I miss Grandma...
Man was I spoiled? I had my step-mom staying with us for the first three weeks of little Emma Rose's life and now she has gone back to Michigan... She left last Thursday and I thought I could handle this but I am so tired. Man I had no idea how much sleep I was getting while she was here... She would take Emma until about 2a.m. or so and then I would take over for the next feeding and then go back to bed til around 8 or so... i know, I know i was so spoiled and not to mention that Anna was going to daycare two days a week! I dont' think I can ever thank Jan enough for being here to help out and being away from her home and her bed for so long... thank you Grandma Jan. And now here I am by myself with both girls. It is 9:30 on a monday morning - Anna and I are watching cartoons and Emma is snoozing... I have to go to Target today to return sometime and buy some bibs for little miss spit-up. I am thinking about going to the park with the girls but I don't know if I am brave enough - last Friday I took them both on a walk and after a couple of blocks Anna was crying because she wanted to be carried and I had Emma in the Baby Bjorn (I love that thing!)
So to my mommies who are juggling two babies full time, please tell me your secret. I am only home til August 30 and then back to work full time so I just don't know how it is all going to work. I am nervous about leaving Emma with daycare. I want her to be cuddled all day like I do with her.
Please any tricks to balancing house work and two little ones... tell me!

Having parents close so you can drop them off is the key. :-)
I don't have any secrets. Actually it's 1am in the morning and I just spent the past 2 hours cleaning my house...b/c I don't get the chance or have the energy to do it during the day. I know they all say sleep when the kiddos sleep but it's not always that easy.
We have a lot of no agenda days where the only thing planned is just to get through the day...eating, playing and sleeping. I'm sure you're doing awesome with it all. Don't be so hard on yourself.
J-
I'm sure you're doing a fine job. Remember that the most important thing, again, is raising your two beautiful girlies. So the table doesn't get dusted or the floor swept...who cares?
Going back to work is really hard, but I think I'm a better mom because of it. I learned to cherish the time that we do have together and feel that I have more patience because of it. As long as you feel your day care is adequate, things will be just fine. Good luck!
