The bright spot in my dark year

August 1, 2008

So as I mentioned in my last post, 2007 is not a year I will remember fondly. January 2008, however, made it all worth it. We welcomed Baby #4 (affectionately known as ‘Lil Smokie a.k.a. Smoke) into our lives and what a joy he is…even if he doesn’t sleep or eat well. And when you’re that little, what else is there? Well, pooping maybe, and now that I think about it, he doesn’t do that well either. We haven’t had an easy baby yet and all I want to know is, WHERE DO PEOPLE GET THOSE THINGS? No matter. We’ll keep him.

    If it`s any consolation, neither of my babies were easy either, though the second tricked us into thinking that he was for a couple of months before he turned into a brat. :) We love him anyway!

    Your kids are absolutely gorgeous! As for the depression, I`ve been there myself and have to say that diet played a big part in helping me deal with life again. I hope you have many better days.

    Your children are gorgeous! Congrats on the new arrival! (though it’s clearly been a while since his arrival ;-) )
