Today is day one at home alone with TWO children for me. I have to say...ever since Reagan was born (almost two weeks ago) I've been dreading this day. The day that my mother went home and the day that my husband went back to work. I even cried last night like a small child when my parents pulled away and headed for the airport. But the good news is that it hasn't been as bad as I expected it would be. Granted, it's been rather overwhelming--I'm having to find new ways to deal with Wyatt since I can't physically pick him up or play with him the way I'm used to (thanks c-section). And it seems that every time I become engaged with Wyatt, Reagan needs something...and every time I sit down to nurse Reagan, Wyatt decides it's time to run-a-muck through the house. Sigh.
I'm sure we'll all get used to this and get adjusted sooner or later. For now, it's nap time and I'm going to enjoy the quiet while I can...maybe Wyatt will sleep long enough that we won't have too long before Daddy gets home once he wakes up. Fingers crossed!

Hey Eden!
My kids are 18 months apart and I promise, it gets easier!! That first little while is always overwhelming but you will find your routine :) I'll be praying for you through it though... for rest and strength! And video's for Michael always helped a ton while I was nursing Joshua. I never thought I would be a video mom but they were lifesavers!! And napping when they both do, very helpful too :)
