...man, things have been stressful. For the first week or two everything was perfect and all the stars were aligned in my favor. I figured all that practice from the first time around was really helping me out! I was super mom! It's week three now and things are starting to get a little hairy. Apparently I have to balance my time in a multitude of ways now. Ha!
Most of the time I seem to be fairly realistic, but I don't think I was allowing for anything but smooth sailing. More and more lately I am pretty high strung and in this house you have to be able to go with the flow, especially with little ones, right?!
Miss Alaina insists on being held. And once I set her down she lets me know she doesn't like that one bit. I guess I've ruined her already. ;) So in order to load laundry, straighten the kitchen, change the sheets, take a shower, anything, I have to listen to that little itty bitty voice cry. What a way to break a mama's heart. The good news is that Joseph doesn't cover his ears and scream too much anymore when he hears her crying. See? A positive! We're all getting used to it!
Aside from that and the rest of the usual...sleeping, eating, and pooping and spitting up on everything in the house every five minutes - we're A-OK! I know she is going to grow so fast and I'll say how I wish she would stay small forever, but a big ol part of me is ready to get past this infant stage. I'm getting some good practice in being flexible and also following my gut instinct when it comes to all these baby decision that have to be made.
By the way, does anyone know how to get these little guys to quit all that pooping right when you change them into a clean diaper. Really, if we could fix that one thing life would be a lot easier. Anyone? Anyone?

Oh boy, I remember those days...times two! Seriously, looking back I don't know how I survived. But I did, and you will too. Hang in there!
I know, I know, I should have some words of wisdom but am pretty much wordless. This too will pass.....and much too soon.
Hang in there sista - you can do it & it will pass before you know it. I hardly remember those stressful days. I think my left eye may have quite twitching and Cayden is almost 6 - see things get better :0)
Yep! I remember those days all too well ... poor Nathan had severe colic AND reflux and here I am about to have baby #2! It will all pass in time! And invest in a good carrier ... strap the baby to you to free your hands ... it will help! I promise!!!
Oh if you get a good answer as to how to keep them from pooping right after you put a clean diaper on.....please share with me. ; )
She's soooooo sweet Heather!! I can't wait to see her again!!!!
You will look back at this one very soon and chuckle. The time it takes to adjust is tough, but, gone very quickly. And I definitely think the lack of sleep makes it very physically AND emotionally draining!
You can do it, you totally got this, girl!
Oh my Heart! She is a doll!! What beautiful pictures... who cares about the poop, look at those sweet cheeks!! haha. i know, it's a lot to keep up with, but u get a free pass at everything else going on in life/the world for at least a year, right?? So just focus on keeping tooshies clean and mouths fed... u can worry about the rest later, it's not going anywhere! hugs to ya mama... : )
Oooh, I just LOVE that baby girl and these sweet pics!! Now, if that's not enough to make you forget all about poopy diapers - haha! Yes, these stressful days pass all too quickly, and I can happily and honestly say that is DOES get so much better AND easier!! You're doing amazing as a Mama of 2...but I'm always here for Happy Hour too when you need it ;)
