My Ebenezer

It’s just so surreal. We are parents. It is exhausting but so rewarding. People keep asking me how hard it is to take on a newborn and a two year old at the same time. Most people have two years to get to know a child and are used to having a two year old when they bring home a new baby. We got both at once. So, while we are adjusting to Speedy and meeting his needs, we are also caring for a newborn who doesn’t like to sleep between feedings at night. Is it hard?

Well, that’s a dumb question. Ofcourse it is! As we parent Speedy, we also get immediate rewards like hugs and “I of ouuuuu” and “mammmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee….” and “da eeeee”. Most people have to wait months for these types of reward but we get right away. His smile melts my heart.

And she is so tiny yet so determined. She already has a will of her own.
