A Mommy of Two for Three Weeks

So I've been a mommy of two for 3 weeks now.  This is what I have discovered:
  • No matter how tired you are, you will always have enough energy of either child that is begging for your attention. 
  • If one has a dirty diaper, the other is soon to follow.
  • I am capable of bathing 2 children at once - in different tubs of course.
  • Your heart grows 100 times when you have another child.
  • You feel guilty if you can't always be with both children at once, but they are just happy to know you are there.
  • Babies can sleep through their sisters putting a princess hat on them and putting teething rings on their ankles (wish I had taken a picture of THAT!).
  • The kids' room will now always be messy - until Natty gets used to picking up.  She does good with the books, but that's about it.
  • It's possible to go through 200+ newborn diapers in less than 4 weeks. 
  • And I am thankful for all the diapers we got at the shower, as we're using the HUGE box of 1's that are, now, nearly half gone as well.
  • Just as soon as the kids get cleaned, either one will almost instantaneously get dirty - milk, juice, diaper blowout, spit up, you name it....
  • It's possible to go through 5 onesies in less than an hour.
So this is just a LITTLE bit of the fun I've had the past 3 weeks.  I am most definitely NOT looking forward to going to work, so I'm trying to savor all this wacky, crazy moments.  :)

Happy Tuesday!

Hahahaha! At least you're not getting pulled in three directions at once. One thing's for sure, there just isn't enough time in the day! :)

Wow...sounds like you have been having a super crazy last few weeks! Do you feel like you're adjusting all right, or is it just chaos?
