I will probably never catch up, but wanted to finish documenting Disney!<br />
<br />
Well, this is where things went down for me. The morning started out great. The kids looked so cute in their matching outfits.<br />
<br />
On the way to Epcot, Brooks got called with a work emergency. It is hard to handle emergencies when you aren't even in the same state! A high was that when we got there, we were second in line to meet Joy and Sadness! The boys love the movie <i>Inside Out</i> and were so excited to meet them. (I cry every time I look at these! I love Woody's expressions.)<br />

It was an awesome moment. It was getting really hot (to me) and Mae Stanley was melting so we went to the Baby Center for a feeding. (It only took me four hours to find it.) The boys went with Brooks and my parents to ride a ride. Then we met up to ride Nemo. I didn't know if it was the heat or that I was worried about Brooks, but I started to feel sick. We got a coke to see if it would help (it didn't), but I knew we had a FastPass to meet Mickey and Friends, so I was insisting that we stay. We walked around some, and I was trying to keep it together for another two hours. Then, my "Disney Miracle" happened. Randomly, there was Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto for pictures! With no line! We happily met each one, and I felt less guilty about leaving knowing they saw Mickey and Friends.<br />

Woody stayed with my parents, but Brooks, Gaines, Mae Stanley and I headed back a little before lunch. I thought I could take a nap and feel better, but when I woke up, I realized that I had a stomach virus/food poisoning. It felt like a stomach virus, but luckily, no one else got it! I spent the next 30 ish hours in bed. Whomp whomp. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you to my incredible husband and parents for helping with the kids. It is the worst to be in the happiest place on earth and can't leave the bed. I don't know what I would have done without them.</div>

We got there before the park opened <strike>because we are Hollons and believe in getting the most of our tickets</strike> in hopes of getting some of the popular attractions knocked out. This picture with all the grandkids and Nana cracks me up.<br />

Since we were just waiting around, I decided to go ahead and feed Mae Stanley at the Baby Center. I made it back right before they let us into the rides, and we headed for Splash Mountain. Gaines had been talking so big about how he wanted to ride Splash Mountain. We watched YouTube videos every night so he could watch the ride. If you asked him about Disney, he talked about how he was going to ride Splash Mountain. I was nervous that he wouldn't be tall enough. Since he was tall enough for Star Tours the day before, my fingers were crossed he would still measure 40 inches. (They measured him twice at Star Tours.) Wouldn't you know they didn't measure him once for Splash Mountain! </div>

We went down the tinies first hill and he goes, "Whoa that was scary." Uh-oh, he did know what was coming, right? When we went down a moderate hill, he started crying. I kept trying to prepare him for what was to come. It was hard being brave for him...</div>

Thank you, Sister, for holding Mae Stanley while we did this ride. After this ride, we headed to do Peter Pan. Woody wanted to ride with Jake, so we rode with Gaines and Mae Stanley. Gaines cried because at the last minute he wanted to ride with Uncle Billy, but it was too late, and Mae Stanley freaked out when it got dark and cried the whole time. It was magical.</div>

I knew Jake had some FastPasses for some roller coasters, so I had to pry Woody away. We went to ride the Barnstormer, which was their favorite last time we were at Disney. Well....I will let this video show show how Gaines handled it.</div>

We had FastPasses to ride the Seven Dwarfs ride, but it was broken (just like the last time!) While we were figuring this out, Sister took Mae Stanley with Hollon to meet with Ariel.</div>

After that, we headed back to the hotel for naps, showers, and dinner. My parents were so sweet and agreed to watch all of our kids (plus Hollon) while we went to back to the Magic Kingdom. We met up with Robbie, Emma, and Jake and rode the Haunted Mansion and the Mountains (Splash, Thunder, and Space.) We had so much fun and stayed out until 1:00am thanks to Magic Hours.</div>

If you follow Sister's blog you know that the end of May/first of June my parents took the entire family on a special trip to Disney World! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Memorial Day, we flew down with Sister's family, while my parents and my brother's family drove down. The week before, Mae Stanley had n ear infection and was still on a antibiotic that upset her tummy. Her first blowout came in the middle of security. Awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We boarded the plane and due to weather, had about an hour delay. Surprisingly, everyone kept their cool for the most part. </div>

We landed in Orlando and took the Magical Express. This was so nice because we didn't have to worry about our check luggage. Unfortunately, I plopped Mae Stanley in the seat next to Gaines will I rearranged and didn't realize Gaines had spilled his water bottle in the seat. Yep, another outfit change. This time she got to wear Hollon's 2T dress.</div>

