My doctor told me while I was in labor that this was her favorite quote from a patient and I now totally subscribe to it too. Everything was easier and shorter this time around: labor, delivery, recovery, breastfeeding, the works. Instead of being totally worried about how to take care of a newborn, I just worried about how to split my time between two kids and how to meet both their needs. So in that way, I guess it's just a different set of worries. But Justin has been a sweet baby (no colic has set in yet-- knock on wood), and Joseph has been very good to Justin and very patient with me as I take care of a newborn's many demands. (I forgot how much they poop!) I am still getting used to saying that I have kids, plural. That sounds so crazy. But I feel so blessed to have another beautiful, healthy boy and to be a new mom again.

i totally agree!!! so much easier the 2nd time around. you can actually enjoy everything because you're not freaked out about what to do. that's great that joseph is being patient. it's the best when they start interacting and making eachother laugh. there is nothing better!
congrats again!
Look at how beautiful you look after just having a baby. If I ever get to have a baby, I sure hope that I look half that good. He looks so cute in your arms, I really like the croc outfit. I am so glad that it all went well, and Joseph looks like such a sweety, I am not suprised that he is doing so well with little Justin. Congrats on your growing family.
