Two under Two

So, here we are! It's been close to three months since I've written anything on here, but is definitely been a very busy couple of months. We welcomed Dyllan Violet to our family on May 23rd 2010 at 1:15pm (12 days late may I add!!) She was 10 pounds even and 22 inches long. She's gorgeous! When she first made her entrance I couldn't believe the resemblance she shared with her brother but she seems to be changing a bit and looking a little bit like a good combination of Doug and I. She was a month old yesterday and I can't believe how time flies! It's totally insane!

Having two under two has been...challenging, but not nearly as difficult as I had feared. Of course, we have our days! Yesterday for example Greyson had about 6 meltdowns before noon. That was a bit overwhelming. Poor kid seems to have a never ending appearance of teeth so I'm sure that doesn't help. He seems to be exceptionally horrible when I'm nursing Dyllan or (god forbid) taking a few minutes to myself. IE:RIGHT NOW!

I'm still a little at odds on how to discipline a 20 month old. Not quite sure he'd get the concept of time out and not really crazy about spanking and hitting for something as trivial as getting into a cupboard he's not supposed to. I don't know! REDIRECT REDIRECT REDIRECT!! Some days I feel like that's enough to send me STRAIGHT to the nuthouse!! I'm not sure I'm exactly cut out to be an awesome mom but I'm doing the best I can. I love my kids (yes, both of them!) more than I could ever even imagine loving anyone or anything in my entire life. I would certainly do anything to move heaven and earth to make them happy!

I start back to work in 7 days not something I'm particularly looking forward to so soon, but it is what it is. I think I will enjoy the "adult time" once I get used to it. I was spoiled with Greyson and didn't have to go back until he was four months old. We had better "planning" last time around! :) It's only three days a week and the babies will be staying with family so there is nothing to worry about. If only we could all be billionaires and never have to work! :) I definitely miss my friends and even the customers. I do enjoy my job!

I have to go for the moment and tend to my children, Greyson's ready for a nap and today, I might take myself up on the offer of grabbing one for myself and Dyllan! Nothing like napping with your babies! Gotta love it!
