Small update

I guess updating my blog isn't as easy when I'm typing one-handed all the time!

The last few weeks have passed, and Anna is growing as every baby does. She's becoming more alert and having more happy/content periods throughout the day. She smiles and coo's back and me and it just melts my heart! I'm trying to savor every moment, because I think back to Abigail, and I barely remember all of this.

Abby seems to be feeling left out more lately. She is clinging to me more and requesting me for bathtime and bedtime. It's hard, because I'm not always available to do it, when I'm nursing Anna. I also need a bit of a break on days that DH is at work. I'm with them 24 hours a day without a break most days, so I appreciate when I can take just one or the other and spend some one-on-one time. I'm still finding it's hard mentally, to balance both girls. How do I split my attention between them equally without feeling guilty? Anna is so dependent on me and yet, I used to be able to devote all of my time to Abby. I feel guilty when I ignore one to pay attention to the other. It must get easier, because so many people go on to have more than 2 children!

In other news, my mother-in-law is coming to visit in just over a week! She hasn't met Anna yet, so it will be exciting to have her around for a few days.

On a final note, I just have to say - I can't wait for spring! I'm starting to go nuts being couped up inside the house everyday. I just want to get out in the sun, and breathe some fresh air!
