Slacker Mom

Yeah, I know...I'm a slacker! It's taking some getting used to having a newborn again. This month's been busy too. Kiera was blessed by her daddy and Uncles Donnie and Carter. We also got a big suprise from Utah! Auntie Ginger came to see us along with Grandma. and once we got the house to ourselves Jess had to go to World Work Place in Atlanta. That left me at home with the two babies. We spent some of the time at the homestead in A-dale, and the rest of the time in C-town w/ Nana. Then I started back at work. It sooooo did not feel like it had been six weeks. Lil' Punkin-doodle has been growing like a weed and gaining tons of weight. We'll find out exactly how much next week at her checkup, but I'm guessing she weighs at least 10 pounds, judging on how fast she's outgrown everything!

Big Sissy Sydney is loving every minute of her baby sister. I have to watch her like a hawk though. She thinks Kiera is a baby doll and will try to play with her, resulting in a screaming baby and upset Syd. She's starting to have more tantrums, and has started randomly destroying things. Jess and I have tried to give her more attention, but this only works if we can both give her all of our attention at the same time. It's also suddenly turned cold here, which severely limits outside playtime. We figure she's just bored, and misses all of that undivided attention she's been used to getting.

No, you are not a slacker. You just now know what being a mother of two is like.
You'll get the hang of it, I promise you will find balance.
It is hard. I know you can do it.
It takes time, remember time is key.

You have such beautiful girls.
You have a wonderful family.
