I am hanging out on the computer, enjoying a few quiet moments, instead of doing something productive. Amelia has gone to bed and waking Jace has been impossible for the last few hours. Seems it will be another long night when he finally decides to be conscious. Last night he decided to stay awake until close to midnight, took a brief 30 minute nap, and was up again. He did great sleeping when we first brought him home. Now it seems he has his days and nights mixed up. Oh well, we knew it couldn't be that easy:) Jace is growing great, a full pound above birth weight by two weeks old.
Having two kids has been quite the new challenge. I think we'd be sitting pretty if we only had Jace. We could sleep whenever he does, etc. Amelia is actually adjusting pretty well, thanks to Grammie and Dad. It's twice the fun to do ANYTHING...cook dinner, take a shower, leave the house with these two. My mom gave me great advice when she said it takes twice as long to do anything or go anywhere when you have two kids. Thanks Mom! You've saved me tons of stress! All in all I think the hardest thing has been giving each kid the attention they need, when they need it. But, we're learning and maybe we'll get it down before we have another (not for a long, long time mind you!).
Here's to twice the love!

kami, how are you? it's been awhile! congrats on 2 beautiful babies, love the name jace! hope you are recovering well. may i say that having 2 has been quite the adjustment for me. it was easy at first b/c lyra slept and ate and that was all. now, liam has entered the tantrum phase, lyra is very picky and somedays all i feel like i hear is crying and screaming. my mom keeps reminding me it will pass and get better and to just keep working with the kids. so, good luck and remember that your children love you and i have developed a better appreciation and understaning of motherhood! love you!!!
I love those kids, and you two are good parents. I am glad that we live close so we can see each other every once in a while.
