Guilty Mommy

The past 2 weeks of a mother of 2 under 2 have been a whirlwind. Some days are better than others. That depends on how much sleep I get and how well my toddler naps. Everyday at some point I am overwhelmed with guilt. Am I paying enough attention to Max? Should I be holding Maddie more? Did I even kiss my husband today? I know it will get better. I am trying to take in every moment of this precious time of my life.

I am so blessed to have such a supportive family that have come to help me during these first 3 weeks. It is wonderful to have them here to play with Max while I am trying to rest or nursing Maddie. The doctor told me to take advantage of the help, because I'll miss it. :o) Here is a picture of what a "guilty mommy" looks like. Lovin' my Moby wrap because it allows me to comfort my newborn, and be hands-free to play with Max.

Mommy and her babies

Everyone says you don't do as much with your second. While that might be true, I am trying to do things with her that I never got around to doing with our first born. One of those is newborn pictures. We had a wonderful photographer come to our home and take pictures of Maddie. Max kind of stole the spotlight with his adorable smile. I wish he would have posed for a picture with his little sister more.Maddie did a great job being a super model for the day. Here are some photos from the photo shoot. I can't wait to see them and I'll post some pictures soon.
