So my mom-in-law is in town for a few days to help me with the kiddos, and let me tell you, I'm excited! In my first week of being a mother to two, I've learned that I will never keep up with my friends who have more than two young children. What do you do when they're both crying? What do you do when they're both hungry? Why didn't I think of this before having a second child?
Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited that Ryland is here. I LOVE having a newborn again. I love when they're so little that they just sleep most of the day and lay on your chest all curled up and sweet. I love the close relationship from nursing a little one. I even love their adorable, tiny, little diapers!
Of course, I also love singing songs, and reading to Cade, and taking him to the park. He's a lot of fun right now as his speech is starting to take off and he's getting more and more into games. The problem is how do I accomodate both of them? Any suggestions?
I know this is a very temporary phase as we adjust, but I have to admit, the idea of spending our lives savings to hire a nanny has gotten very tempting...
So back to my mother in law. Here for a few days to give me a little help. My mother in town is very helpful, too, but having someone who's here entirely to help will be nice. I hope it will be a chance to really bond with my MIL, too. For some reason, I'm always sick or something when we're together. Right now I'm healthy, so let's hope it stays that way!

We'll see...
So here I go, starting a blog that I am very unlikely to keep up with. I love the idea, but is this going to be like keeping a journal or babybook? If so, there may not be much to read. But, I'm excited about the idea that I can let people in on my family news by posting. Let's see...what could our latest news be...? Oh! Becoming a family of four instead of three! Our second son was born two weeks ago today, and I have to say he is a dream. I hope he stays this quiet and easygoing. His big brother, while a sweetie, is plenty to keep up with at this point! I guess for now I'll continue to play with setting up this thing and see if I can figure out how to post pictures. The world will be a better place if I can get cute pics of my boys on this blog!
