My second born is now four months old and she is sleeping through the night and a napping all day!
Ha! Kidding!
How I want that statement to be true, but my reality couldn't be further from it.
We are still very much figuring everything out. Thankfully babies are cute right?
I'm literally writing this update in my pajamas. I have coffee breath and haven't brushed my hair. It's mid-day. Baby is cooing sweetly on her play-mat. Other than her multiple night wake-ups, she's a pretty chill baby. She just needs to learn how to give mom a bit more sleep!
On one hand, I find myself thinking this baby is in fact "easier" than my first. On the other hand, I wonder if it's more to do with not being so naive about newborns and having a few more mom-tricks up my sleeve that have helped me get through the first few months more smoothly.
I'll never know for sure, but I do know that despite the exhaustion of caring for a baby and raising my toddler, as corny as it sounds, my heart bursts every day. My eyes are bleary and feel like they could burst too, but I know it's temporary.
I now know that it does truly go by so quickly, so I'm appreciating the little milestones much more.
I also know that in no time, I'll be back at work and back into a weekday routine. For now we're still improvising every day until a routine develops.
I'll find a new groove sooner than later! Until then I'll keep the coffee machine running and a sense of humour close at hand :)
