In the words of my bff Angela, "Girl, you need to blog again!" Yes, yes, it's been nearly three months, so it goes with me and blogging. I do have great intentions, I really do. I think about blogging a lot, but just haven't done it. So, there's no better time than the present huh!?!
Angela encouraged me today to just blog about life, the realness of your days, whatever! It is a great tool to look back through and recall what has happened. I ran across a blog the other day of a girl who blogged every day for the first year of her son's life. She would put up a picture, share what they did, fun things that her little boy did, and whatever else to document his first year of life! That is pretty awesome to me, and I want to be able to look back at things like that too. So, here is to blogging about the everyday things that happen, and perhaps some other things too!
Well, to catch us up to speed, here are a few little things about the past months....
Life with two little kiddos:
-It has been a MUCH easier transition than I ever thought it would be! God has been incredibly gracious with this new phase of life. I get out and about with both kids quite frequently, and with not much drama! My life saver is my Ergo baby carrier! Wow, that thing is AMAZING! I can't imagine life without it now having two kids! It's like a magic sleep inducing item for Owen. I pop him in and he goes right to sleep! It has made my Target shopping trips so much easier.
-Having two in diapers = lots and lots and lots of diaper changing and diapers everywhere!
-Owen doesn't like to ride in the car at all! Karis would knock out on our three hour trips to my mom and dad's area really quickly when she was a few months old. But Owen, not at all! He maybe slept an hour on one trip down. Other than that, he's a screamer! (Hmmm....if only I could figure out a way to combine the Ergo and his carseat....)
-I have only had one day where I thought, "I think two kids is enough for me!" Other than that one moment, I am completely open to more little blessings if the Lord so wills.
I LOVE my kids and am so thankful for the opportunity to be their momma! It has been a wonderful three months with Owen, and a wonderful almost 22 months with Karis! I'll blog more about our new adventures with them later (and hopefully be more consistent in the future, but how many times have I said that? But this time I'm serious! No, seriously, I'm serious!) : )
It was nice to blog again. Thanks for the encouragement Ang!
