These are the days that matter..Watching your children enjoy the day after a blizzard, or celebrating your newborn son enjoy his crib for the first time..THIS IS WHAT MATTERS.
Challenging..That is what my life has been for the past few weeks..Whoever says parenting is easy is not telling the whole truth..It is the BEST thing that will ever happen to you, it is the BEST feeling a women will ever feel, and yes..it IS a dream come true..It is wonderful, and there is nothing I would ever trade it in for..but it IS challenging.
Bedtime schedules have fallen off the wagon since Owen's birth, with hospital stays ect., who would not expect this. Jealousy has also been a HUGE factor as far as Olyvia goes, and again totally expected. Olyvia and Emma fight for my attention more then ever, and it always seems to be when Owen is crying out for his bottle or a diaper change..Sadly, Olyvia will often ask me to put Owen down and spend time with her..Guilt, you ask? Immensely so..
Daily I try and wear as many hats as I can, but I struggle with the guilt of not spending enough one on one time with each of my children, as well as my husband..Whenever I begin to feel overwhelmed I simply look at who occupies my house and I breathe again..This is why I do it, for them...and aren't they worth it!
