Our Growing Family: Our new life as a family of 5

As you can tell by how long it has taken me to update this blog, we are busy! lol. It's a lot harder to have downtime these days. It's crazy, yes but I am enjoying every single passing moment as a Momma to these little angels. It's amazing how much Leia and Nora love their sister. They take care of her like she is their own baby. Their loving maternal side has really shown itself. I am so lucky that welcoming a 3rd baby into our family has brought us nothing but happiness and excitement. We are slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things. Leia has started preschool 3 days a week and we have a nanny come watch the girls while I go to work 3 days a week. It has really been an easy transition. Kira has been so easy-going. She smiles and giggles now and is so happy throughout the days. She nurses and takes a bottle like a champ and her favorite moments are spent snuggling into someone's arms. We are so blessed with her and I am thankful everyday that I get a chance to have a new baby in my arms again. The girls are growing so fast that I want to hold on to every moment. Some of my favorite moments these days are when I get to have one-on-one time with each girl. After I drop off Leia at school Nora, Kira and I go to the fountain on the days I am off and enjoy splashing, laughing, and playing together. Nora is simply a joy to be around. 2 year olds are so fun to be with and I feel so lucky to her Mommy. Nora especially is happy every second of every day. She makes me want to be a better person. At all times throughout the day she will randomly come kiss me and say "I love you so much Mommy". Life doesn't get much sweeter. Each child holds such a special place in our hearts and the challenge these days is to try to fit in as much quality time with each of them as possible.
