My First Post...

This is my first child who after a day or two used the restroom outside. I was in love with this baby whose name is Lyla. She was cute and well behaved. I had been married for the typical year when the mommy time clock started ticking, so we got a dog. I was happy for about six months then the delusions of having a baby started again. I begged and begged my husband to have a child and against his warnings and better judgment he finally agreed.  The wonderful thoughts of wearing cute maternity clothes and having a pregnant glow went down the toilet along with my breakfast fast. I was sooo sick the entire 9 months and then the birth was a nightmare. My son Ryan the 3rd was in the NICU for a week, two hours from where we lived. I was in so much pain I did not bond with him.  Then postpartum, colic, horrible sleeper and my imaginations of a perfect baby and family suddenly became reality. I was a mom. My son is 2 now and I love him more than I thought I could love a child.  I now also have a daughter named Emma who is 4 months old and the newborn nightmare is back. Postpartum, bad sleeper and colic. I have the wonderful thought that gets me through this time which is one day she will be 2. Hooray!! I wanted to start a blog to share the everyday laughs and tears of having 2 under 2, a dog and a husband who sometimes I think is 2. Hope you enjoy the insane and sometimes mis-spelled ramblings of a sleep deprived mom.
