursing.  But at other times, he is the smiling adventurer and tinkerer.  We set up a outdoor play-yard for him and he spent 2 hours on Saturday playing with the tractor, sled, a hammer and some sticks, while Daddy was working with firewood.
Inside, he decided to run for the bathroom a couple of times – without ever being told to or trained!
He went to the stores with Daddy and was a little friend, smiling at others and helping to put items on the checkout stand.

We’re all learning to adapt to our new life – and three transitions at once is a lot!   We’ve moved houses, and the apartment requires more hands-on work (such as dishes)..   Momma is pregnant and sick, and Wisdom can’t nurse all the time because it makes Momma even weaker..   and so everyone has more work to do.   Thankfully, our church family is starting to bring us meals.
