Being a mom of two is NO joke!

:-)

Wow. I am loving life with our new family of four but seriously....having two kids is no joke! I knew it would be hard and our DD was only born 5 days ago but holy cow. Evan is doing great in his role as big brother but it's only a matter of time before he completely squashes her head or kicks her in the head as he catapults himself next to me while I am nursing her on the couch. I am amazed when I think back to how "easy" life was as a mom of just a newborn. All the on-line shopping I could handle as I nursed him on the couch and surfed on my lap-top. I'm in serious e-mail withdrawl right now and was so happy that I could hop on tonight!

No real point to my post but all of you soon-to-be-moms of two - it's going to be awesome! Everything everyone ever said about loving #2 just as much as #1 and having them fit right into your family is right on. It's just awesome. Life is good!

  • I often wonder how a second born survives the first year.  LOL  I hear you loud and clear.  I'm just waiting for the day that Audrey says "shut up kayleigh!"

  • I know!  Now that I have two, I wonder why I ever felt so busy with just one.  You get used to it though, just like anything else.  Congrats!

  • Congrats on your little one!  And ditto on it being no joke!  I've lost count of how many times I've heard "Mama, make Baby Soapy stop it!"  I'm still holding on to the hope that one day soon they are going to love each other!
  • For sure, but TOTALLY worth it.

    And, yes, how did I ever think I was busy with just 1?
