So, as I sit awake last night about 1am, I decided to start a blog. Maybe it was the lack of sleep, maybe it was reading Kathryn or Megan's blog but it seemed like a good idea.
See I was up at 1am holding my 3 week old daughter, Anna. She decided last night at 10:30pm to wake up - WIDE AWAKE - and stay up until 2:30am. This is NOT normal for her, so therefore it was NOT normal for me. I desperately need my sleep because I have to chase around an almost 2 year old son, Aiden, all day long. And he only takes one 1 hour nap which is not enough time for me to take one :( Right now, Anna is not on a schedule yet but decides that at soon as I put Aiden down, it's time for her to wake up and eat. Yea for being a mom of 2!
But really, I love it. Aiden is sometimes very helpful (taking diapers to the trashcan, bringing me burp cloths, etc) but he is a toddler. And does things only a toddler would do... like playing IN the trashcan while I'm otherwise occupied with a nursing baby. And he is also a very "sharing" big brother. He likes to give Anna books to read (although he covers her face with them...) and he likes to feed her his snacks (I've found chocolate on her lips already, yikes!). So I have to keep a VERY close eye on them both! Makes for a long, tiring, but ultimately rewarding day.
I'll blog more eventually but I felt like this was a good start!
Much Love!
