We have a three year...I am SO with you on this one. We have a three year old and a 6 month old and are (of course) potty training right now...have been for the last 3 months! I've had to interrupt many a feeding to rush the little man to the potty! <br /><br />I can only dream that it does get easier. Just know you have a kindred spirit!Gillian Behnkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335644342104745222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027511072264313662.post-45889078718522860602010-04-21T18:02:28.127-04:002010-04-21T18:02:28.127-04:00I'm just givin you a hard time!

Like, before I had Avery I pictured my little angel always clean, tantrum-less, and smiling, and come to find out its takes a lot of work and a lot of frustration, but just like I couldn't prepare myself for the difficulty (and constant boughts disappointment!) I also had no idea how magnificent it would be to hear my little girl say "mama" for the first time or what getting unasked-for hugs and kisses would feel like. I feel ya!! I love your blog and really appreciate your honestly. xoxoMrs. Beerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606417358694738270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027511072264313662.post-16330577174567675192010-04-21T11:13:45.631-04:002010-04-21T11:13:45.631-04:00And don't think I am totally turned off on the...And don't think I am totally turned off on the whole idea of more kids...I have my days when I actually think , "Hey, 3 can't be that much different that 2!"

I am not trying to scare you la...@ Mrs. Beer~Oh no! I am not trying to scare you ladies. I would not trade my 2 girls for anything or the chaos that they bring with them. The cuddles, and hug, all make up for it. Its just like labor and birth, no one can truly prepare for it. Some ladies are brilliant in a crunch and the stress doesn't phase them. Its all about knowing when to just let go of some of the battles. AS long as you keep your eye on the prize (your beautiful little children) you will be fine. Believe me, all moms go through this. It is our growing pains. You will find your way, and the kids probably won't even notice the stress you are under. They are resilient and oblivious most times to our chaos. My Mom had 6 kids, I don't know how she did it.It does however explain why she can tune out everything around her, is losing her hair, and has the long term memory of a pea! Poor lady! Seriously though, don't be afraid. There is a lot more fabulousness to having more than one child than there are troubling issues. Just today my post was focusing on the craziness, but you can see from my posts more times than not, I am gushing about their fabulousness.Truthful Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418118155979582823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027511072264313662.post-2156276796240087482010-04-21T10:56:09.100-04:002010-04-21T10:56:09.100-04:00AHH!

Ok, so my husband and I are trying for a second, and I knew this kind of overwhelmingness (not a word, I know) existed but didn't want to believe it. As I was reading this post my inner self was telling me "DON'T DO IT! LOOK AWAY! STOP READING!!!!!!" But, alas, I read it. And now I'm scared... hahaha. I knew it. I just knew it!!Mrs. Beerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606417358694738270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027511072264313662.post-65735812442229342582010-04-21T10:19:21.128-04:002010-04-21T10:19:21.128-04:00NO, need to be afraid. You can do it. It is awesom...NO, need to be afraid. You can do it. It is awesome having two..they are the cutest little best friends I've ever seen. It's just hard on days when I am wearing myself thin. As long as you remember that being MOmmy is the priority and everything else is secondary, you will be fine. My problem is sometimes I forget and think I am like everyone else..you know people who have lives. That is where the confusion comes in, Then I set myself up fro failure. AS long as I remember my time and attention is very limited, I stay within my boundaries and don't find myself so overwhelmed. I think that is pretty common though, no matter how many kids we have:)Truthful Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418118155979582823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027511072264313662.post-51961384348198711832010-04-21T09:29:24.520-04:002010-04-21T09:29:24.520-04:00I only have one...and thats the reason I'm so ...I only have one...and thats the reason I'm so scared and nervous to have a second. Granted the one is only 6 months. And yes I will have another one but it's still fricken scary!!! I applaud all the mothers out there because it's not easy but it is the most rewarding job there is!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203421653493336228noreply@blogger.com