Day 1- Hollywood Studios</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Our first full day was at Hollywood Studios. We had made reservations at Hollywood and Vine for breakfast. I was excited because Woody enjoyed this last time we were here. Also, since our reservation was before the park technically opened, we would have first dibs at the Jedi Training Camp. (Jake really wanted todo this last time they were at Disney and didn't get it. I may or may not have cried for him.) After we got in the park, Emma and Brooks took Jake and Woody and were able to be he first to sign up. Then we were able to enjoy breakfast.</div>

(Sister has videos <a href="http://robertandemmabush.blogspot.com/2017/06/disney-day-1-hollywood-studios.html">here</a>....and way more pictures. Mom or Sister, will you show me how to download pictures from Memory Maker?)</div>

It was one of those things that I thought would be cool for Woody to do, but mostly I was excited for Jake. However, watching him do it was pretty special. May was a hard month for us. Someday I will write about it hopefully. I loved watching him look up to his big cousin and try something new. (I was only slightly sad that he only wanted to hang with Jake and not his momma.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After, we split up. Brooks took Woody and I took Gaines and Mae Stanley and headed off with Mom, Sister, and Hollon. We did the Little Mermaid show. Gaines and Mae Stanley cried. Then we headed to Disney Jr Live.</div>

Hollon was so cute dancing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Gaines went and sat towards the back with Mom)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

During the show, Mae Stanley got hungry, so we headed to the Baby Center. (The one at Hollywood Studios was my favorite. It was small, but newer. And it had individual nursing rooms.)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the show, we headed back to the resort. Woody hung out in my mom and dad's room, Mae Stanley took a brief nap, and we took Gaines to the pool and splash pad. Then we cleaned up and headed back to Hollywood Studios around dinner time. Brooks and Woody had been on Star Tours earlier, so we decided to go back on it with Gaines. He was just tall enough! Gaines is totally a chicken, so I figured he would cry (especially since he didn't take a nap that day.) However, he was a rockstar! Woody and Gaines laughed so hard on it. Thanks Mom and Dad for watching Mae Stanley during this! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course Brooks bought them light sabers after, let them take them out of the box, and have a fight in the middle of Hollywood Studios.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We got another Fast Pass for Toy Story, so we rode that again. We wanted to stay for the fireworks, but a storm was rolling in and Mae Stanley was tired and hungry, so we headed back. Thankfully, everyone crashed (after a quick bath!) Such a great day at Disney!</div>

<u>Mae Stanley Facts</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Weight: We went to the dr due to an ear infection and she was just under 18lbs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Diaper Size: 3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Clothing Size: 9-12 months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Sleep: She still isn't an awesome napper. Some days are better than others. Her naps are at 9ish, 1ish, and a late afternoon catnap. She naps anywhere from 30 minutes to sometime 2 hours. If she only sleeps 30-45 minutes, I make her stay in her crib to an hour. Her late catnap is only 20-30 minutes. She is a FANTASTIC night sleeper (knock on wood.) She goes down between 6:00pm-7:00pm. She usually wakes between 5:00am-6:00am for an early breakfast and then goes back to sleep for two to three more hours. I am so thankful she sleeps well at night. If I had to pick, I would always choose night sleep!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Eat: Loves food, especially feeding herself. The weird reactions have stopped. She likes everything except avocado (how is she my child?!) She goes 4 hours between nursing feedings most of the time. She likes water or breastmilk in a sippy cup too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- She is sitting up. She randomly will tumble over sometimes, so I put the Boppy behind her and pillows all around her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- First black eye....She was trying to crawl and face-planted. She can scoot backwards pretty good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Has the deepest laugh...cracks me up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Center of attention. Mae Stanley needs an audience 24/7.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Most of her waking hours are spent on my left hip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Likes: Momma, Daddy, her brothers, attention, eating, being held, paper, baths, eating things she shouldn't, kicking Gaines</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Dislikes: When Momma is in the room and not holding her, being by herself, dirty diapers, nose being wipes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

After Mae Stanley's baptism, my parents took the boys with them for some time on the farm. We always miss them, but Mae Stanley especially missed them. She was so excited when we saw them, and she spent the entire car ride leaning forward so she could see her brothers.</div>

