During my short abandonement of my little blog I gave birth to Harper Ellis a beautiful 8lb 5oz boy with wispy brown hair. The labor, once it kicked into gear, was 2 hours long and I pushed with all my might for 7 minutes (though it felt like 7 hours!)
The transition from one baby to two has been interesting. Some aspects have been much easier and others much harder. Though, the amount of love on can procure for two children is amazing, I didn't think I would be able to love another child as much as I love Finley-this was the easier part. The harder parts range from finding enough time to spend with each child, having enough arms to nurse one while the other needs: a hug, juice, snack, has a boo-boo,wants you to play choo-choo train, needs to use the potty, or is just plain screaming! I think you get the picture. It not easy to juggle the hectic daily tasks of life such as showering, eating, getting dressed, cooking etc. with two children who require a lot of you (while I'm typing Harper has woken up and currently really needs me...).
Time elapsed: 47 minutes Now typing one handed while nursing
Then when is there time for yourself-to be addressed in a future blog. Though no matter how hard it can be, how frustrated I can get and how close I sometimes getting to calling it quits I wouldn't trade it for the world. There is nothing that makes me feel more wonderful than the love I have gotten in return from my 2 boys...well I should really say 3 because I do have such a wonderful husband...even if I do want to trade him in for a housekeeper on an occasion!
