Are there bad days? yep. Are there great days? yep. Are there days I want to cry? sure. Are there days I put Jacob down early to bed and give him books and toys to play with so he's happy? sure thing. But in all seriousness it's doable and I surprised to say I'm doing okay- which is better than just surviving!
I knew as soon as we brought Aubree home I was going to need some sort of routine. I follow babywise- I did with Jacob and now with Aubree and so far it has worked wonderfully. She is still a challenging baby and goodness did I forget how much crying there is having a newborn. But she's a real trooper.
What I am most surprised with is how much Jacob loves his sister. He doesn't always pay attention to her...but he does a lot. He calls her baby, gives her his coveted blanket and monkey, he gets down on her level during tummy time and shakes a rattle for her, he WANTS to hold and kiss her. It is the sweetest thing. The other night he asked me if she could take a bath with him...so sweet!
But all in all we're doing more than just surviving and I am thankful. Maybe it's because we were already in "babymode" with Jacob and didn't get to enjoy too much freedom before having another or maybe we're just crazy....We love these little monsters of ours!
