Just saw your page from the other day (yesterday?) so I figured I'd just start a new post so that thread doesn't get too off topic!

First, thanks for asking how I'm doing! Life with 4 is really the same as life with 3, ha! Just as crazy. I really didn't have any trouble adjusting to 4 kids at all, which was nice! I definitely had more trouble after I had Reid. But since we've done the 2U2 thing before and the being outnumbered thing before, having 4 is really NBD. BUT. Reid has been acting out a bit since the baby came, poor guy. He's been climbing on all the things (yesterday he was standing on his highchair tray... I about died!) and going as far as running out the front door when no one is looking. He's REALLY giving us a run for our money! He has good times too though... he's not all bad. Just mostly bad.

But thankfully he's taking it out on us and not the baby. He adores his sister!

My first day back to work was great... they had a sign on my door and a yummy lunch for me, which was super sweet. And although I had a TON of meetings with coworkers, parents and dealt with several serious issues (like a student in a coma), it was still easier to deal with then being home with all the kids! I was all "SWEET... a designated lunch break where I can eat. WITH TWO HANDS!" No one in my office has kids except for 1 other girl, so they when they were telling me how crazy it's been in the office while I was out I wanted to say "Oh yeah? Wanna trade?" Ha!

Re: Selling the house- Nope! We had it listed over the summer last year and decided to take it off the market in the fall because the market sucks in our area and showings were getting hard to deal with being so pregnant. We're relisting within the next few weeks though (basically as soon as we get a few minor things done, like planting flowers and cleaning up the yard, painting our master bedroom ceiling, etc.) and praying that it sells. We're going to lose a ton of money (close to $50k between all of our renos and listing the house for less than we paid) but we've accepted that now. I'm just ready to be DONE. FX that it sells this time... I WANT A NEW HOUSE!

How are you??

Nice to see you around! I figured you had been super busy lately.

@SharkFarts - Thanks! I've been posting here and there from my phone while nursing, but it's definitely easier to get online while I'm at work!

Glad to hear things are going well! I'm sure Reid isn't the only s12 baby giving their parents a run for their money! But OMG on the high chair?! I would die! Glad to hear Emmie is doing well, she's so pretty, and looks so different than your other three! Glad nursing seems to be going well too! Hopefully that all works out with you working! Glad your first day back to work wasn't awful, I know you were really dreading it. Good luck with the house sale! It stinks you guys put so much work into it and still aren't even going to break even, but a bigger better house will be awesome!! Although, I couldn't imagine trying to move with 4 kids. Hopefully you find your forever home! Anyway, it's nice to see you popping around here lately
