Mom of Two

Well, I'm a Mother of two kids now. 

With every child who joins the family, there are changes that come.

Here are some of my thoughts on two kids....so far.

 

 

The Great

 

-Having a boy and a girl. One of each is fun.

 

-Watching Paxton interact with his sister. It is so sweet. It makes me see him in a whole new light. He's a big brother now, and he's already acting like it. The other day another child was trying to touch Maebry in her car seat, and Paxton ran right over and protected her. He stood in between Maebry and his friend and told her, "No. No. Don't touch." He started patting Maebry saying, "It's ok." It seriously melted my heart. She is one lucky girl to have a big brother like him.

 

-Every day I feel so blessed to have two wonderful, healthy, beautiful children.

 

-I have two little people to dress up now :)

 

-Those quiet moments when it is just me and my kids, and I just feel SO much love.

 

-I pretty much always have someone to snuggle with!

 

-Watching my husband with another baby. He is such a sweet dad, and watching him make his little girl smile just reminds me of another reason why I love him.      

 

-Never a dull moment at our house.  

 

The Not As Great

 

-There's never a dull moment at our house. haha.

 

-When both kids are crying at the same time. I can't function when this is happening. I had to start a new rule with Paxton that he can't whine or cry when Maebry is crying.

 

-I can't give Paxton all the attention that he is used to getting. I know this is a normal part of life, but I have definitely shed some tears about it. It's hard when I'm in the room trying to get Maebry fed and to sleep, and Paxton comes in wanting to play. I have to tell him to leave when he's too loud, and sometimes it breaks my heart. He is used to getting all my attention and time, but now he has to share. It's hard for both of us. I know this issue will get better though as Maebry gets less needy. He will even have a built in playmate in her when she get's older. I'm looking forward to that.

 

-There are two different schedules to work around now. It's really hard to find time to do things I want to do. "Me time" is hard to come by.

 

-You have to keep one kid quiet while the other one sleeps. They take turns waking each other up.

 

-Unloading and loading two kids in and out of the car is a pain.

 



 

With all that being said, I am so over the top in love with our families' new addition. The moment I became a Mom, I just knew there was nothing else in the world I would rather be doing. I have grown and changed for the best in so many ways. I love spending my days with these two little people. It's not always perfect, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
