baby #2: blogging for my sanity

baby #2 is finally here! she's beautiful and perfect and we love her so much. but it's also a rude re-awakening to the horrors of having a newborn in the house. i swear, i am so not cut out for dealing with the first few weeks of baby's life. it's definitely easier the second time around, but only just. thankfully, cam has been incredibly amazing adjusting to his sister being around which has been such a blessing. what a great kid.

here's my quick thoughts on the first 5 days with a new baby and 2 kids in the house:

• the sleep abyss is back and i do not function well without sleep.
• breastfeeding is the devil. DEVIL.
• less worry about the small stuff (how much baby is eating, sleeping, crying, etc.) but added guilt of not being able to spend time with my older one. thankfully, he's been so wonderful and understanding about "sharing mommy."
• my husband is my savior. 
• hormones are a bitch and they affect me greatly. 
• 2 meltdowns in 5 days, and i'm not talking about the kids.
• the jaundice blanket suckidy sucks sucks.
• and i know it sounds horrible, but if i could skip over the first 3 weeks with baby, i would.
