I'm back! Took a nice break from the computer and "professional" life, and spent some quality time with my girls. My maternity leave absolutely flew by, and now I'm back to the grind.
It is absolutely amazing to me how different it is the second time around... there were no tears this time. I didn't have the fears this time. I just miss the girls like crazy! No crazy MIL issues. I went back and re-read some of my posts from when I went back to work after Maddy, and I just think it's funny how everything was such a big deal with her.
Emma is a wonderful baby. She has been sleeping through the night since she was 3 weeks old. I adore her. She's so relaxed and smiley, and she's totally a mama's girl. She's beautiful, and in a totally different way than her sister. And I really enjoy her because I'm not caught up in all the little things and details like I was with Maddy. Everything doesn't have to be perfect and every outfit doesn't have to stay clean. She's a baby, and her 2 year old sister wants to kiss her when she's got sucker-sticky lips. It's ok.
I love the mom I have become vs. the mom I was back then, and I'm proud of how far I've come and how much I have grown up in these couple of years.
