2 under 2
Well today is my first day solo with the two girls. I was a little anxios last night... felt like the first day of school. I kept wondering if I could do it. The two weeks with Jake home full time was hard! But we are over halfway through the day and we are all still alive. Maybe there were some tears from all three of us before noon, but hey... we're women.
I'm a little amazed I have time to sit and blog right now. But I want to preserve my memories because I know this time will go by so quickly. So what if my sink is full of dishes? They will still be there when I'm done writing. :) Currently, Natalie is outside playing with chalk and riding in her car. Kate is sleeping on me wrapped up tight in my Moby Wrap. Marie gave this to me when Natalie was born and I used it occasionally with her. I think I'll be using it A LOT with Kate. She likes to be held. :)
So last night I didn't sleep for more than an hour at a time. Hence the tears this morning... just from exhaustion. But I was able to take a quick nap around 12:30. Then I made A LOT of coffee. It's gonna be my new bff.
I am still so much in AWE of how good Natalie is. I put her down early for a nap and she went down with out any complaints... and slept long!! Not sure if this is a result of my "sleep training" her early on or if she is just an incredibly compliant child. Either way, what a blessing she is! She doesn't seem to be bothered by Kate's crying either. She is concerned and wants to hold and kiss Kate to make her feel better. If only it were that easy! She gives it a good shot for about 20 seconds and then runs away when Kate is still wailing! pretty cute
We had such a wonderful two weeks with Jake home. I absolutely love watching him with the girls. He is so fun with Natalie... always making her giggle and squeal. And so careful and gentle with Kate. He was a super husband too- letting me go back to sleep while he got up every morning with Natalie. We miss him today! Not because of all he did, but because we like him so darn much. I told him he might come home to a bald wife tonight, and he said that was okay. What a guy.