<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Weight and Height: 16lbs 7oz (50th percentile) and 26.5in (75th percentile)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Diaper Size: 3</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Clothing Size: 6-9 mo- She hit a big growth spurt in the last month!</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Sleep: You guys...we turned a corner! At night at least! We are using Moms on Call, and I swear, it worked the first night! I know that is not the norm, but I will take it. She is sleeping 12 hours most nights. Some nights she wakes after ten hours, but goes right back down after a feeding. Naps are still a hit or miss. We are working on going down to three a day, but we are in the car so much, most days are four. She tries to wake after 30-40 minutes, but I make her stay in her crib for an hour. Sometimes she goes back to sleep and will take a long nap, but a lot of time she just fusses. I hope if I stay (as) consistent (as I can), then maybe she will eventually start napping longer. Honestly though, if I had to pick being a great nighttime or daytime sleeper, I would pick night! She also is no longer using a sleepsack to sleep. We just put her in her crib with her lovie.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Eat: We started solids, but things haven't gone awesome. She has had some reactions, so we have had to be very careful when introducing new foods and have to keep the Benadryl close by. Her stomach is beginning to tolerate the food better though. We are going to meet with an allergist as well since she had such a strong reaction to some foods.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Her bottom two teeth just broke through! </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Her hair is light brown and has blue eyes</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Can sit up a little bit. She has to balance on her hands and usually falls over quickly. If I put her in her bouncy chair, she tried to use her little ab muscles to pull up to a sitting position.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Loves to blow spit bubbles. Gaines will tell her, "No spitting Mae-Mae!"</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">At dinner, Mae Stanley and Gaines will kick each other and laugh and laugh. She is fitting in nicely with her brothers!</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">But both of her brothers are her heart. They love her and she loves them! The boys were at my parents during Spring Break, and she would get so sad in the car when they weren't next to her. When I picked them up, she just stared at them the whole way home.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Nicknames: The Ness, MaeMae, BaeMaeStay (Baby Mae Stanley), Squeak</li>
</ul>

On April 2nd, Mae Stanley was baptized as a child of God. It was such a special day. Infant baptisms may seem silly to some, and no, we don't look at it as her "safety net" to Heaven. The sacrament of baptism represents the grace God gave us through Jesus Christ and the new life we have in Him. Even though Mae Stanley will never remember this day, her family will. We promised to teach Mae Stanley about her wonderful Savior, and we eagerly pray for the day when she stands in front of the church body and proclaims for herself that Jesus Christ is Lord of her life.</div>

It surprised Brooks and me. We wanted Woody to start trying some new activities, but he has never had a real interest in sports. We were so proud of him for wanting to try something new.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have a league that is in our neighborhood, so we were excited that we could walk to the games. And I love the league. He is in the 4-year old t-ball "rookie" league. It is super relaxed. No keeping score, no outs, no strikes. Everyone gets to bat, everyone gets to cross home plate. I know that as he gets older, those things will change (and they should!), but it is so fun for him now. Woody has already learned so much, and improving each game. I am especially thankful for the sweet coaches. They are so patient and kind to the boys.<br />

Gaines loves the gymnastics center at our church and wanted a "Lego Party." Thanks to a great staff (and supplies from Oriental Trading!), it was easy to pull off!<br />

<u>Mae Stanley Facts</u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Weight: No doctor's appointment, but I would guess 15 lbs</li>
<li>Diaper Size: Two during the day/Threes at night</li>
<li>Clothing Size: 3-6 mo/ 6mo</li>
<li>Sleep: Right after she turned five months, I did the Moms on Call Sleep Training. I will talk about that on her six month post, but for her five month post, things were no bueno. She enjoyed twenty minute naps and waking every 2-3 hours at night. She is lucky she is so cute! But, spoiler alert, right after she turned five months, things got SO MUCH BETTER!</li>
<li>Eat: Still just nursing. Every 3-3.5 hours (again...we changed things up right after she turned five months)</li>
<li>Likes: Momma, Daddy, and her bothers, baths, teething toys, toys in general, tickles, being held, her carseat mirror</li>
<li>Dislikes: bouncy seat when she wants to be held, her carseat when the mirror isn't singing to her, dirty diapers</li>
<li>She has rolled a few more times</li>
<li>Still sleeps on her back</li>
<li>Eczema is rough. However, we have a new product that is helping a lot.</li>
<li>No teeth</li>
<li>Hair is growing back blonde. She still has a sad bald spot in the back.</li>
<li>Smiles all the time....well, as long as Momma is around</li>
<li>Despite not being a great sleeper, she is super chill and very observant</li>
</ul>
<div>
Now, a quick shout-out to two products that are making my life easier</div>

I know, a $30 car mirror seems silly, but if your baby hates the carseat as much as Mae Stanley did, it is worth it. I actually purchased this during our last car ride to Alabama after hearing her scream for hours. She loves this thing. It lights up and can play happy music or sleepy music. It calms her down and makes my life so much easier. Go get you one.</div>

Cold weather is awful for eczema. Woody and Mae Stanley were having a bad outbreak and I bought this cream as well as the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mustela-Stelatopia-Bath-Eczema-Prone-Skin/dp/B01N0FQ3FU/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1490141359&sr=8-7&keywords=mustela%2Bstelatopia&th=1">bath oil</a>. I put the lotion on twice a day for Woody and three times a day for Mae Stanley. When they get out of their baths, I put the oil on them (and don't wash it off.) It has helped tremendously with their dry skin.</div>

