I know how heart breaking it is to hear your kid cry and you're doing everything you can and it does nothing. And it goes on and on. But I don't know how it is with two of them. <br /><br />You are fantastic. And you keep taking those "bathroom" breaks whenever you need so you can come back a new. Even if it is only for 2 and a half minutes. Just take another one. <br /><br />I love you. And I miss you. And I love your pillow. And the way G poops. <br /><br />You are in my prayers. And I think about you, too. Call me if ever you need/want to. Or don't want to. Call me anyway and I listen really well. And I'll call you, too. But you have to answer :)Whitney Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076894476570457181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325062953132037200.post-50390174589276651622011-02-03T11:16:37.543-08:002011-02-03T11:16:37.543-08:00I love your posts, they are so honest and freakin ...I love your posts, they are so honest and freakin hilarious! Not that I'm laughing at you. I have felt the way you feel so many times and yet here I am expecting my 4th, so I guess I have lost my mind :) Oliver is a gem. I love all that hair he has. It is so hard adjusting from 1 to 2 kids. I think that was the hardest for me too. I PROMISE you it does get better. You find what works and what doesn't and my biggest advice is DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP. Each day is a "do-over" and your kids will not be scarred. You are a great mom, you can see how much love you have for them in your pics. One day at a time girl!<br />~MandyABBOTTLANDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400750014226647206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325062953132037200.post-59682944662923320982011-02-02T12:05:38.811-08:002011-02-02T12:05:38.811-08:00congratulations on the birth of your son; he's...congratulations on the birth of your son; he's gorgeous and hang in there! i'm getting ready to experience the "holy freaking two kids" thing in a few weeks and i am still amazed at how i get overwhelmed with just one 2 year old a lot of the time, so i am a bit in denial about being hit by that bus you speak of VERY soon. <br /><br />my first has never been a great nighttime sleeper, so i'm hoping i won't be so in shock this time around. i remember saying to my mom who was visiting, "i just want to kill myself." every single night when my daughter would wake up and cry for at least an hour before she fell back asleep. my mom was definitely questioning how serious i was on a few of those nights. <br /><br />all i can say is that us moms have your back and think you're doing a great job. and i do yoga with layne almost every day, it's actually amazing how even the easiest routine and seeing her little butt doing downward dog can restore some sanity and clarity into a day.<br /><br />ok, off to shower for the first time in 48 hours and i don't even have a newborn to use as an excuse for that! <br /><br />take care!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975860454500415380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325062953132037200.post-82753796511810180532011-02-01T19:31:45.364-08:002011-02-01T19:31:45.364-08:00I love you so much and truly miss you!!! I love t...I love you so much and truly miss you!!! I love that you wear your emotions on your sleeves and really say how you feel. My second was a real adjustment for me as well!!! I remember while I was at the hospital they reminded me to fed her every two hours. I thought to myself "well, thats not right...I just did this 18 months ago...that nurse doesn't know what she is talking about....that is all that I would do all day." Needless to say I was soon brought back to reality. I too did the 2 kids in diapers for awhile. Try to fit 20 diaper changes into feeding a baby every two hours and it does equal insanity. There is nothing better in the world...yet few things harder at times!!!<br />At times I would literally stop dead in my tracks and remind myself that this to is just a stage and my life will get back to normal someday.....and it does but only better!!!!!!! I know that you know all of this...just like I did. Just remember to breath and take breaks when needed. Luke was working late last week and I couldn't wait until bedtime before I got a moment. So, I locked myself in my room for five minutes while Teagan had her fingers under the door crying "momma momma". Then all was fine with the world again. Hang in there....love you!!!!!!Nikki https://www.blogger.com/profile/15102075421731574887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325062953132037200.post-76848401713515573002011-02-01T13:07:44.428-08:002011-02-01T13:07:44.428-08:00Alexis, how I've missed you. My children drive...Alexis, how I've missed you. My children drive me efffffffffffing insane on a daily basis. Michael walks around either shrieking at the top of his lungs or he's screaming 'MINEEEEEEEE!' [because he refuses to talk and say anything else but MINE, HI, BYE BYE, DADA, and MAMA. That's it] Because he doesn't talk, he gets pissed that we can't understand him and the screaming and shrieking escalate. Ellie on the other hand, is in a stage where she doesn't share a flipping BIT and is very whiny. This morning, I got up early, fed the kids breakfast and took them to the childrens gym at LVAC because they love it. After, I came home, showered, fed them a snack and headed to the Shark Reef. We had to leave 15 mins into it because Michael was throwing a tantrum because Ellie wouldn't share her doll stroller. My mom and dad both call me after all of my exacerbated blog and facebook posts just to make sure I haven't shoved my children out the front door [oh I've thought about it]. As for locking yourself in the bathroom, I lock myself in the bathroom AND the laundry room to get away from the screaming. I swear Michael turns it on full blast as soon as the phone rings. Little bastard. I should probably erase that, but I'm not going to. Anyway, know that you. are. not. alone.
