My New Life as a Mommy of 2!

I knew life would change when our second child arrived, but I didn't realize how much! While things are very much the same, things are very different now also! A good different though! I'm stretched a little bit thinner than I was, and I don't get near as much sleep as before, but I have two adorable boys who love me and love each other and make me smile on a daily basis!

I really love the age difference they are now and I'm sure I'll love it even more later. Noah is old enough to be fairly independent and knows what I'm talking about when I explain to him that babies cry and Isaac needs help getting dressed, etc. but he's still young enough to want snuggles with mommy and need me to chase away the monsters in his closet. 

Isaac is such a good baby. He's such a snuggle bug! He only cries when he's hungry or his belly hurts, and he sleeps so well already! At 10 weeks old he is sleeping 7-8 hours almost every night! Naps are a bit of a challenge sometimes but he usually does well with those too. He is a very smiley and happy baby most of the time and for that I am so thankful! 

Splitting time between the two can be a challenge sometimes, especially when Brian is working and I'm all by myself. Sometimes one of them has to wait for a minute while I get the other food or change a diaper or something. Usually Noah is pretty good about waiting while I'm doing something for Isaac. When Isaac is napping sometimes I have to let the housework go so I can spend quality time with Noah. Sometimes that's hard because I think about all the things I need to get done like dishes and laundry, but quality time with my little guy is more important. 

So yes, there are some challenges to being a new mommy of 2, but just like being a mother or one or ten, there are so many rewards as well!
