You know your a new Mom of 2 when...

-in the morning you wash your hair in the sink and skip the shower. Then later at bath time jump in the bath with your toddler to freshen up.

-you rub nipple lanolin on your lips as you run out the door as a replacement for chap stick.

-leave the house with a sweater on paired with flip-flops.

-eat the leftover lunch your toddler left on her plate and hope your appetite holds until dinner.

-you have a backache.

-most likely there is spit-up pooled in your cleavage (dried or fresh).

-you are bouncing back and forth whenever you are standing, even if you aren't holding your newborn.

-you aren't sure if the yellow smear on your shirt is watercolors or baby poop.

-you are asking God for silly things like; 30 more minutes of sleep, or a moment alone to go pee.

I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried folks. This is my real life. I'm loving it.

Sara,

YUP! The funny thing is not all of those go away as the kids get older! Hope all is well. Love, Donna

Bella's smile is priceless. It's as if she's thinking,"Yep, that yellow stain is all mine". Great entry.
XOXO, Terry
