Also, I've had some delayed grief with my mom passing away. I think being pregnant distracted me some and after we were settled in at home with Olivia, it hit me pretty hard that she really is gone. When I'm frustrated with my day, the first person I think of is her and I just lose it. I no longer have her to call or up and leave the house to visit anymore. I really miss her.
Olivia is 6 weeks old today, which is hard to believe! I'm hoping things get easier soon and I'm sure they will. I am completely in love with both my kids and I'm so thankful for them.
Any advice from my blog readers with 2+ kids is welcomed with open ears! Ha..

She is so stinkin cute! Hopefully things will get easier soon than later. If you do want some help please give me a call, I am more than willing to help out in any way. And Mama P will always be watching down on you! *HUGS*
Your kids are just beautiful! I'm sorry the overwhelming grief of losing your mama is hitting you again. :( I can only imagine how hard that must be. Hugs to you.
As far as two kids go, it will definitely get easier! In fact, you'll eventually find yourself in such a fun groove, with your two kiddos becoming great friends, and running errands with you, and becoming "big people". I think anytime you add another baby, it's tricky at first. The sleep deprivation, and high expectations for ourselves, and postpartum emotions... they make you wonder if your life will EVER be normal again? (I've been wondering this all week long...) :) And it will!
Congrats again on your little beauty!
I appreciate your honesty Nicole. Sometimes when I read blogs I think "is their life/kids/husband seriously THAT perfect?" and wonder what I'm doing wrong. So just know you're not the only one, it's hard a lot of the time. Aren't you glad they are so cute. Luckily by now I realize most things come in phases so I try to remind myself that whatever annoying phase we're in will soon be replaced by another (scared of the dark, door slamming, snotty comebacks when I tell them to do something..."
