Becoming a mother of two has been a thrilling and exhausting experience. I thought I was busy with one kid...what was I thinking!? The only reason my family has been fed and clean for the last month is because my mom is here...I'm not sure how I will survive once she leaves:( Luckily Autrey is a very good baby and so far Jackson really loves him, lots of hugs and kisses. Having a newborn and a 2 year old presents a lot of challenges...especially in the discipline department. Jackson is like most 2 year olds and into everything. Telling him to stop or leave something alone is not usually enough. I have to make him obey. This is a challenge while breastfeeding. It's also hard to have one on one time with Jackson when Autrey takes up so much of my time right now. I've made it a priority to try and spend quality time with Jackson everyday. This is another thing that will be more difficult once my mother leaves. Phillip's classes start next week, so the kids and I will be on our own a lot. Despite the challenges, becoming a family of 4 has been amazing.
Today I used my Moby Wrap for the first time to take Jackson to the playground. I have a feeling the Moby will be an everyday essential! Here are some photos from our little adventure today:)
Jackson is running around destroying things so that's it for now:)
You know I couldn't live without mine! Baby is happy and toddler is happy . . . which means mommy is happy! :) It is hard adjusting to two, huh? I thought I was going to die when my mom left after just 3 weeks! I guess we survived, huh? HA! Hoping this next week works out, I can't believe what a zoo it's been around here! Autrey will be walking before I see him!
ReplyDeleteI love your lounge pants! Build up the mom-at-home wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteThose are my favorite pants...they are actually yoga pants I bought when I was pregnant with Jackson. Perfect for the after baby body!
