Is way more intense than I ever thought it would be. I think I thought that the fact that I had twins made me think I could add one more into the mix without much change. HA! Having a newborn with two toddlers is no joke! I feel like there is always something to do for someone and nobody is getting 100% of me ever. Between work and kids there are days I feel like I barely have time to breath. I guess sometimes I feel like I'm really failing at this whole motherhood thing.
And then I realize I need to really ease up on the expectations I have for myself. Most days the kids seem happy, which isn't half bad since two year olds can be pretty fickle.
Anyway, we survived our first real illness. Both boys were sick for almost two weeks and right at the end me, Mr. W and baby K all caught it. I think we're all getting back to 100% finally.
Baby K is 11 weeks on Thursday and my hormones are all over the place. This happened with the boys too so I'm trying to be patient, but most days I feel like I need a good ole cry, but who has the time?
I know I'm incredibly lucky to have these little ones and these feelings are temporary. I just wish they would hit the road like yesterday.
Before I sign off to go do some real work, I thought I should post a few pic of of the kiddos. It's rare to get one of the boys sitting!
And miss K at two months

You are not failing in any way what so ever. All you can do is your best and believe me, it's good enough. Try to be patient with yourself {{{HUGS}}} Love the pics!!!
ReplyDelete*Hugs* It can be rough. I have 4 under 3 (twins twice) and days range from smooth, to darn rocky.
ReplyDeleteYou do your best and just keep *breathing* and things work out.
Cute pictures!
Between hormones and baby chaos, I'm sure it's overwhelming sometimes. Sometimes just getting through it all is the best you can do! And, it's enough!! Much love your way.
