My friend Danielle and I were talking the other day about how we could have ever thought having one kid was hard. She's just had her second so we were laughing about this. Today Aspen spent the day with Eric's brother and parents so it was just little Oakley and I. During his three (!) naps I was able to make jam of all things, read, do some laundry, actually eat lunch, and waste some time on the computer. It was great! When he was awake we got some one-on-one time and it was overall a wonderful day. I'm sure when I have three kids I'll feel the same way about having only two! So I guess I should just keep my mouth shut and enjoy my one-on-two time :)

Is this an announcement?!?

I still think the first baby is the hardest. It's just such a life adjustment. No more sleeping, eating, bathing or anything else on your own time schedule. Somebody else is in charge now!

I have been thinking the same thing lately since my fifth just arrived, but I think the same thing with each child I have. I think about how much time I really had when I just had one, or two, or three, etc.! Thanks for all of your posts, I love to read them! Sending my love to you guys!

I'm excited/nervous/curious to experience the major adjustment we'll be making in sixish months. I'm sure I have no idea what I am getting into. :)

Oh no, I am due with my second in 2 months! Guess I will start gearing up. :)

I feel like that every time Liam goes to school :) a few hours to get some things done! But I love the time when the boys get to play together... until they start fighting. Kids.