<br />
Three years.<br />
36 months.<br />
156 weeks.<br />
1,096 days.<br />
<br />
But I remember it like yesterday. I was about to bring a baby boy into the world. I wish I could whisper to the me on March 6, 2014, "Life is about to be way more awesome than you ever imagine."<br />

It is no surprise that your favorite song is "Everything is Awesome." Because with you, it is true. You have taught me so much in three years. Patience, kindness, boldness, humor, and a very special unconditional love that show.</div>

In three years, your funny little personality shines a little more each day. You love bigger than that <strike>gigantic </strike>head of yours. You are the love bug of our family. You always ask us if we are happy, and you will cry if you think anyone is sad or mad. You are smart. You can figure out the coolest way to make a bridge or build a tower. You love to take a toy apart to try to put it back together again. You are hilarious. You love being the center of attention, and we can usually count on you to put on a show. Sometimes you are shy. It makes me laugh because it is a total phony act that you can't keep up for more than two minutes. You are stubborn. Bless your stubbornness....it will serve you well as an adult (although it drives me nuts now.) </div>

So much about you was a surprise and unplanned. But the world would not be as great without you. Our family would not be complete without you. I couldn't be momma without you. You are my Gainsie Guy, my Peepers, my Gippy, my Gaines Alton. You are my laughter, my fun, my dancing partner, my big blonde head, my cuddle bug, my baby boy, my love you too.</div>

<u>Mae Stanley Facts</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Weight: 14 lbs 13 oz</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Diaper Size: Two. Probably should soon put in threes at night</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Clothing Size: 3-6 months</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Sleep: Ha. Hahahahahaha. But really. In the midst of the four month sleep regression. Since she wasn't sleeping in her Rock'n'Play, I decided to make the transfer to her crib. We also quit swaddling since she rolled over (once and hasn't done it again.) If she can take her morning nap at home, she will sleep 45mins-hour and then takes 2-3 more during the day all about this length. These are the good days. However, with preschool drop-off or meetings or life in general, her first nap is often in the car. Then I get a bunch of bad 20-30 minute naps during the day. No matter what, she only stays awake 1.5-2 hours between naps. She does to bed between 6-7. She goes down easily. She eats, we rock, I put her down drowsy, but awake, and she puts herself to sleep. Then she wakes at eleven. If I feed her then, the night is dunzo. She will wake every 1-2 hours. I have been trying to be strong and just tell her that everything is okay and go back to sleep. And she usually does for a few hours! I usually break down when she wakes around 2. I am convinced she is starving, and I feed her. Then she is up every hour wanting a little more. I know- it is totally my fault! I created this and am supporting it. But really, she is so cute.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Eat: About the same, every 3-3.5 hours. I started sending her to Miss B's on Tuesdays and Thursdays to work on the bottle. I called it "Miss B's Bootcamp." Jokes on me- she has yet to take the bottle. She just cries and won't eat. We have tried four different bottles, breast milk, and formula. Nope. Nope. Nope. I talk a big game, but I am a wuss. One day, even though I had already paid Miss B to watch her, I let her play hooky. I know...I know.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Likes: Momma, Daddy, nursing, her lovie (a pink Bunny), pretending to sing to her brothers, animal noises, silver teething rings, baths, mornings</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Dislikes: Carseat, bottles, being away from Momma, loud or sudden noises, sleeping through the night</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Like I said earlier, rolled over! Once! From her tummy to her back</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Very aware of Woody and Gaines</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Tears times a zillion- she has really bad eczema like Woody. It breaks my heart. It is only on her face, and the two bad spots are from where she rubs it when she is tired. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">No teeth, but likes to put stuff in her mouth</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">I think might be a thumb sucker</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">I tickle her constantly because I love to hear her laugh</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Both boys loved the Exersaucer. Not Sister. In fact, not a big fan of being put down in general.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Yes, I am tired...all the time, but I love, love, love this little girl. She is the best "exclamation point" a family could ever ask for!</li>

I discovered this picture yesterday, and it stopped me in my tracks. I sent it to your daddy immediately with the caption, "What happened to these babies!?" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
See you are growing everyday. A little bigger, a little smarter, a little sassier, yet a little sweeter. You are changing constantly, and I don't realize it. So I am pressing pause on today. I know I often don't find the time to write in this blog like I once did, but I want to remember everything about these precious days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So what do these days look like? Your daddy and I are up often during the night. Someone needs to eat, someone had a bad dream, someone fell asleep in the other's bed, someone needs a diaper change or to go to the bathroom. We are tired...very tired. I often find myself wiping make-up away under my eye only to realize that it is not mascara, but these new dark circles that don't go away. Sometimes I look at my bed and want to cry because I am so tired, yet very needed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You are always learning and saying something hilarious, or profound, or asking an inquisitive question. It makes me wonder where it came from and reminds me to watch my own tongue and actions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You are making friends and this excites me. Whether it is Mae Stanley who gives a sweet smile to a stranger, Gaines who is shy at first (which makes me giggle because you are NOT shy at all at home), or Woody who loves to tell everyone, "Hello! How are you today? (you are your father's child.)" Your hearts have changed mine. You make me want to be a better person. You make me see people and interact with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

