I am trying so hard to not compare myself to other mothers. {As my friend, Angela, reminded me Comparison is the thief of joy.} I am trying to accept that I don't adjust quickly to change. So this weekend was a big moment for me. I had both kids by myself for about 6 hours. Brent has a bachelor party in 2 weeks that is overnight, so this was a practice run. I could have called my parents to play with us, but I wanted to do it myself.
Were there tears? Yes. {Some of them mine}
Did we have fun? Yes.
Most importantly - We did it!
Just a typical afternoon of solo parenting
He just HAD to get into her bath.
Her expression cracks me up.
Like 'Can't I get anything that is just mine?' Nope, little girl.
So cheers to me!! {And my kids for being fabulous}

Way to go! Baby steps (pun intended) :)
I love how candid you are about post baby hormones and real life. I can relate to every one of your posts. The adjustment is tough at first. I think I'm still adjusting to 3 and its been 15 months! You are doing a fabulous job! It gets easier!
You are doing a fabulous job! You are your toughest critic! So proud of you. Trent looks SO old in that pic! Drew does favor you, I love it!
Great Job Mommy!! Looks like you made it and had fun, which are the important things.
Couldn't have been too rough if you have time for photo opportunities! - B
I am sure you did great. Every one being fed and alive at the end of the day is sometimes all you can do!
