Life with two

It has been a month since Gabe came into our lives. I was so excited about having #2. I thought this is going to be so easy. No first time worries- are they breathing, getting enough food, sleeping etc. Well what I didn't realize is now I have two kids I am responsible for taking care of. One wants me to play and one wants me to feed him. I forgot that I couldn't be in two places at once. All these years I see parents with more then one child and they made it look so easy. I wish I would have asked them if it was hard. I keep hearing that around six weeks it gets better or some say three months. I'm really hoping one of them is right. So I don't mean to complain and maybe I'll stop one day. But for right now I'm surviving on very little sleep so I think I'm allowed to complain a little. Two wonderful things have been Brian and our parents. Brian has been so great helping in every way possible. I don't know who is getting more sleep me or him but he doesn't complain so I am greatful for that. Also my Mom has come to help for several days. It was wonderful having her here. Not only to help but to spend time with too. Brian's parents have also come to help. They have been great making Lauren feel special and giving her extra attention that she needs right now. We have updated our photo album link on the side bar with more pictures of Gabe and Lauren. Check them out when you get a chance.
