Allie 12 weeks

You read that right...she's already 12 weeks (and 2 days) old. So what have I learned?

My heart and hands really are big enough for 2!

After the initial adjustment period, I've found that having 2 children is SO much better than 1 and I can't wait...I mean absolutely can't wait til they play together. Dawson is already so good with her and loves her so much.

co sleeping works for us and I can guarantee if I had another, I'd co sleep with her/him too. I'm 2 for 2 so far.

McDonald's is the perfect place to take D when he needs to get energy out and if you go around 2pm it's not crowded at all and Allie isn't bothered. Ours has an indoor play place so if it's cold or windy it's still okay. And it doesn't hurt that nuggets are one of the about 5 foods that he'll actually eat.

Slowly but surely my body is going to back to normal and I feel great.

It's true when they say you don't rush your second to do things like you do your first. By the time D was Allie's age he was swatting at toys and I think he may have rolled over a time or two. She's watching toys and smiles and talks all the time but I'm in no rush for her to roll. At least right now she stays where I put her.

I'm SOOOO much more relaxed with Allie than I was with D. I'm not worried about everything and I can really just go with the flow. So what if we don't get out of our pajamas til dinner time or if the kids only get a bath every other day. Whatever works right now is what we're doing.
