Eli continues to be a really good baby (overall) and James is getting more interested. He kept trying to hold Eli while I was nursing him today. My mom wrapped a stuffed animal up in a recieving blanket and called it James' baby and James carried it around, sat down with it, was hugging it, then decided to roll on it. It was pretty sweet. Jed is really comfortable with Eli and has taken on a lot more 'baby-chores', like bathing Eli, getting up with him after his 5am feed to settle him/hold him so that I can go back to sleep sooner, and seems to just love having Eli sleep on his chest while he reads. I guess Jed knows how short lived this'll be. I do feel very blessed.
God is very good.

I love your honesty, Elly. If anyone told me I had to have a third child right now I'd probably slug them. Hard. That's awesome that James is so good with his little brother...and that Jed helps you out so much. Oh, and thanks for your prayer...for wisdom, patience, strength...etc...I need it all!! I don't know about you, but I'm finding God so much nearer during this sleep-deprived time. Yesterday during a psycho naptime I started to cry and felt him say, "Let go of control, Jacki. I'M in control." and that felt really good...to let go. :) Is Eli still doing good long stretches at night for you? Kids are stirring, gotta fly! Here goes another day!
WOW you two! Or should I say you four! I guess it is true what they say...love multiplies!! Congrats again and you really do make beautiful babies! Elly, you look amazing!!
All the best from Berlin,
Sue
I'm sure that what you're feeling right now is pretty normal!!! Glad that James is getting more interested. We had friends visiting this morning with a new baby, and taeya just pushed her away!!! guess she's not ready to be a sister yet :)
hope you're able to get into a good routine soon, just the four of you :)
see you tomorrow!
