In short, my kids are amazing! I really didn't think have 2 kids would be so "easy". Don't get me wrong, I am REALLY tired and I get really frustrated and get irritated easily, but Taya has really adapted to being a big sister and for the most part is content to love on Rory a little, then leave him alone. Having my mom here for a month was truly a blessing and she helped me ease into being a mother of 2. Ethan has also been very understanding and has taken on the role of Taya's "primary caretaker" when I'm busy feeding Rory. We have just adapted to a new routine around here and so far it's going well. Our next big transition will be when I return to work; I still haven't decided when that will be yet.
Rory is such a sweetheart. For those of you who know me well, I really didn't know if I could "have" a boy, you know, with their boy parts, but I love having a son. Taya is so special because she's my little girl and she made me a mom, but having a son is just different. I was talking to him the other day, just a little baby-talk about nothing, and he smiled at me 3 different times. I thought the first one was a gas smile, but then he did it again and I thought it must be legitimate. He also rarely cries and he loves to cuddle. I try not to hold him ALL the time, but he's just so good that it makes me want to cuddle him.
I survived my first day home alone with both kids on Friday and even ventured out for a playdate. I was really ready for Ethan to get home from work that day, but we made it to bedtime and nobody got hurt, so I consider it a successful day :). To all you moms out there, God bless you. Have a good week, everyone!
