2 is hard

I kept hearing that 2 was easier than 1. WRONG! I can see how it may be true in some areas. I mean I'm not as anal about things, and I dont wonder if certain things the baby is doing are normal or if I should call the Dr. Other than that, I'm having a difficult time finding a balance. Andrea has been really good about everything, but I mean she's only 3 and has her needs too.

It's been really difficult just giving Andrea her own special time while tending to an infant. I try and do as much as i can while Joaquin sleeps, but it's not that easy because he isn't really on a schedule yet. Somedays he will sleep all day, and others he's wide awake a big part of it. I wear him a lot, and that helps, but it's still difficult.

I'm sure a big part of it is that we are not in our space yet, and it just makes things more chaotic. I hope to hear back about that home real soon. I just feel like we will have so much more structure, and perhaps we can actually get on some sort of routine. I also hope that the older Joaquin gets the more I get used to things. I love having him, and he fills my heart with lots of love, but 2 isnt by any means easier than 1. I guess this is all part of the journey of being mom.
