You are a great Momma. Your children and their needs & desires are always your priority. Even your decision to have a second child was largely based on giving Adeline something you never had, a sibling. My only advice would be....enjoy your sweet girls because they will be grown before you know it!<br />I love you all!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12929096276642677013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498365137661845332.post-24171273242222420502011-10-24T10:50:03.552-05:002011-10-24T10:50:03.552-05:00The 2 under 2 is a lot.

I think parents are always trying to balance attention and love with everything in life. I am one of 5. I never have felt that my parents didn't love me or give the same amount of attention as my other siblings. It gets easier.

My boys are 15 months apart which made it challenging to get anything done until I figured out a few tricks that worked for us. Inevitably when I would go to feed the baby my toddler needed juice or a snack or a video or a certain toy so I would anticipate what he needed before I sat down to feed the baby so he was good to go for the next 15 minutes. A daily shower was crucial to my emotional wellbeing but I didn't trust my toddler alone with the baby either so we got in the habit of my toddler going in his crib with toys and books while I had the baby in a bouncy seat in the bathroom with me. Both kids were content and safe while I had a few minutes to myself. I figured out grocery shopping was easier done without the kids so I would go at night after the older son's bedtime. Grocery shopping became a treat for me because it meant time to myself! You will find what works for you but make sure you aren't forfeiting "you" time for your kids because happy mom makes for happier kids.New Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066510413680794187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498365137661845332.post-68627006316816094192011-10-22T22:55:34.043-05:002011-10-22T22:55:34.043-05:00Wow, that seems rough but definitely worth it.
