3 weeks.
It's been 3 weeks since we became a family of four. We're settled in now and taking things one day at a time. Lots of people have been asking a series of questions lately and I thought I'd answer them here so I can remember how we felt during this time.
1) What is life life with two kids?
Crazy, wonderful, chaotic, fun. Those are the words I would use to describe our life right now. In some ways, we're more predictable. At 5:15 p.m I'm cooking dinner - at 6:00, if it's warm, we are loading up for a walk around the block - at 8:00 we're getting ready for bath and bed times. In other ways, it's more chaotic. For example - we set down to dinner the other night and had 10 minutes of quiet before Sam had thrown up and Reagan was screaming. We're learning to go with the flow.
2) How is having Reagan different from Sam?
When Sam was born, Scott held him in the hospital whispered that he loved him in his ear and I fell in love with my husband all over again. It was instant and overwhelming. In that moment every reason why I'd married this man ran through my mind. It felt good. With Reagan, he held her in the hospital and I thought - how sweet, but no rush of emotions. BUT - the night when when I was ready to pass out from exhaustion and he offered to wake me when it was time for her feeding - it happened. This leads to the next question...
3)What is the one thing you couldn't not live without?
Take my play pens, fancy bottle warmer...heck...take my diapers. I could do it without all of those things. But you try to take my husband out of the picture and I'll fight you to the death. I'm not joking. I'll fight you to the death. :) I need him. He needs me. We're safer now. I never forget my seat belt - he wears a life jacket in boats. We need each other. I can't imagine doing this along. I don't want to imagine that. Ok, now I'm shaking.
4) How are girls different from boys?
I'll get back to you on this one. Besides the fact that Reagan has peed on me more than Sam did - I can't tell yet. She's so sweet. Her features are so delicate. I imagine how our play will be different when she's older.
Ok - more q&a later. It's almost 6 and we're due for a walk around the block!!!:)
