leap day

This day should be special I think.  It only comes once every four years - so I guess Teoman was born on a leap year.  My leap baby.

Tolga had to go the field today.  I am not alone, thankfully - things are going well, but it's too early to be on my own with the three little ones.  I wonder how it would go with four...  Maybe it's a good thing I had babies later in life - I think I'm totally addicted and if we started earlier, who knows how many we'd have by now.  Or maybe that's just my hormonal fluctuations.

Our nanny came today.  I love it when our nanny comes.  She gets paid today, and her raise - and her raise will be almost as much as my raise was - but she's one of those people you'd pay just about anything to keep - she is gentle and sweet, and her personality is reflected in the kids.  She cooks and cleans - I rarely tell her what to do - she just does everything and keeps me sane.  She feeds my in-laws, sends Gokhan to the market, tells me or my mother-in-law to rest, or gently suggests that Gokhan gets up... I love being on maternity leave AND having extra help around the house.  It's a great luxury.
