    We're doing pretty good. It helps that Alex is still home with him and they're forming a really sweet bond. I think I'll have a hard time when he starts day care. For now, I just miss him like crazy.

    How is life with two kiddos?

    Pretty great. It's a lot to balance, but pretty fun. It is easier than most moms of two I bet because Will is so old :)

    Not even close since I was pretty strictly restricted on activity after week 28 and Alex was busy picking up the slack around the house. What's funny is that it really didn't matter. We had diapers, wipes, a car seat, a safe place for Andy to sleep and clothes. That's all we really needed the first few weeks anyway. 

    Also, we ended up moving most of the baby's furniture into our room since we decided to keep him with us until 1 year. So now the nursery is basically just a storage room.

  • What do you usually eat for breakfast?

    These days, a strawberry wild jamba juice and some oatmeal. I'm trying to avoid breakfast tacos even though they're delicious. I've got about 25 pounds left to lose but it's hard because breastfeeding makes me super hungry.

  • I've been having Strawberries Wild for breakfast too! I just recently found them in the grocery store and I'm loving it.

    What was your favorite book when you were growing up?

    I found them too and am going to try making them at home.

    When I was very little it was probably a book called Frank and Ernest about a restaurant. I really loved to read as a young adult and Animal Farm was probably my favorite.

  • What are the biggest differences between Will as a baby and Andy? Similarities?

    What are the biggest differences between Will as a baby and Andy? Similarities?

    Will was such a good baby. He very rarely cried and he slept through the night (6 hours) at 6 weeks. Andy is kind of fussy and not very interested in sleeping. He still gets up twice a night at 10 weeks old.

    They both learned to bat at things very early. I'm also so very in love with them both.

    I wasn't planning on it, but Alex has been talking about possibly one more. If we do have another, it will be several years from now.

    Eli still gets up twice a night most nights and he is 17 months old Smile we are working on that.
