Today marks the first day that I am officially alone with the kiddos now that my mom has gone home and Kevin has used his "paternity leave." The day has gone well, besides the time that Jackson fell headfirst off the rocking chair while I was changing Kaitlyn's diaper and then the phone rang and it was Kevin, who wondered why both our babies were screaming! I just had to laugh so that I wouldn't cry. But really, I love these two little people and I'm glad I get to be their mom. While my mom was here, she took these pictures while I was snuggling with Kaitlyn.
In my last checkup before Kaitlyn was born, the Dr. told me this was the position she was in. Crazy to think that a week and a half earlier she fit inside me!

Hang in there! I agree- transitioning from one to two is much harder than just getting used to one. Its hard and heart wrenching at times but you'll figure out the right balance. Good luck! Oh and I love that last picture. So funny to think that's how she was.
You know if you need some help you can call me. You'd better take advantage since you will be leaving.I really can't believe she fit there since you are so tiny anyway. "}
Oh Jeanne! I remember my first day alone with two, AHHHHH! It seemed like everything ran so smoothly when my mom was here, and then BAM! Chaos! I wish I had done more laughing than crying! It will get better, I promise. Good luck!
The hardest thing is when both of them are crying for you at the same time, and you don't know who to help first!
Yeah, some days two are very hard to deal with! It does get better when the older one figures out that, yup, the baby is here to stay. :) You are a great mom. Hope things settle down for you over there. It took us a while (8 months!) but that is only cause Bekah had GERD and none of the Dr.s in Ca would do anything about it. She is a sweetie now. I am sure that When Kaitlyn gets a little older and you all get into a routine that you will wonder why you ever though it was tough! ;) Feel free to call if you ever need too! We will see if I am still sane after our third comes!
