Sweet and Cranky

 It's an amazing roller coaster to be the mother of these three munchkins!

They keep me on my toes.  I have many wonderful moments with them each day, and some very cranky times!

Life has been a struggle over the past six months.  Postpartum depression began when Miyah was just one month old.  I thought I could handle it, or it would go away.  A few months later I realized things were bad and I needed help.  My doctor quickly prescribed some med's to help with my depression, anxiety and panic attacks.  I also talked with my doctor about many other health concerns.  After blood work, antibiotics, more blood work and tons of side affects.  Still waiting for some answers, and treating my crazy symptoms as they come.  I know someday I will want to remember all the things that went on.  I currently feel like a walking pharmacy.

My awesome sarcastic husband has been so wonderful and picked up the slack when needed and cracked jokes to keep me smiling.  I feel like my body is betraying me and falling apart.  My attempts to get my pre-baby body back have not been successful.  I start working out when I have free time(what's that?)  and become sick with a cold/sinus infection that takes me out for up to four weeks.  I'm currently on my 3rd sinus infection in seven weeks.

Enough complaints from me.  I have so many things to be thankful for.  My family is wonderful, and I know that my Heavenly Father is mindful of all the bumps in the road.  My daughters are such a blessing.  They often wake up before I would like them to and come sweetly ask for breakfast.  Peyton would love for me to stay in bed with her and watch Mickey Mouse or Toy Story like we did when I was on bed rest.  She often disappears throughout the day, and I find that she has un-made my bed and crawled in the sheets waiting for some quality time with mom.  Brynlyn loves Kindergarten but despises the homework each night.  Miyah is the best baby.  She is a complete momma's girl.  Life is full, and I am truly happy most days!

I am certain the girl's will hate this picture when they are older, but(Pun intended) we had to have a bum shot.  Brynlyn and Peyton wanted to teach Miyah how to swim.
