Arielle, you speak such truth...I now know how much my mama loves me (and how much grief I've put her through!) :) Most of my day is spent thinking about how to do things better for Lydia...developing a better rhythm for our days, figuring out new ways to get her little brain going, better ways to breastfeed...all of our energy and time goes to our babies! My philosophy about child-rearing is this: whenever anyone says, "Oh, I did such-and-such when I was little and I turned out fine" I always think to myself that yeah, that's true, but we can do better for our kids because we know better now! <br /><br />Love you both so much!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283281270923483487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324533852747510916.post-51506145736913780812011-02-24T10:55:06.569-08:002011-02-24T10:55:06.569-08:00That was a great note Katie! and so true all the w...That was a great note Katie! and so true all the way. I am/was on the same boat, after having Anisa, we both became overwhelmed and being first time parents, it was exhausting. However as time went by we figured out ways to manage our time and make time for each other, today we are on baby # 2 and i can honestly say we came a long way, things are a lot more easier for us because of our experience (not that you can ever be %100 experienced with children)but we tried. I am so happy for you and you both deserve that hot date on Monday,and your mom is awesome for stepping in to babysit for you. HAVE FUN BEAUTIFUL!and remember just because we are mommies doesn't mean we have to pretend that the babies spit up blends with our outfit, treat yourself occasionally, you are a sexy momma ;-)Rahmo Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324533852747510916.post-63740459786091351982011-02-24T09:36:36.769-08:002011-02-24T09:36:36.769-08:00What a great read! Oh the similar struggles we all...What a great read! Oh the similar struggles we all experience in life. Do you ever feel like you worry too much about raising Lydia, and just kind of forget the appreciation you have for you parents. I feel that way sometimes. Like, I worry about if I am reading to her enough, if I should put her in two ecfc classes a week this spring or just one, or is she bonding well with everyone in her life. And sometimes I just think, my mom didn't do any of this stuff and I turned out pretty good! I just think sometimes we worry too much about strategies and books, articles and don't listen enough to just being a loving providing mother! ... But then I am like I want her to have all of the tools and resources given to her so that she can be . . . . and the worrying continues! lol<br />ArielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
