I ain't gonna lie

...two is hard.
Hard work, that is.
I start off the day (earlyyyy) with a bunch of energy.
Coffee and I have never been close. We are now BFF.
At the end of the day, I'm tired and on edge.
Doesn't help we are ALL getting thru colds.
But when I look at the sweet face of my 4 week old girl,
or now get a "I love you, mama" from my precious 26 month old,
I thank God and ask him to do it all over again tomorrow.

Then I fall asleep hard.

Not sure I would have it any other way.

Being a mom is the hardest & the most wonderful thing you can do with your life! That's why I did it 4 times over. Enjoy every minute! Love you...

So so true... so true.

Your girls are BEAUTIFUL. I was cracking up tonight watching the Weekday Christmas program. That Bella of yours doesn't sit still! I think she and my Amelia might be friends one day.

Most folks start drinking tons of coffee in college, but I've never drank so much in all my life! I don't even know if it does anything now! Farrah does not even look real - she looks like a doll!

Hang in there!

Makes me tear up reading that,Katie. You are so right. I only have one but I know that keeping up with just him takes every ounce of my energy. I'm sending you good thoughts right now for a great day tomorrow, super mom! :)

Oh, how I remember how difficult it was to take care of both Phenix kids when Joy went back to work after Josh was born. It's literally TWICE as hard, and I got to leave at 5pm. But, it doesn't stay this hard for too long. Promise!
By the way, I almost couldn't tell the difference between the pics of Bella and Farrah at the same age. They look so much alike to me! Congrats on your beautiful, sweet baby girls!!
