Everyone said it was harder going from one child to two, then zero to one. I couldn't agree more! Connor had all the attention and now has to share it. Ryland doesn't understand how to wait, when he's hungry, he's hungry right now and I have to feed him at that moment. Connor's done pretty well overall he just needs more mommy and daddy time that just isn't there.
Along with going from 1 to 2 kids is more laundry. We decided to do cloth diapers, which I love but man at the laundry. I have a load I need to wash right now actually. I kinda went over board buying at first so Ryland has a good amount so I can skip a few days, but soon I will have to wash every 2 days or poor kid won't have any diapers.
And potty training, well that's just a disaster right now. He has really good days and really bad days. Like this week, both Monday and Tuesday when I picked him up he was in different pants than I dropped him off in. His regular teacher was out sick so I think that was the problem, but on the other hand sometimes I think he just doesn't go to the potty to get attention. Because in that moment when we're talking about not going in his Pull-Up all eyes are on him and he enjoys it.
Am I happy? Yes. Am I tied? OH YES! Stressed? More than you'll ever know. Would I change a thing? Probably not!

Amen sister. Amen.
You are awesome, by the way. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Even when you aren't feeling awesome, I'm feeling it for you.
Mwah.
Wait until you have three! Whew!
I think 4 months old is the kicker... we didn't feel "normal" again until Lily was 4 mos old. Of course two weeks later I found out I was pregnant and that went out the window.
Now that Robbie is almost 4 months old, I'm feelin' the groove.
Slowly but surely.
