So, its been a while sense my last post, and a lot has happened since then. But recently I have been thinking about the impact that I have on my two young kids. When I come home from work I am so excited to be home. As soon as I get home I am greeted by the world's best son and a daughter who gives me the biggest smile when she sees me.
Before I get home I am set on just playing with my kids and spending time with my spouse or letting my spouse work. I am so excited to see my family when I get home from work. When I walk in the door I remember that I forgot to do or finish the dishes, and vacuum, and do the laundry so we all have clothes to wear. So I start to clean, because it needs it and if I don't at least start on it, it will get worse. When its too late and I need to get the munchkins ready for bed I feel like I didn't spend enough time with them or I feel like an aweful mom because I could have done more with my kids. Then I have to get ready for bed myself and dread getting up the next day to go to work, when I would just love to stay home and spend it with my amazing family. My family that accepts me for me and loves me no matter what. I could NOT have asked for anything more or for a better family.

I was watching my son as he went over to get the finger of his Dad, and my husband, to pull him somewhere where he wanted to go. Only instead of pulling him somewhere it was just to pull him out of the seat that he was in so that my son could sit there. He is one smart little boy.

He loves his Daddy, but always wants Mom. We think he is a Momma's boy and our daughter is a Daddy's girl.

My son is so funny. My husband and I left him and our daughter, Alexa, with a friend of ours from our church ward. When we came back to get tthe my son, didn't really want to leave. Kim, the youngest, is about 12 years old. My son really likes her. She had him in her arms and we were trying to leave and he wouldn't come to me. So I told him bye and he waved to me and blew me kisses like he was going to stay with Kim. I was shocked. He usually doesn't like to feel like he is being left, but he didn't care this time. Thanks to Kim for watching him and being someone that he feels safe with.

I can say that I am really glad to be able to nurse my little one. I do feel awful that I am not making enough. I was told by a lactition specialist that if a baby doesn't get enough to eat they will sleep a lot to conserve energy. Alexa, was doing this. So now I pump when I can and feed her from a bottle and formula. I feel a little bit like a failure, but I am getting over this because I would rather have her eating and getting enough. She means more than my feeling like a failure.

 I love the fact that I can nurse and feed my baby. I feel like a real mom when I can. Sometimes, though I feel like a cow. All I am good for is milk. I guess that is the life. I think I am ok with this, or getting there. Nursing is also very cheap. The other thing is that I miss the fact that my husband can't help feed her either. Just me, unless I pump. I think he misses it too. It would be really nice to have him get up at night to help, but yet again, a mother's duty calls. I LOVE being a mom. My kids are the greatest in the world! I am very blessed with the kids that I have.
