Real Life

I know that blogs usually give the highlights of life. All of the best parts and the exciting stuff. We've had quite a few people ask us what it's like to have two babies four months apart, though, so I thought I would give people a glimpse into our real, day-to-day life.

I love my life right now. I really feel so blessed. I was in such a dark place for so long that it is truly a breath of fresh air. I don't feel like I'm waiting for something to happen to make me happy. I'm just enjoying life one day at a time. That being said, raising two babies is definitely not for the faint of heart.

Our day starts early (often the babies are up between 5:00-6:00), and we go 100 miles an hour all day long with a few hours of blessed nap time where I can pick up the disaster that is our house. I have spit up all over my clothes at any given time, I no longer wear jewelry, I'm changing diapers ALL THE TIME, and my kids scream louder than any other kid I've met whether they are happy or upset. It is so loud in our house. So. Loud. Going anywhere is a huge production, and with two babies (who have a noticeably better tan than I do) we are quite the spectacle wherever we are. The babies aren't walking yet, so a simple trip to the bank leaves me sweating. When we're at home, I almost always have one baby in my arms and one baby crawling all over me. I also have to play referee to keep Isaac from biting Hunter's toes or slapping him in the face.

But I love it all. I'm exhausted all the time, but I couldn't be happier for the circus that is my life. These kids make me so happy, and I want to freeze time.

Life is very good. :)
