NOT! At least not when it comes to raising children aged 1 month and 2 years. Everyone told me that having 2 kids is more than twice the work and now I know that to be true. In my new role as mother of two I learn something new everyday. I find it is a "2 steps forward, 1 step back" kind of process. I get more patient with more practice, I know what to expect more than 3 weeks ago, and I'm slowly getting more sleep. I want to keep blogging but I usually just like to zone out at night for a couple hours with Jake and that usually does not involve my computer. So I'll post some highlights since last time!
#1- My baby Dylan turned 2 on 10/17/11. To say time went by quickly is a massive understatement. It flew by and I am so glad to be getting so much time with him now. He is talking up a storm and we have small conversations. He is absolutely hilarious and I love almost every minute with him. Most of the time he is so well behaved at home with me and I am so blessed. He loves his new birthday toys, mostly his train table and train set. He is eating better these days but still picky, and he is a great sleeper both at night and at nap time. My upcoming goals for him are losing the paci for sleep, otherwise he doesn't care about it, and eventually potty training! I know he will do great though, he is a fast learner!
#2 - Leo is already 5 weeks old and getting so big! He is a very sweet baby but of course has his fussy moments. I remind myself that I cannot tend to every cry within a split second like I could with Dylan because I am busier, so like me my children are practicing patience and Leo does pretty good. He is sleeping better at night, getting up about 130, and 5, and then its anyones guess how much more he will sleep in the am. I always try to get to about 730am....I still love the newborn stage of cuddling and looking at Dylan I know how fast it will all change.
#3 - I have my 6 week postpartum appointment next week and look forward to working out again - but who knows when I'll have time. I know I'll figure it out eventually. I enjoy working out and its my sanity saver. I don't miss being pregnant, physically I feel very well and recovered and enjoying my old wardrobe. To say my body looks the same as it did 2 years ago before kids...well I don't know, but I am embracing it.
#4 - I am trying out a few mommy groups so me and the boys can socialize. I am nervous and excited and will update on all of it soon! Tomorrow is my first go at it!
#5 - I'm still tired.
That is all for now, I want to be better at blogging so I have a journal of my adventures and the boys but I'll take it one week at a time! Night!!
