Whee! Here We Go...

I'm here, just got waylaid a bit by childbirth! So, everything went really well and it was kind of like going on the giant scary roller coaster and then wahoo! You get off of it and feel exhilarated and tired and a multitude of emotions all at once. The sleep deprivation is hard for sure, but for some reason it's not as shocking to my system as it was the first time around. Go figure.

Zoe Skye is fabulous and she is a cute little bundle who changes a tad daily. She looks so much like her sister did at this age that it's uncanny-you can't tell them apart in pictures. London is doing really well with the introduction of a new family member. It must be hard to have someone else taking up mommy and daddy's time, but she's hanging in there. Afternoons are no fun but they were always challenging, so let's not jump to conclusions and say that it's about the loss of a spotlight.

One thing I will say is that she's only 2 and should not be expected to suddenly act like a "big girl"or take on "big sister responsibility" just yet. How can you expect that of a little person who's only been here for two years? Ridiculous! They are both babies in their own ways and while I'm one for a certain amount of discipline and not spoiling or coddling children, I think right now London needs extra love and that does equal more "uppies" from mom and dad.

Roxy took the new addition without batting a single fabulous white eyelash! She is a rock star dog and is gentle with both girls. By the way, she never became "just a dog". Just wanted to dispel that oft used and ill-named myth that does not apply to our four-legged family member. You can call this a vent post if you like, but it needed to be said. Ha ha! All is well and we are blessed. Now if we can just get more than two hours sleep at a time, we'll be in business.
