Yes, I've been gone awhile. And yes, I have a good excuse. π
Greg and I have been adjusting to the awesomeness and chaos that is having 2 boys under 2. Daniel was born a week ago last night, and we couldn't be happier with how everything is working out so far. πππ
Let's talk about little feisty Daniel. In addition to being a very chill and relaxed baby who sleeps well (so far -- knock on wood!!), he is also a championship latcher and nurser. He would happily stay on my boob all day if I let him. I had issues nursing Will, so this is a huge relief. Dan is also extremely alert and curious, constantly taking in the world around him when not sleeping, eating, or popping. Unlike his brother, pooping is no issue. Allelujah!!π©π©π©
And thankfully, for the most part, Will is adjusting beautifully. He calls Dan "Baby Daniel" and often verbalizes who his family members are: Mommy, Dada, William, Baby Daniel, and doggie. How sweet is that?! π He had a meltdown tonight from being overstimulated but loves still going to school every day and having my parents here (They arrived Monday night). πΆπ»πΆπ»
We are quickly getting into a routine with both boys, and Greg could not be a better or more hands-on father. ππΌππΌππΌ I have barely changed a diaper yet! It has been a beautiful emotional roller coaster. We couldn't be happier and feel beyond blessed to have both of these precious boys in our lives. What an enormous gift! πππ
I even got out of the house today to drive to my weekly talk therapy session and get Panera for lunch, which felt amazing. I may have overdone it with a long walk today, so I will get more rest tomorrow. π€π€
Parenting is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done, but I still look forward to having the privilege of doing it every single day. I may be an outnumbered #boymom, but I wouldn't have it any other way. π¨π©π¦π¦
I promise to share my eventful birth story with you all soon too!π
