And some more photos that I took today of Lily at 3.5 weeks. Can't believe she will be 1 month old in 5 days, how the heck did that happen??
I am soooooooo tired tonight, had such a hard emotional day today. Leon arrived home an hour early and OMG I just about cried from relief as I passed Lily on to him. She hasn't been too bad, she just isn't sleeping except if it is in my arms and I just can't sit still and do nothing for that long, but each time I pop her down she opens her eyes and moans grrrrrr. Silly bubba.I think I need CHOCOLATE and COFFEE :) that might help.
Sorry I'm sweet and short again today, I know all the mums out there will understand ;)
Weekend is almost here - HOOORAY!!

ohh Jolene, everything seems much worse than it is when you are tired. my second bubba was a big challenge, thankfully my newest little cherub is an angel baby. if you are a reader, you could try tizzie halls book 'save our sleep' the routine is spelt out very easily and it worked for me. i started it at 8 weeks.
Jolene, you're girls are just beautiful. Little Lily is so precious. I love her little outfit - can I ask where
that is from? It's great to see that you're getting to scrap. Another beautiful layout. I seen on 2peas this morning that you have a few layouts in the top ten at the same time - way to go!!!
Enjoy your weekend. I hope you get to relax a little.

Love your lo, & congrates for the lo cover page had to buy the magazine.

I love your LO Jolene! I hope i manage to scrap a bit once bub arrives... DD was a hectic baby so a nice quiet one would make a lovely change! LOL!
I am sorry to hear you had a tough day. We all have them but it doesn't make it any easier. Just make sure you take as mush time for yourself as possible... you deserve it!!!
Enjoy your chocolate and coffee!!!

Dear Jolene,
One of the girls on our scrapbooking forum here in Quebec has posted a message telling us how she loved what you did and how she had been reading your blog on a regular basis. She was also writing about something so true and that is how we grow attached to total strangers simply by reading about their daily routine and life. She was telling us how sad she was upon reading about your husband leaving you and your two little girls and I could not refrain from writing to you after looking at your pictures and reading your blog. You just sound like such a wonderful person and I just wanted to tell you that all the way from Northern Quebec, Canada, many of us are praying for you as well. You are not alone. We are sending you tons of good vibes and you will pull through this. You are beautiful, strong, intelligent, caring, and a loving, wonderful woman. Take things one day at the time. Try to relax as much as you can by soaking in a nice hot bath, scrapping or cooking. Indulge yourself and go outside, take walks with the girls. Go to the park. You know, sometimes men are overwhelmed with having a small family. They start thinking it will be greener on other pastures but soon realize what they are missing out on. I hope this happens to you. I hope your husband comes back to his senses and comes home with his family where he belongs. I wish I were there to help you out with the girls and to hug you and tell you that all will be all right because I know it will be... You are an angel and you deserve it.
Ask for help. You will realize how many wonderful people around you will lend in a hand graciously.
