Making the Jump from one to Two started out pretty easy. I honestly went into this whole
"second Baby" thing expecting the worst in every area...that way if it was hard...I wasn't taken by to much surprise and wasn't going to give myself a nervous break down. So when the first two weeks came and I was still functioning and doing okay emotionally....I was THRILLED! Well, then this week came a long and I was on my "own" during the evenings. For the most part....it went really well...only one night did Logan have 5 major melt downs....helped himself to my brand new baby soap for bubbles in the bathtub(THE WHOLE BOTTLE), and Pey Pey was pretty fussy every night from 8-11 but really...I could soothe her so I can't complain!

I think the Hardest thing for me with Two...is how much time I don't have for Logan right now and it breaks my heart. I feel so bad everytime he asks me to play with him and I am feeding sis or changing her or soothing her. Peyton is so needy right now and I just feel like poor Logan is getting the shaft! I would love to have one more kid someday but as of now...I am having a hard enough time stretching myself between two kids. I want to put as much as possible into my children....I want them all to get tons of time with Jason and I!! This is a very important thing to me!! So...we will see about having more kids! Not 100 percent on that yet:)
Peyton is a wonderful addition to our family though and i will learn how to put more time into Logan once she becomes a little less needy:) Jason is taking on the extra Logy time when he is home from work. So I know Logan feels loved. I just get all emotional when i think about Logan not getting enough of mommy! But we will pull through:) Just thought it was time for a little update from our lil' Motz family.

Great pics of the kids! Love them both so much.
I know what you mean. It was a hard adjustment for me too when Austin was born. As time goes on, it gets easier and you will find yourself giving Logan that "mommy time" you so were used to. You are a good mommy and I know Logan doesn't feel like he isn't loved. Hugs and "I love you" work when you can't give him anything else!
Love you!
I hear ya sista!!! It's so hard to juggle all that, isn't it?! I found having Maddie bring me diapers or sitting next to me when I was nursing and I would read a book, all helped her adjust. You are doing great!! Keep on keeping on, it does get better and you become a master at juggling both kids needs at the same time! :)
I am praying for you guys! :) Your family is so cute..you are one lucky mom! Hope it gets easier...I'm sure it'll be fine. :) God Bless you and your family!
Don't worry. Things will get a little easier as the kids get older. It's so hard having a new baby and an older child to care for. But as Peyton gets older, and she gets old enough to play with her big brother, he'll love it, and you'll love it when they are able to keep each other entertained. Hang in there, and don't get discouraged. I bet you're doing a great job!!
The pictures are beautiful. Try to not over analyze, this is a wonderful time and remember Logy got all that time at the beginning, just like Peyton needs it now :) It all balances out, and you are such a "love" to your family it is so good and so is Jason. Rest when you can, play as much as you can! Love you so much!
I have to leave another comment. This one is a cute one. Austin now recognizes Logan on the computer screen. Every time I pull your blog up and there is Logan, Austin points to him, goes uh and smiles! It's really cute! He loves his cousin!
