- Feeding the baby, while reading a book to the toddler
- Telling you husband that I'll take this one, if you take the other
- Playing cars on mommy's & daddy's bed, so we don't wake the baby
- Having more playdates at our house
- Pushing double strollers, changing 2 different size diapers, and folding twice as many clothes
- Breastfeeding the baby, while chasing after the toddler
- Giving in and letting your toddler watch cartoons, while you fold the laundry
- Putting off bath time until tomorrow
- Staying up later just to have some "me time" or to have some conversations with the hubby
- Feeling accomplished when the house is clean, the boys are dressed, and no one is crying, when the hubby gets home from work
- Using 2 carts at the store, so you have room for the groceries
- Taking the toddler to the bathroom with me, so he doesn't jump on his brother or try to feed him his snacks
- Hearing, "You got your hands full," just about everywhere we go
- Struggling to balance time a lone for each of them
- Reading 10 books with two little ones on your lap
- Getting the boys on the same napping schedule, so you can have one yourself!
- No longer being ashamed to breastfeed anywhere, just to get out of the house
But mostly it's discovering that the BIGGEST scariest surprise of your life, turned into the BIGGEST BLESSING!
Is have two kids under 2 years, only 15 months apart hard work? Absolutely! But it also is absolutely amazing and I would do it over again if I had the chance.

What sweeties! You are so blessed. I think the "You got your hands full" comment would drive me bonkers though.

Thanks!
I can relate to quite a few of those! Mine are 19 months apart and even now (at 1 & 2) a lot of those things still apply.
ReplyDeleteI agree, two little ones are definitely more of a blessing than anything. :)
What beautiful blessings. I understand the ups and downs. It looks like you have become a master at juggling it all
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, I'm so sick of hearing that "you've got your hands full" comment everywhere we go....gah!
ReplyDeleteanyway, you are right on every account- 2 under 2 is the biggest surprise blessing ever!
What a delightful and inspiring post. This is what it's all about. Neat.
