Rhythm of life
Truth be told...I never wanted kids. I wasn't one of those girls growing up that dreamed of being a mom. I dreamed of being a vet or a doctor or a figure skater (?!)...but not a mom. My, my how times can change...
In all honesty I cannot imagine my life without Owen and Claire. They have changed me in ways that nothing else possibly could. I have come to realize things, both good and bad, that I didn't know about myself before becoming a mom... I'm also pretty confident that I'll never wear a bikini again. ;)
Claire has been home from the NICU for a month now and I've been back to work for two weeks. I think we are beginning to get into a rhythm of sorts... figuring this 'parent of two kids' thing out. I never realized beforehand that going from one child to two is an exponential leap. It sounds so innocent to say 'yes, I have two kids now' but the implications of having two kids under 3 years old is...hmmm... I can't think of a word that truly describes it, but it sure makes having one look easy.
Owen is super cute with Claire and is doing a really good job at being a big brother. The little green eyed monster comes out from time to time but for the most part the addition of Claire to the family has been a pretty good one for him. I have Owen and Claire on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays while Jake works then on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends I work Jake is Mr. mom.
I'd be lying if I said parenthood didn't have its up's and downs, but I wouldn't change anything.
