That should make things interesting

A quick update on our health first. The older 3 kids are no longer snotty, just have slightly stuffed noses and occasionally cough. Yay. The end is near. The baby looks like he's feeling better. We were a little worried on Friday as he wasn't eating much, and therefor wasn't peeing much either, and he just didnt seem well. He also lost his "voice" which means when he cried, all he would do is squeak. Yesterday he started nursing better and just looked better. He also had some good awake time, whereas on Friday he slept all day. Today he's doing even better. He's already had some good awake time, he's eating like he used to and his wet diapers are much more frequent. He also is starting to get his voice back some, which is wonderful because you only get the newborn cry for so long and I miss hearing it.

Now to my blog topic. Having a new baby always make your schedule more interesting. Everything takes longer, to start. Constant interuptions, learning how to do it all one-handed or with a babt-strapped to you, etc. Well, DH just made it even more interesting by starting a new job with a new schedule. He'll still be working 2nd shift, but instead of going it at 3, he won't go in until 5, taking 2 hours out my already tight schedule. Yay. I'm thinking we'll move school time to the mornings while DH is still sleeping. I've been wanting to get a stricter morning schedule, for myself, in place anyways, so maybe this will force me to. Overall, this is a good job switch though. We'll have a little more money in our budget and DH likes this kind of cooking better. Oh, and he might end up on day shift, which wouldn't be so bad either :)
