Busy is an understatement! Life with 2 little ones is hectic and crazy! Also a lot of fun and full of adventure! Sometimes they are both crying, hungry, and need to be held. Mostly Bailey is very patient and lets us do most things. She doesn't mind us just holding and cuddling McKenna. When I was pregnant I remember feeling sad that I wouldn't get to sit around and let McKenna cuddle on my chest but that is where she is at this very moment and Bailey is next to me too! I also sadly had to go back to work after only 4 weeks off. There is a reason mommas are supposed to stay home for at least 6 weeks and longer if possible. It's the sleep issue that is hard on me. I used to get my sleep from 5- 9:30 and Jared did Bailey first thing in the morning! Now I have to get up at 5 to get ready! The first night was awful but last night I got great sleep- 5 hours straight for the first stretch! I have been letting McKenna sleep with me because I was so desperate for sleep. Im not sure yet if I am going to regret it or love it! I never thought I would be a co-sleeping mom but it sure is nice having her right next to me! Sadly I still have never slept at night with Bailey. She was always such a great independent sleeper! With McKenna being my last it is kinda nice to get these extra long cuddles. She will only be this small once!!!
She's beautiful and I bet you are EXHAUSTED! I always thought I wouldn't be a co-sleeper mom either, but after actually being a parent and knowing how precious sleep is, I will do whatever it takes. LOL. :) Keep up the good work. Hope the summer comes fast for you!
