The Adjustment to two Kids

I've made it a month and a half with two kids. Only 2 weeks at it alone during the days. Whew. Luckily the madness has slowed down. The sleeping is starting to come a little more often. The fatigue is lifting. And I am loving it. For a while I wasn't sure I would. But did I say, I am loving it. Motherhood is a wonderful thing. I think it has helped I started having a night out, coaching a women's training program. By the end of the evening I am missing the family so much and can't wait to see everyones smiling faces in the morning.

Yes there are days I'd rather be sitting in a office chair. Like the times when everyone thinks naps are optional and get overtired. But most days I realized I am the happiest person in the world and wouldn't want to be doing anything else. I love having the ability to be intimately involved in my children's lives.

Thanks Geoff for supporting me and the kids. Love you and everything you do for me and us.

P.S.
Samantha slept her first full night at 6 weeks old! 8 hours in a row. Too bad Miles woke me up in the middle of the night because he had fallen out of his bed! Poor guy. It was his fourth night in his big boy room, with a twin mattress on the floor and no railings. I guess you just have to learn some things the hard way! Besides falling out, he loves his new bed and the ability to get in and out of it on his own.

Us Together

It isn't quite our Anniversary but we headed out to Middleburg this past weekend to where we got married. It was so nice. We walked around with the kiddos and took a photo where we do every year in case we didn't make it back. So here is our early three year anniversary picture. :) We tried to include the kids in the background for one of them.

The Kids

Can you resign after 1 1/2 days on the job?

So can you resign after 1 1/2 days on the job by yourself? I am finally alone with the two kids after my parents leaving yesterday morning and the thought of resigning has crossed my mind (although I would never do it). I have dealt with more poop in a 1 1/2 day period then I thought possible.

Let's see... yesterday. If it wasn't enough to have a dog with the runs, I had a newborn with a major diaper explosion. During the diaper explosion I was on a call with her in my lap. By the time I was off the phone there was a mess everywhere. Lets just say an emergency bath was required and a change of clothes for BOTH of us. At the same time this was occurring the timer in the kitchen went off. So full on mess and baby in hand I dashed down the stairs to ensure I didn't burn dinner. By the end of it I have a toddler on my leg whining for attention, a baby crying and me trying to quickly wash an outfit out and clean up after a dog.

Today... new day, same thing. Dog makes a mess on the carpet, baby has an explosion while holding her. Plus two emergency feeds. (Don't know what an emergency feed is? Read on.) One while I was attempting to make an omelet for me and Miles. Baby crying, omelet in progress with hungry toddler in high chair. Which do you deal with? The second while walking back home with hungry toddler and baby. Solution...who knew you could breastfeed a baby in a carrier while cooking or walking.

Well that is only the start of the challenges these last two days but I must use my limited quite time to get some work done. The big question is what will tomorrow look like...
