It's amazing how much time you don't have with 2 kids. I remember sending out pictures of Abby, I have neat organized photo albums, frames, and keepsakes, her baby book is crammed full & I don't think I've updated Taylor's pictures since well, January. Poor kid. Life with 2 kids is amazingly busy. I don't know how people do it with 3, 4, etc. They are just plain crazy, that's all I have to say. The second child is so different though. I am enjoying Taylor so much more then I think I did Abby's. I was just so scared of everything, was I doing everything right, everything clean, who was touching her, am I raising her to be an ax murderer, what's going on here, what's the next stage, when is this stage going to end, am I spoiling her to much, not enough?  My gosh I thought I was going to go crazy, plus making the transition from working woman to permanent housewife and mother was a HUGE adjustment. But with Taylor everything is different. Tayor, admittingly, is a very low maintenece baby, she is just wonderful, but I am not worried about spoiling her, I want to hold her all the time, I want to treasure every precious moment with her as a baby because man it goes by so damn fast! With Abby I just thought it would drag on forever! People told me that all the time, but you just don't really know I think until you have your second one. It is rough at times, but I am loving every minute of being a mom. I am so very very blessed.
