First my Mom came and stayed with us for 2 whole weeks after Gloria was born and made the transition to 3 kids so easy for those weeks she was here. I didn't do a stitch of laundry, hardly any cooking, and she took most of the older kiddo duty while I fed Gloria... which in those early weeks is the majority of the day. This was her "vacation" this summer and I know she left more exhausted than when she came! She is one amazing momma and lady in general and Maddie and Rivers loved having her here. We miss her dearly... and I am missing my naps :)Thanks Mom!
After mom left my aunt Susan stayed with us another week and helped so much cooking, cleaning, playing with the kids. We had so much fun with her. She helped Madeline plant some tomatoes and peppers, and with that won her affection! Maddie still talks about "Aunt Su Su" and wants to know when she's coming back! So Susan, hopefully you will make Louisville one of your regular places to come visit.
My in laws were such a big help during the time we were in the hospital with Gloria. Mike's sister and her family along with my mother in law kept Madeline and Rivers for 3 days and nights. It was so comforting to know my kids were well taken care of and were having so much fun as well! Mawmaw also has come and baby sat several times so I can go grocery shopping without the kids. The kids love Mawmaw and I don't know what we would do without her!
Also many of the sweet ladies at church have brought us meals, come to visit, and have just been an encouragement and blessing during this time. We absolutely LOVE our church! So thank you for making the past month so much easier than if we had done it alone!!!!!
