The new normal?

Or is there even a normal to find? I'm not sure. I'm trying to settle in and find the new, improved schedule as I ought to be able to take back most of my chores in a few days, but I can't seem to remember how things should go. Maybe going from 6 to 7 children has just changed how it all goes anyway. Plus the children are older and Ethan and Eran are learning some chores. I guess everything really is different and I need to draw up new plans for school/chores routine.

My stomach is feeling much better. So, in that way, physically-normal is in sight. yay! I'm thinking of taking a short walk today with princess J in the sling carrier.

I need to take more pics. It's been hard since she's just looking better (the yellow is going) and now it's baby acne time. All of mine have had a brief stint of this. It isn't something that you love to take pics of. Princess M not only had the acne but I swear everytime I took her pic in the first month or so--she'd grimace at the last second. She outgrew that. :0)

We've been getting meals every other evening from our wonderful church. So appreciated! I'm not the first in the last couple months to have a baby and I'm not the last this month due--we're having a very fruitful year! The list of expectant moms keeps getting longer! I'm looking forward to taking meals to others.

I turned 39 last Thursday. I had been slightly nervous that I'd have to deliver that day and it was much nicer to cuddle a newborn. A very good birthday gift. Lucien is 49 tomorrow. Ack. We're getting old! Next year, we're hoping to have a big party.
