Our New Life

Two weeks ago today my husband and I were blessed to have our 2nd baby girl. Although this life change hasn't been quite the shock as our first child, it is still quite an adjustment!

I am learning the art of balancing my sanity with a personal life, marriage, toddler, and newborn. I am pleased to say that today is my second day completely alone with the two girls and things are going swimmingly! I even have both of them sleeping as I type. I know days will not always be like this, but here's to hoping!

Mom's Vacation

My mom is in town. She meant to be in town when the new baby was born, but apparently that idea hasn't worked out. The good thing is that she will be available 24/7 to watch my daughter if we do have the baby soon.

I love it when my mom is here because we have supper cooked for us every night (including desert!). She folds the laundry and occupies my little girl when I need a rest. She is a great companion for a stay-at-home mom who usually never gets adult interaction during the day.

Tonight we are having lasagna because it also freezes well. She's going to freeze the rest of the food we don't eat for when she leaves. Ahh, don't you just love moms!

Happy Independence Day!

Yes, it's the 4th of July, but that is the last thing on my mind. I am due tomorrow and I feel no sign of baby what so ever. I really expected this day to be spent laboring, in the hospital, or nursing a newborn. Now, I have to rethink all of our family activities. We weren't going to go to the fireworks tonight, but now we are. We weren't going to do anything too active today, but we've already gone to the splash pad, park, and city pool. Wow, this day is not going as planned! Although I want to go into labor, I am thankful that I got to spend this last 4th of July alone with my daughter. I will always remember the 4th of July before baby brother/sister was born.
