The past 9 days have been a crazy whirlwind! The first few days of Nolan's life were a bit hard because he wasn't loving the fact that my milk wasn't in. He was not a happy boy! The MOMENT my milk came, the little guy changed into a sweet little angel! Yayyy for that. He reminds me so much of Griff as a newborn now. He nurses great and quite often I might add! Sometimes hourly. Ugh. But I really do love it :) He can scream though and that is something Griff never did. He hates having a poopy diaper and cries as he poops and cries until you change him. Otherwise he is an awesome baby! He sleeps right next to me at night, all night, every night. I do this thing called "sleep nursing" as I call it. I basically side nurse him laying down and I sleep while he eats and then he falls asleep. It is amazing! I am not sleep deprived one bit! Plus, I love the cuddling and I think he needs to be near his Momma who he was close to for nine months. So, all is well as far as baby goes! Griff is kind of another story....
He LOVES the baby and doesn't resent him one bit. He just doesn't love that Mommy is busy and always telling him to hang on and wait. He likes to kiss Nolan, asks to hold him and is really gentle with him. It is so sweet! He tells me all the time "Nolan get bigger play tractors?" and "Nolan get bigger drive tractors?" etc. He talks about Nolan being bigger and playing with him, it's hilarious! Griff has regressed a little bit since the baby got here. He does things that he has never done before and says little naughty things to me that he has never said before. He has changed a tad but he is still my sweet, loving little boy. I am hoping that he adjusts soon but I also have to remember that he is entering the terrible 2's! Yayy!
As far as I go, I have been feeling pretty darn good (physically). Emotionally I am a little overwhelmed. I am terrified because my Mommy is leaving today :( I am just so scared about having 2 kids and not being a good Mom to both of them. I am SURE things will be fine but I can feel a postpartum meltdown coming on and poor Kason will probably receive the brunt of it, poor guy. Wish me luck ya'll! Mothers of more than one, advice is welcome!! Having a newborn and a 2 year old is a trip!

Hang in there girl. You will adjust. I don't know how it is to have two, but I know how it is after you have a baby and hang in there. You can do it. Are you going back to work?
All I have to say is now that tate is almost 3 months old life is a lot better. I have no advice except swear words up until now. It has been the hardest thing ever, I know that them being 13 months apart is a little bit of added stress, but I think you become a real mom when you have 2. with 1, they are like your accessory an dyou can do whatever you want still really... anyway, you will do awesome. I have my babies sleep right next to me to. It must have come from when we used to play "babies" when we were kids. ha ha. he is cute Jules. Let me know if you have any questions. love ya girl
What adorable pictures! I'm sure Griff will adjust soon and be back to his old sweet self. I am scared to have two, but we're thinking about doing it soon- EEEK! The first couple months are super hard, but it will be great before you know it. Hang in there! You'll do a great job!
You'll get used to it being hard. haha it's still hard for me and I've been dealing with 2 kinds for 11 months!! Just take it one day at a time. And don't worry about the meltdowns... I still have them almost weekly :) Soooo fun!! It sounds like you guys are doing good though... keep me updated! And keep these darling pictures coming! LOVE THEM!
