Having to take care of three little ones has been quite the adjustment. Coming home from the hospital I had Nub Nub here to help for a few days. When she left, and my mom came up for two weeks. Then for the following 2 weekends my mom and dad would come up to help. So it was almost a full month before I had to take care of everything all by myself.
I'm still trying to get the hang of things, and keep things under control. Since there's a lot of photos, and really no need to explain lots. Here is a photo dump of the past month's worth, excluding birthday celebrations.

| Showing him love by giving him all her blankets, baby dolls and other items. |
 |
| Getting some extra ZZzzZzz's in |
 |
| Nub Nub's heaven |
 |
| We had a video chat with family, and Dexter wanted to wear the headpiece |
 |
| Flynn looked so peaceful in Nub Nub's arms |
 |
| Ellie wanted to hold him too...for like 30 seconds |
 |
| Dexter and Ellie, got lots of outings with GG |
 |
| Just chilling |
 |
| Swing time! |
 |
| I loved how everyone was crowding around dad |
 |
| His first outing! |
 |
| We went to the park |
 |
| In his blonde hair, he had a platinum blonde chunk |
 |
| Quiet Sunday naps for us |
 |
| Happy pioneer day! |
 |
| They weren't thrilled by them, but did enjoy them a bit |
 |
| Evenings on our playground |
 |
| GG pushing the kids on swings at a new playground |
 |
| The head slumps |
 |
| Ellie will come up behind you on the couch, and asked to be squished. Over, and over, and over, and over. |
 |
| Puddle jumping |
 |
| It is officially finished with all the railings on! |
I finished setting up the nursery! Here's a few photos of what it looks like.
 |
| Overall view |
 |
| I got the beautiful Christ and baby picture as a gift, and I hung it over the crib. |
 |
| The ABC's were a gift from Ellie, but I never got around to hanging them up until now |
 |
| Morning wakeup, even Flynn's head made the shot |
 |
| Went shopping with my Mom and sister at IKEA. Trying out the kid furniture. |
 |
| We were cleaning up the basement and the kids found the TARDIS costume. It was played with by them for many days after. |
 |
| We're always finding different baby dolls in Flynn's spots: swing, bouncer, car seat, etc. |
 |
| Dexter's favorite way to play in the TARDIS, pop and tuck inside it like a boxtroll |
 |
| I was brave and took all the kids to a store by myself! |
 |
| BABY SMILES!! |
 |
| Just chilling...again. |
 |
| He fell asleep on the floor, and just had the cutest positions while sleeping |
I kind of feel bad because we really didn't play much in water this summer. Being pregnant didn't make me want to exert that energy to set things up in the extra hot feeling summer. Then recovering and always feeding a baby didn't give me time after. So the summer just kept slipping away. One day I got Flynn asleep, so I quickly set up a sprinkler and the kids had lots of fun playing in it.

| Playing peek-a-boo with the towels |
 |
| He's the one who showed her how |
