Knee Deep in Life.
Sometimes I feel knee deep in life, that like Anna I need to just stop and put on some boots to wade through it all. My bathtub is leaking, my sink needs replacing, the woods floors are going to have to be replaced and most of them redone. That's leaving out all the little things that were left undone. Did I mention I am coming up on being 3 weeks away from baby number 2 arriving?
My stress level is really rising along with my anxeity of how in the world I am going to do all of this. My mom's consulation was it could be worse! Well thanks a lot but does that advice ever really make anyone feel better? I didn't think so. My friend Olga who's a new mommy with 2 kiddos now says you really have to take it one day at a time and it will be really hard but it eventually gets better. That made me feel a bit better. I just wish all the stuff with the house was finished b/c since it isn't means it will be going on after I have a c-section and am trying to breastfeed and I think breastfeeding in front of strangers is so fun too.LOL I know some people don't mind it but it's definetley not on my list of things to do!
Anyway I could really use some prayers from whoever takes the time to read this. I read a blog title before and it said "read by tens of people each day" I thought wow she has 10 people who actually read her blog! She said it as a joke but I think total that's probably how many people have ever read my rantings. So those of you reading this pray for me you may be the only prayer I get today.
Thanks

I'm 5 weeks away from Baby#2 so I understand!
I READ THIS! I always come and check on you dear! Baby #2 is hard, but it gets better...your friend is right. Just try to enjoy those first few weeks, because, man oh man...pretty soon they're not so tiny anymore!
My first time reading, but not my last time praying for you! Put those boots on...

China has many boys as well as girls. my agency http://www.iaapadoption.com. they should have a new waiting child list soon.you don't have to have a homestudy done yet to be matched just the desire and ability to finish the adoption. my site

good luck Bonnie
about your blog... one day at a time . "accept the things you can not change and change the things you can not accept" do what you can and then give the rest up to God to handle.. Enjoy all these days of your life with your kids... no one IMPORTANT will remember that your floors were in need or that your laundery waited days.. the time really does fly by so quickly... relax... deep breath and maybe some chocolate... good luck Bonnie from ny
I have two kids that were born 26 months apart. Everyone told me how hard it would be, but I honestly felt the adjustment to 2 children was easier then the initial adjustment to having my first baby. Best wishes to you on that transition! Time flies, so even if it's difficult at first it will go by fast.
