life with two

It's definitely been an adjustment here..for all of us. I love being a mom of two yet I am not afraid to say, this is really hard. I know it should get easier in ways, especially once I get my energy back. Will my energy come back?

Zach has been so great since we have been home. He's up all night bringing Emma to me, and changing her diapers all night long. Jonah has been waking up twice a night for some reason and so Zach has been going back and forth between our room and his. This is for my mom, who is so worried about me eating well. I normally cook dinner around here so it was a little surprise for me to see how well Zach did making dinner last night. He even set the table! Notice he set the fork and knife on the opposite end, each with a napkin. I asked him to make a salad, and he even had a bowl of olives with ranch. I would have never thought of adding that.

The hardest part has been keeping Jonah happy, and away from the baby. I thought I would try putting the swing in the family room, but as you can see, it lasted about one minute.

He's just so rough and scary with her. It's all out of love, but he wants to clap her hands together like he does with his Handy Manny doll. I'm really scared for Zach to go back to work, and be left alone to nurse her. I know it's going to be a huge process of keeping the crazy monkey away.

On a positive note, Emma so far as been such a calm, sweet baby. She eats well, sleeps well, and poops very well. I can't wait to watch her grow and change each day. I also can't wait for my sister in law and mom to come!!
