My 1st day as a Mom of 2



Yesterday was my first official day as a Mom of 2! I know, I know....Shae' was 1 month old yesterday...haven't I been a Mom of 2 for a month already? Well, yes...but with a few extra hands around the house every day for that month. Having my Mom here (and my brother...he was a huge help too!) made life SO easy for the last month. Baby crying? No problem..."Mother? Can you get the baby?" Carter needs lunch? "Mother? Can you fix Carter's lunch?" And even in the night...baby crying and won't settle down? I would just call my Mom and she would come and take her so I could go back to bed. Awesome, huh? Yeah.....SO that's why yesterday was the day I was dreading ALL month long! My family left on Saturday, but I had Tom here Saturday and Sunday to help with Carter. Yesterday was the 'real test'. Me. Alone. Both kids. No help. And you know what? I survived! HA. And it wasn't near as bad as I had imagined! I know there will be some bad days ahead....and don't get me wrong, yesterday was not completely hiccup free, but everyone managed to stay fed, dry and happy (for the most part!) I even managed to do a light cleaning in the house AND take a shower all before lunch! Anyway....enough already! The pictures above were taken yesterday. As I sit here typing, I'm looking at my sweet babies playing in the floor (ok, well Shae' is just laying in her bouncer looking around) and thinking how truly blessed I am! <3<3<3