We are busy. We go, go, go. There is school, church, choir, and soon-to-be baseball. There are naps in cars and nursing in parking lots. I can feed a baby in my arm while tossing chicken nuggets a toddler. I am amazing at changing a toddlers diaper while standing in the backseat. And oh, that backseat. Nothing makes me happier than to look behind me and see my babies in a row. And when you brothers sing and sister coos along with you I know God has given me a slice of Heaven. I tend to drive a little slower or let a car cut me off. So thank you for reminding me to be a little kinder.</div>

Sometimes we stop the go, go, go. Sometimes we stay in our pajamas. We eat PB&Js for breakfast and spend hours playing play doh, or trains, or school. We race cars and build with Legos. We spell words and sing silly songs and dance to loud music. There is beauty in doing nothing because that is when the good something happens.</div>

Sometimes we all get on the ground and stare at the smallest Harvard. Mae Stanley, you adore your brothers. Boys, you adore your sister and even though you sometimes fight, you adore each other. You sleep in the same room, and most nights, in the same twin bed. You two are so different, yet you love each other so much. Maybe you should show the rest of the world that you don't always have to agree with everything about someone to find them spectacular. </div>

Stay-at-home moms often feel unappreciated. I'll admit, when I first became one I was almost disappointed I didn't have an annual review. I wanted someone to tell me I was doing a good job. I wanted someone to be impressed that I got a tough stain out an outfit, that I saved money at the grocery store, that I got you to eat a vegetable. Maybe no one notices that I will take you to the doctor with every sniffle, that I research sleep patterns and the top preschools. I don't earn a blue ribbon for taking you to the park when I am tired or letting you eat the last piece of cake. But now, I don't mind. You three are my greatest accomplishment. I am so proud of you, so I must be doing something right. Right? Right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Not everyday is sunshine and rainbows. I feel guilty because we eat too much fast food and watch too much TV some days. The house is often a mess and laundry piles up. I send in store-bought cookies for your parties, and sometimes, I completely forget to send anything at all. I forget to remind you of the importance of doing for others. I wish I would lose the baby weight, and then feel guilty for being vain and not appreciating the body that brought you into this world. I run our of patience, and I yell and come down on you way too hard. I cry. I get mad at myself. Sometimes, I can't even muster out a prayer. I just say, "Jesus." I have to ask for God's forgiveness a lot. I have to ask for your daddy's forgiveness, and often your forgiveness. But I want you to remember this too. Know my faults and shortcomings. In these moments, you will witness the beautiful grace that Christ gives to us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But despite it all, we are happy. We laugh a lot. Our days are special. I am so lucky to have you. And I hope that one, day, when you look through this blog and all the pictures of you when you were younger, you can remember. I love you forever.</div>

Brooks had to fly out of town, and the boys became very concerned that there wasn't a "daddy" at home. They insisted that they would be Daddy and help me. They did Daddy-sort of things like help me with the baby, and most importantly, wear ugly caps.</div>

<u>Mae Stanley Facts</u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Weight: 13 lbs</li>
<li>Diaper Size: 2</li>
<li>Clothing Size: 3-6 months</li>
<li>Sleep: I am starting to see a routine. She naps and sleeps in her Rock'n'Play (we have made changes in this area, but I am trying to stay true to what she mastered by three months!) She likes to be swaddled...but not too tight. Her naps are anywhere from 20 minutes-an hour. She usually stays awake an hour and a half before she is ready for another nap. She goes to bed between 9 and 10 on most nights. The longest stretch she has done at night in 7.5 hours. I'm not complaining!</li>
<li>Eat: Every 3-3.5 hours. She still won't take a bottle....awesome.</li>
<li>Likes: Momma, Daddy, when her brothers talk to her, snuggles, her playmat, dolls, her fist</li>
<li>Dislikes: Carseat, dirty diapers (hates them), bottles, people sneezing</li>
<li>This baby is such a buttercup. She smiles all the time and has started laughing.</li>
<li>Her little thighs are starting to get rolls and I adore her dimple knuckles</li>
<li>Her eyes are BIG and blue like her brothers. Her hair is light brown. Poor Sister has an epic bald spot in back.</li>
<li>We kinda follow a Mom's on Call schedule...but kinda not. I feel that we are working towards a better schedule. I just don't think I will ever be one of those mommas that can get their baby on a schedule...and I am okay with that.</li>
<li>We are all still so incredibly, madly in love with our girl.</li>
</ul>

