My Days...

So here it is, 25 days in to being a Mom of 2, and while they are sleeping I am blogging instead of napping myself. But they are such cute kids, I gotta share them!
Here are some pics of Kaeden and Kai from the last month...

Napping together on the couch


Already independent :-)


Always one hand poking out


Trying to figure out this potty thing...


I helped make it in this, I wanna eat out of this...





Gotta be talkin' to all my peeps




Having two has been a lot harder and a lot better than I ever imagined. Hard because I have two that need attention, are demanding, are crying and the diapers...holy cow! (note to self - DO NOT have another kid until the first two are POTTY TRAINED :-) Better because I have two that love to play with me, be held by me, kiss me, need me.

I have run through all emotions imaginable - frustrated and tired at 3 in the morning, 4 in the morning, 5 in the morning :-) like a blob cuz I'm constantly on the couch nursing, like a horrible mother cuz one is crying while the other gets my attention, horribly irritated and upset that Kevin gets to sleep through the night, ashamed that I think that of my husband cuz I know he needs the sleep for work while I can nap the next day, angry cuz my tummy isn't healed yet and stupid things like bending over still give me trouble, dirty cuz my house is dirty since I still can't bend over to pick things up, wonderful cuz Kaeden loves to give me kisses and help with his brother, loved cuz Kaeden and Kai love to cuddle in my lap to go to sleep at night, giddy cuz Kevin calls me when he gets bored at work and gives long hugs when he finally gets to come home at the end of the day, grateful to all my friends who help by having Kaeden over to play, happy when Kaeden pulls me by my pointer finger out to the swing so I can push him, blessed when I look at all my boys together and see how happy we are, no matter what the house looks like or that I've not showered in 2 days.

Okay, long paragraph, but that's the gist of this last month. It has been hard, but now that I'm getting used to new schedules and catching up on sleep it's starting to be fun. I'm so glad I've got such great boys.

Oh girl! I can remember every single one of those emotions after I had Lincoln. Totally normal :) You have two very handsome little boys!

Hang in there. Now that my two oldest play together everyday, it is awsome to have them close together. They call each other best buddies. Having boys is the BEST!

Oh I am sure it will get better, but in the mean time Kaeden needs to come play! :) I love the second picture of Kaeden talking on the phone, soooo cute!
