Goodness, I have so much to share with you and so little time to sit down and write.
I find that each day, nurturing and feeding our two growing kids, flies by.
Covering them in kisses, cooking nourishing foods, creating enriching activities, spending quality time together; this is the rhythm of our day-to-day life.
Our son has fit seamlessly into the fabric of our family.
Much to my surprise, I’ve discovered over the past month that taking care of a newborn is ever so much easier the second time around. I’ve done this before. I can do this. Things that overwhelmed me five years ago are now a piece of cake.
In so many ways babies are easy: feed, burp, change, snuggle, repeat. The challenges are to come. Raising a five year old takes ever so much more effort than caring for a newborn. Not in a bad way; just a different challenge. She keeps me on my toes.
And so I spend hours each day breastfeeding, fattening up and bonding with this beautiful baby boy, gearing up for the chaos to come, while supporting and loving our little girl.
Life is full.
