My latest adventure has been learning to juggle caring for both an infant and a toddler at the same time. Luckily I have a great husband who has been very helpful, so I was able to ease my way into it. And now that my daughter is *finally* sleeping through the night (a VERY recent and VERY welcome development) I now have the energy to do little extra things like this blog once again.
As I said earlier, people have left my life. One of which was someone I considered a dear friend whom I had known a really long time. Its still a little hard picturing the rest of my life without her, but she's made choices egged on by the company she keeps, so as sad as it makes me I have to respect her decision. In the end her decision has actually brought more peace to my life than despair, so I become less sad and more grateful for her choice everyday.
And as people leave, others enter. Most important of which, of course, has been my new baby girl. She is so beautiful that I still tear up just looking at her. She's such a happy, smiley baby (although her grandma calls her pickle puss for the sour faces she makes when she's fussing lol). My labor with her was intense, but quick, with no complications and very little pushing (both my kids came out after only ten minutes of pushing, something I'll always be grateful to them for). Also this time was much more intimate. At my son's birth my whole family and a few of my friends were all their and it looked like I was throwing a party in my delivery room, but this time it was just my mother, my sister, and my husband with me. I loved being able to just savor the moment, even while I begged the nurse for more pain meds and pushed the epidural button to the point of my thumb literally cramping up on me.
So now I'm just adjusting to life with my two beautiful babies. I remember that for a long time, because of a relationship I was in years ago, I thought I would never be able to have children. Now having carried, delivered, and loved these two amazing kids I can't imagine my life without them. And now with a lot of the negativity in my life gone, I can actually just focus on my sweet little babies and enjoy watching them grow up. Til next time readers!
