Someone let me off this roller coaster

There are weeks between posts, as Tim and I just live and breath and keep everyone alive.  We are finally settling into the swing of four, when one of those four is a newborn. Today felt like a pretty big milestone, as we were able to travel to Wichita and back to take in a show and everyone was able to enjoy it! I think that all new parents have to find their new normal and maybe (fingers crossed) we have finally found ours. BUT the thing is that as soon as we find a new normal, new normal slips into the next new normal. If we feel comfortable where we are then inevitably we will get a phone call or text or email that will shake up what we are comfortable with.
Our sweet little puddin is 3 months and one week old today. That means she has been a part of our for three whole months.  It has gone so quickly and yet so slowly. Starting this week we will share her with a little more frequency with her family. While we are very happy for them, we are a little sad for us. Sharing means admitting that she isn't ours, that she might not stay and that she actually belongs somewhere else. So as we ride this rollercoaster, bare with me when I occassionally ask for the exit. This mama's heart can only take so many rides up and down.
