Looks like you guy...Jen here... great update Sarah. Looks like you guys have adjusted extremely well. I'm impressed! I will honestly say that going from 1 to 2 kids felt like I added 100 kids. I was exhausted! I'm thinking part of this was because Everett was 2.5 at the time and still a complete handful. Didn't listen to me, had to be strapped in a stroller or something because he would just run off at any moment, couldn't focus or sit still with anything for more than 2 minutes. Basically he required me to watch him nearly fulltime and was not the kid to sit quietly near me while I took care of the baby. Grant was not your typical newborn. I knew I was in trouble because he literally kicked all day and night when he was in me... and didn't stop when he came out. He hardly slept in the hospital and cried, a lot. The kid worked out of tight velcro swaddles days after coming home. There was no sleep during the day or at night... so I was up all night rocking, feeding, doing the 5 "S's" with him and then trying to manage both all day during the day. We finally switched him to special hypoallergenic formula in liquid form only around 5 months and it was like a new child! Don't get me wrong, the kid is still a complete handful and doesn't really like to sleep but he's a lot better. They're now 4 and 20 months and they run me ragged every day! I think I ended up with the 2 wildest and craziest boys ever. I love them so very much and wouldn't change a thing about them... but, wow. We pretty much have to leave the house to go somewhere and do something every day. My pediatrician just likes to say they need lots and lots of stimulation and activity... and always comments that I must be tired. Uh huh! I'm so happy they have each other... especially with TR's passing. They aren't getting along very well now but I really hope they develop a close bond as they get older because I think they're going to need each other. I love seeing their similarities and differences. Multiple kids can be challenging and exhausting but most days I feel like a very lucky mom and I'm so thankful for what I have!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17778299293063327513noreply@blogger.com
