One of our precious children woke an hour and a half early this morning...and then went back to sleep. I decided to stay up. And how sweet this time has been! I drank a full cup of coffee before it got cold. I reviewed my day, my week, my chore schedule. I unloaded the dishwasher without any help from 2 year old hands! I sat with LOML while he ate his cereal, and rather than Curious George, we watched the news.
I probably would have benefited from that hour and a half more of rest, but I think my heart needed the quiet of the morning. God's mercies. I needed to soak in those disguised blessings that came only from being woken before I had planned. Here's to seeking His gifts in the middle of the chaos.

Going from 1 kid at home to 2 ROCKED my world. Really rocked it. I thought it would be an easier transition and it was hard. My littlest is now 19 months and I can still remember those first few months vividly. My biggest was TOUGH and not making things easier but eventually he came back..I thought I had lost my sweet, precious 21 month old but he came back as a sweet, precious big brother. It just took time. You are doing a great job. Celebrate the small victories and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Soon you will hear your 2 precious daughters giggling and laughing together and it will make those first few months seem like forever ago. Love to you and your precious family. I am here if you ever need to talk, vent, or be encouraged.
That early morning time is good for the soul..amen! And I treasure the time that I drink hot coffee instead of luke warm or microwaved back to hot! I so appreciate your openness and transparency. I know it will be refreshing to look back on your blog and others like you when I have 2 kiddos and need to be reminded that others have traveled this road and made it through! Hang in there!
Amen!!
I don't think you've been complaining at all. I think you're just sharing life, just as it is, with two babies. And I always love your candor.
Your girl is so beautiful. And I promise, it gets easier! Hang in there! And your new header looks great!
I meant to comment earlier and congratulate you on your new little girl! I agree with the commenter above that it doesn't sound like you've been complaining at all, just sharing the changes and challenges that your family is going through. In fact, thanks for being open and honest in doing so!
