2 Kids...what was I thinking???
Well, certainly not much at the time. Getting pregnant wasn't on my agenda for another few years. In hindsight, I think the timing now is better so the girls will be closer in age. Just not sure how people do it??? I've had a TON of help this passed month but I'm still tired as ever. It's the only complaint I have. Middle of the night feedings, miles of spit up, and green poop...temper tantrums, frustrating mealtimes and "trying" to potty train. All these I can handle...but handle much better with the right amount of sleep.
Monday is my first outting with both girls by myself. E has an ENT re-check. I'm scared as heck that it will be a disaster. E screaming for my attention while L is wailing for a bottle. Dear God, please make it manageable. Most times I try scheduling appts. around the girls but specialist appts. aren't scheduled by me. Monday night and Tuesday night I booked appts. for me after DH & MIL get home from work. I also decided to go back to Curves which will have to happen in the evenings. Maybe I'll fit that in for Wed. I think it's really impt for me to get out as much as possible for me time...so I won't go bonkers. I also would like to make some trips out with L while E's in daycare. Just time to get out and go through the mall with a stroller (since the weather's so miserable). Must get DH to bring the stroller in from the garage and fix the seats in the van.
This wknd I'm going to bank up on the rest and hope for smooth sailing next week. Wish me luck!

Best of luck to you! Think positive! However, I know exactly where you're coming from. I've been there and b/c it's mostly me with the kids I've *had* to take two with me. I've walked out of store with screaming kids under my arm and another one in tears in two. B is the tough one, sim stage to what you describe with E. In her case, the terrible three's but she is getting better so there is light at the end of the tunel. Hopefully E will be rested, fed and in good temperment and L will sleep - well, like a baby ;) As for sleep, I'm still, looking for the answer to that 5 years later. If/when you figure it out, lemme know ;)
Honey, we've all been there. And you'll work out a routine. Any time you want an outing, come on over!!! We should plan some days to get together for sure!!
