This magic moment

As I perused through the many photos we've taken over the past few weeks, this one caught my eye. Upon closer inspection, I realized just how unlikely this moment was, for a number of reasons:
  • My two-week-old is asleep in a fairly rowdy playroom.
  • There are no toddlers jumping on me.
  • I appear to be (and actually am) well-rested.
So far, life with three kids ages three-and-under isn't so bad. It's a logistical challenge, to be sure. Grocery shopping and trips to Starbucks may never be the same. But I would agree with the moms who told me that the transition from two to three kids is far easier than the transition from one to two. Life with a newborn is going better than expected. It helps that Jacob has decided that the hours between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. are prime sleep hours. I never knew I could appreciate seven hours of uninterrupted sleep this much. I'm praying this trend continues.