Alyssa is once of my favorite people. She is so positive and upbeat. The boys adore Watts as well.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was a little nervous about how I would do in such a crowded place with all the kiddos. I ended up having to park on the street and walk to the zoo, but I made the boys ride in the double Bob and wore Mae Stanley in the Baby Bjorn. Once we got in, I let the boys walk around, and it was nice to have the stroller hold the bags.</div>

After the train, we rode the Merry-Go-Round. It was a little stressful because Woody wanted to sit on the bench and Gaines wanted to ride an animal. Of course all the animals in front of the bench were taken. Alyssa got Watts on an animal right behind the bench and told me she would keep an eye on Woody. Then I couldn't get Gaines on his animal with Mae Stanley strapped to me. Once the ride started, Gaines freaked out and was trying to get off/hold on to me. We all decided that was exhausting and we needed to go home and sleep! Everyone took a great nap though and decided it was a very fun day!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You guys, Christmas was so wonderful. I knew Christmas would be awesome watching the boys get the gifts they have long been asking for, but having Woody sing Christmas songs and retell the nativity was the absolute best. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Christmas Eve</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love being in Atlanta for Christmas Eve. It is so special going to Christmas Eve service at Peachtree. This year, Woody was going to be singing at the 10:00am service. I didn't take pictures. I was so proud and too lost in the moment to think about getting my phone out for pictures. I was so proud of him for learning all the songs and singing so well. He had quite the fan club as well. Not only were Brooks, Gaines, Mae Stanley, and I there, but Nana, Gran, Mimi, Papa, Aunt Savanna, and Uncle Jake came as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once it was finished, Mimi and Papa took Gaines home and the rest of us ate a quick lunch because we had to get back so Mae Stanley could be Jesus in the 1:00pm service. I was so proud! I think I told everyone in Atlanta she was going to play Jesus. She did so great too. She slept the whole time, which was hard because the orchestra was loud. Sometimes she would throw up her arms, but she didn't cry the entire time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cried. Sue me. </div>

Once we got home, we got ready to host Christmas Eve for Brooks's family. I ordered dinner from Whole Foods again, but no fire trucks this year. Then we exchanged family gifts. Again, having too much fun and forgot to take pictures, but here is a picture of our table ready to host 11 people.</div>

We then headed to church. The nursery staff had the day off (which, duh, I should have known!), so we had to take the boys in with us. We sat in the back of the balcony so we wouldn't disturb anyone. The boys were being so sweet and wanted us to hold them while we sang Christmas songs. It was one of my favorite parts of this Christmas. It was special to be in church on Christmas with my family. Then looking down at sweet, Baby Mae Stanley and thinking about Mary holding Baby Jesus. </div>

As a child, December 26 was the most depressing day. It was like the magic was gone. But not now. Woody still sings all of the Christmas songs. He also still knows all the lines from his class's version of The Nativity Story. He refuses to let me put up the Fisher Price Nativity Set. And maybe he has a point. Maybe I should do a better job of remind myself to "Don't Be Afraid! <strike>You're gonna have a baby,</strike>" and to sing about the angels rejoicing. </div>

Everything was going well until everything wasn't. One Tuesday, I was about to pick up the boys from preschool and I felt so sick. I felt like I had the flu, but without the cold symptoms. It hurt to move. Sweet Brooks came home, but was about to fly out of town, so my amazing parents drove up to help out. By the time they got here on Wednesday, I was doing better and felt bad they had come over. However, Thursday I woke up with full-blown mastitis. Ugh. I couldn't have made it without them!</div>

At his class party, he told me to leave as soon as I got there. Typical. I did manage to get a picture of him. (Of course, when I showed him this picture last weekend, he said, "Oh, that is me at my party, and I cried because you left me." Cue momma tears! I felt so bad!)</div>

Our Christmas Card 2016</div>

Even with all the craziness of December...travel, parties, sickness, and shopping, Woody says it best- "It's Baby Jesus's Birthday!" Don't get me wrong, he is VERY in to Santa and VERY in to what Santa is going to bring him. But sometimes, he says the sweetest things that are a reminder about the wonderful gift of a tiny baby who was sent to be the Savior of this world. Our world is very broken. It is easy to turn a blind eye to the hardships, because the pain seems to big to face. But this baby. This baby that was born in a manger came to save this broken world. He is bigger than all the pain, hurt, and sadness. He is the Healer, the Joy, the Prince of Peace. He is the best gift we could ever receive. </div>

