William is doing well. He is a good boy. He likes to eat - every 2 hours! Phew! That sure makes my nights fun. I have forgotten how tired not getting REM sleep can make you. I am trying to get him on a better schedule. It helps that we go to bed at a reasonable time. We will get it all worked out.

It is so weird having number 3. It seems so normal, so natural. I am glad of that. I also feel really good. After the first week I feel SO much better. I am going to start walking tomorrow. I am excited about that. I feel great. I have recovered so much faster this time it is amazing what the exercising during pregnancy did. I plan to be even better next time. My doctor has a 4 week recovery rule not 6 weeks - I am so excited for that! That means I have less than 2 weeks and I am allowed to go for it again. Hooray!

I remember with Sammi I was able to rest, relax and enjoy the new baby time. With number three I was not expecting that. Good thing. A few days after giving birth I had to take Sammi to and from school hauling all the kids up and down three flights of stairs. I am glad I stayed in shape so I could carry the carseat! Fun stuff. I was quickly back into the routine of things. Cleaning, cooking, rearranging furniture : ). I was tired in the beginning but I knew, and know, this time goes quickly and I will be at full strength again soon - I plan to be even better!

Charles took the kids for a run. William is with me. It is so quiet when they all go. I have been so grateful for the help that Charles has given me. He has been in finals but he has still been so helpful. Also, he is done! Today was his very last day of Law school - Hooray! It has gone by so quickly I can harldy believe it! 3 years gone and done just like that!

Well, I better go now. I hope you are all well. We will be blessing Will on Sunday - Mothers day. Also, we are going on a trip to Boise on Monday to find a place to live there - FUN! I am so excited to move. It is a great family place. I love moving and new places.

Lots of love!
