My Boys Boy #2 is 11 weeks old today... wow, it's been a great (exhausting) 11 weeks, but so worth it! I love being a mommy to my two little boys who adore me... this will end too soon!
I admit, I was a little overwhelmed after baby was born... overwhelmed and EXHAUSTED! Especially, when someone was eating every hour and half and the big boy of the house wanted mommy to play with him. But things have settled down now and I have a few "helpful" things that I have figured out...
1. Hold the baby, it will be way too soon that he won't want you to hold him anymore. After eating #2 and I cuddle, even when there are dishes and laundry to do.
2. Sleep when #1 takes a nap-- put #2 on your chest and sleepy.
3. Have a routine... we got out of the habit of being forceful of bedtime and it has bitten us in the butt several times (like a 2 year old up at 2am on New Years...). But also don't be unflexible... I am home sometimes at night alone and the baby needs to eat at the same time as bedtime... bedtime gets pushed back.
4. Have a cleaning routine... I am using this new planner from Motivated Moms. It is AWESOME! Everyday it gives me a few little chores to complete. If I don't get something done, I do it the next day.
5. Enjoy life and havefun!!!
I love having two little boys... I can't wait for all the other "new" things I will learn from them!!