<ul>
<li>Height and Weight: Well, we didn't go to the doctor for her two month checkup. We will be there closer to three months. She is growing though!</li>
<li>Diaper Size: 1..but I think she will be in a two soon</li>
<li>Clothing Size: Mostly 3 months</li>
<li>Sleep: Naps are still all over the place. She either sleeps in the rock and play, carseat, or is being held during naps. I know I need to put her in the crib more, but, eh, welcome to being the third child. She does well sleeping at night. She gets really, really mad before bed, but usually goes down between 9-10. Sometimes she will sleep all the way to 5:00, but usually she wakes between 3-4 to eat. She goes back down easily though. She doesn't get up for good until between 7-8.</li>
<li>Eat: I am still feeding on demand. She usually goes between 3-3.5 hours, but as the day goes on, she likes to cluster feed in the late afternoon/early evening.</li>
<li>Likes: being held, baths, her bouncy chair, looking at her mobile, music, mommy feeding her, clean diapers</li>
<li>Dislikes: dirty diapers, being cold, stopping the car</li>
<li>She is so chill. By far my easiest baby!</li>
<li>Smiling so much! And those are big smiles!</li>
<li>Took her first trip to Alabama over Thanksgiving</li>
<li>Went to her first birthday parties- Blakely, Davis, and Watts</li>
<li>Hair is a dark blonde/light brown and she had blue eyes</li>
<li>The boys are still obsessed with her. They both call her "my baby"</li>
<li>Actually, everyone is obsessed with her</li>
<li>New nickname- "The Ness" Brooks calls her the babyness and Ness just stuck</li>
</ul>

My mom had bought the grandkids matching pajamas. We attempted a family picture and it went pretty well! I can't believe there are seven grandkids! See more pictures on Sister's <a href="http://robertandemmabush.blogspot.com/2016/11/thanksgiving.html">blog</a>. There was so much great food, and we had the best time catching up with my siblings and cousins.<br />

I have been surprised how many "weepy"moments I have had, but with each week, I feel things are falling a little more into place. Of course, then we will have a really tough patch of days, but then slowly resume back to a place of normalcy. </div>

I am thankful for how sweet the boys are to Mae Stanley. Of course they miss Momma's undivided attention, and I know the minute she starts touching their stuff she will become the enemy, but for now, I am soaking up these tender moments. I constantly find them just "chatting with her."</div>

I am thankful for preschool. Those teachers love my boys. The care about them and want them to be the best they can be. They support their strengths and encourage them to overcome their weaknesses. I am very thankful my boys love preschool too. They will tell you (quite quickly) that they would rather go to school than stay home. They love their little friends, and I am thankful they are making friends.</div>

<ul>
<li>Weight: 10lbs (75th percentile)</li>
<li>Height: 22 inches (90th percentile)</li>
<li>Diaper Size: 1</li>
<li>Clothing Size: Newborn, 0-3 month</li>
<li>Sleep: Her naps can range anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours. Most of her naps are in my arms, the bouncy seat, or her rock n play. She quickly decided she hated her beautiful bassinet I bought. I have put her down a few times in her crib. At night, she gets very fussy before bed. 9:00-11:00 isn't her happiest.We do a lot of holding and nursing. However, once she is down, I can get anywhere from 3-5 hours with her asleep in the rock n play. And to be honest, if she isn't asleep by 2:00/3:00 am, I let her sleep with me. I don't like it, but I need some sort of sleep!</li>
<li>Eat: She eats anywhere from 2.5-3.5 hours. Right before bed I nurse her on demand. We tried giving her a bottle on Saturday. Sister wasn't a fan. We will keep at it.</li>
<li>Likes: cuddles, eating, burping, bright toys, her rock n play, talking to her, when Mommy buys her clothes :)</li>
<li>Dislikes: her carseat, baths, her brothers holding her, bedtime</li>
<li>She honestly is a laid-back baby. She doesn't cry much during the day unless it involves her dislike list.</li>
<li>Has light brown hair and blue eyes</li>
<li>Looks like Woody</li>
<li>But acts more like Gaines as a baby!</li>
<li>Nicknames: We still call her Squeak because she squeaks at night!, Miss Mae, Mae-Stay, and the boys (especially Gaines) often refer to her as Sister</li>

First off, let me start by saying that trying to find time to blog is not the easiest! But my sweet parents offered to take the boys for a few days to help me out with some scheduling conflicts. The boys were thrilled to go (they would much rather be with any of their grandparents than their crazy mother who has a silly thing called rules and consequences.) So now I have a few moments and I hope to get caught up on blogging and thank you cards!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, onto Halloween! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
High-Our first holiday with Mae Stanley!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Low- We don't have the best track record with Halloween (<a href="http://teachchic.blogspot.com/2014/11/halloween-2014.html">2014</a> and <a href="http://teachchic.blogspot.com/2015/10/halloween-part-1-i-can-no-longer-claim.html">2015</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The week before, both boys had colds. Not the best environment for a newborn, but what can you do? Gaines missed a day of school, but rallied in time for his Halloween party on Thursday. Since Mae Stanley is still so little, I didn't want to have her around a lot of preschoolers, so sweet Brooks volunteered to go to his party in my place. I was bummed I couldn't be at his first school party, but Gaines loved having his dad there. I am so lucky to be married to a guy who is willing to rearrange his very busy work schedule to be there for his boys. They don't wear their costumes to school, so I had Gaines on a cute, fall-ish outfit, but he had a potty accident and had to wear his "extra" clothes (aka an old shirt and shorts.) </div>

