Life with two under two...where to begin. I'll start with an apology ahead of time for any typos or misspelled words, because as I type, I have one adorable, squirmy, sleeping 2.5 week old on my shoulder and one handsome, crazy 20 month old boy crawling all over my legs desperately trying to get to his sissy. Have I mentioned he is obsessed?! No joke!
When I was pregnant with Savannah, people gave me all sorts of advice and "wisdom" on what life with two young kids would be like. Some was solicited and some was not, another story for another time. But it was one of those things that I knew I would not truly understand until they were both here, together, and in my lap. Well, they are here and both currently in my lap. Life with two is crazy, yet works just perfectly. It is sometimes overwhelming and yet, always more joyful than I could have ever expected. It is wild and loud and silly and happy and chaotic and pretty downright perfect. It's going to have to get a lot crazier or Sean's idea of stopping at two just might be out the window (sorry honey)! Yes, we do go through about 25-30 diapers a day (just ask our poor garbage man!) but thank the Lord for friends and family that blessed us by helping to stock up on such useful things! Two in diapers and cribs at the same time is every bit as adventurous as it sounds ;) I'm just glad no one has had to witness the acrobatic skills necessary to wear one child in a sling on my front while lifting the other child into his crib at nap time. Whew! I wouldn't have it any other way, but boy will I have some good stories for our babies when they grow up (which, by the way, isn't allowed to happen for a long, long time). Until then, I am soaking up every crazy minute of this wonderful life that I have been blessed with!
