Parenthood = Tough.

Sometimes as a parent I find it hard to admit defeat. To admit that it's a tough job being a Mommy. To admit that it causes me more stress than I'd like to own up to. That my anxiety levels have risen quite noticeably. Especially now with 2 babies in diapers, 2 babies with bottles and 2 babies that are teething. It's just hard. Sometimes I feel like it's {wrong} to state the difficulties. And I personally like to focus on the positives because they totally outweigh the negative. But sometimes I just need to get it out:
  • I miss sleep.
  • I miss going to movies.
  • I miss late nights out with my girls.
  • I miss living on {my} schedule and no one else's.
  • I miss taking naps when {I} want.
  • I miss sleeping in late.
  • I miss having my house clean.
  • I miss date nights with my husband.
  • I would be ok with never changing another diaper. With never cleaning up vomit with a sick baby.
  • I would love a house free of {baby} clutter.
But moments like these make me so happy to be a Mother. I wouldn't change a thing. I love you Jaxon and Chloe. xoxo

He loves giving baby Chloe hugs and kisses.

  2. Your kids are adorable, and I am sure it gets tough. I was living with my sister when Maleah was born until about three yrs old, and it was tough a lot of the time. When you don't know what they want, and especially when they get tired and they wont go to sleep. You are an awesome mom and I know you love your kids, but you do need some me time and you and scotty time also. You guys are an amazing and cute family. We should find sometime to hang out. Give me a call or email me. Hope the kids take a good nap for you today, then its mommy nap day also. =)

  3. We can take as many "drives" as you need lol. It's good for us to get out of the house and have a 30 minutes bitch session every now and then :)

    But yes, I'm totally with you on your list. I can't imagine doing it with two. I miss sleep so much! I love Michael, but given the choice between quality time with him and a good nap? The nap wins every time.

  5. Amen, it can be exhausting. But I'm glad my kids are spaced out more. You are doing awesome with two babies, that would be very challenging. Also being a stay at home mom can be lonely, I remember feeling that way while on maternity leave. Make sure to get your dates with Scotty in and I'm always up for a girls night :). Your kiddies are so adorable. There is nothing better than being a mom! We are blessed!
