Mother of Two

It has officially been one week of having two kids and all I can think about is how quickly time flies. It’s funny because making it to 40 weeks + 3 days was miserable. I wanted so badly to not be pregnant anymore yet now that I’m not, I miss the feeling of carrying around my girl and the every day anticipation of her arrival. Now that she’s here and we have both my 1.5 year old son and newborn daughter, my countdown turns into how long I have off until I return to work, and obviously that is a hell of a lot more depressing to think about.

So far, so good. I admit I’ve cried a few times from typical postpartum emotions, but nothing I’m concerned about. It’s a crazy transition going from one to two little ones and life now looks a lot different permanently. My husband and I have never been really big on “schedule” or “routine” but every day I see more and more of a need and a life adjustment that we will need to make to try and better manage our time [and sanity] and get the kids into a happy groove. I suppose I could use some routine in my life again. It will be important to make sure I carve out some time to be able to have “adult” time where I can get things done and ultimately spend time with my husband.

I am thirty years old and feeling mind blown that my hubby and I made two people. I hope to try and use this as a blog where I can keep track of my thoughts on managing two and how I’m personally doing in the sanity department. Let’s see how it goes!