Woody's nose had somewhat cleared up by Monday (Halloween), so I sent him to school so he could go to his party. Again, Brooks saved the day and went in my place. Woody is very routine based, and wasn't thrilled that so many grown-ups were at school...including his own father. He slowly warmed up to the idea and quit giving Brooks so many dirty looks for being there.</div>

Woody has said since this summer that he wanted to be Snoopy. Gaines has changed his mind 385,847 times. Since I knew Woody wanted to be Snoopy, I wanted Gaines to be Charlie Brown, and Mae Stanley to be Woodstock. Sometimes Gaines would agree to be Charlie Brown, but a shark and a garbage man were always in the running. Since I still had the shark costume my sister had loaned me, Gaines and I agreed that he could be "Sharky Brown."</div>

Let me tell you, 4 and 2 are fun ages for trick or treating! Woody really got the hang of it, and Gaines quickly followed. They were so excited to get candy. They loved ringing doorbells (7 times and knocking if you weren't quick enough) and yelling "Trick or Treat! Boo! Happy Halloween!" We had the best time. The Byrnsides came with us, and after a few houses, Beth, Mae Stanley and I headed back, while Brooks and Mike stayed out with the boys. Such a fun night!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then came Tuesday...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Mae Stanley woke up with some congestion. She had no fever, but I called the doctor to make sure I shouldn't bring her in. They assured me to just keep giving her saline. My brother, niece and sister-in-law (who is a nurse) came over to visit (which we all really enjoyed!) and again Leigh Ann assured me that as long as she wasn't running a fever, we were in the clear. My heart broke with how Mae Stanley sounded, but I tried to remain calm. Then, after Gaines's nap, she began to feel really hot. I called my other sister-in law (Savanna) over to watch the boys, and told Brooks to get home because I thought we needed to take her in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
By the time Savanna and Brooks got to my house, he temperature had gone down. Savanna went home, and I went to get Brooks some soup because I thought he was coming down with something. On my way home, Brooks called to say Mae Stanley felt hot, so Savanna was coming back over (sainthood...seriously) and we were going to go to the ER. In my heart, I felt she was probably okay, but just didn't want to risk anything with a 3 week old. We get to the ER and it is PACKED. I mean, just to check in, the line went to the door. There wasn't even a waiting room chair available. I looked in and realized that we would do more harm than good by going in, so we turned around and went home. I just stayed up with Mae Stanley and made sure her temperature didn't go back up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On Wednesday, Brooks went from feeling bad to terrible. I made him go to the doctor, which he never does. Turns out, he had the flu and bronchitis, and would need to be in quarantine. I really began to panic about Mae Stanley. I called the doctor again, and she assured me that as long as her temperature didn't go up, she was okay. (In all honesty, I began to panic about me too! Brooks is a really big help, and I realized that the next few days I would be on my own!) Mae Stanley honestly was starting to sound better, so I decided to go ahead and take Woody to choir practice. On the way there, Mae Stanley started crying...which turned to screaming. When we got to church, I took her out and saw that she had spit up a lot of mucus, and in that mucus was some blood. I tried not to freak out too much. However, after talking to my mother and mother-in-law, I began to freak out. I called my sister-in-law, Leigh Ann, who was at work. (Moral of this story? My sisters-in-law are amazing. No really.) She told me that it was probably from her screaming, but she checked with the OB and a NICU nurse who all said the same. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And if that wasn't enough....I got to have a phone conference with Woody's teachers. Nothing major, but it was just one more thing on top of a hard day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I felt a little better, but Thursday, while the boys were at school, I took her to the doctor anyway. The pediatrician assured me that Mae Stanley was very healthy, her chest was clear, and she had no fever. She also talked to me about my anxiety. I have definitely felt more anxious lately, but after Wednesday, wouldn't you?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Later on Thursday, my friend, Elizabeth, brought us dinner. I met Elizabeth through MOPS. Our boys are the same ages and we live close. She is so genuine and kind. I didn't panic that the floors weren't swept or the playroom was a mess. Instead I poured out to her how hard the week had been. I felt good just to talk to someone. Later that afternoon, when I went to check the mail, I saw that Elizabeth had placed the sweetest note in my mailbox with a Starbucks gift card. It was a reminder of how even though things might be a little tough, I am surrounded by friends and family (near and far), that I can lean on. Thank you God for giving them to me!</div>

So that pretty much sums up Halloween 2016! It sure was scary, but God is always good!</div>
