I try to read to both of them at the same time, but of course Reese can't/won't sit still and Lauren wants LONG books. Reese power nurses for like an hour before bed so putting her to bed first is out - or I am helpless for an hour. I love laying and snuggling with Lauren but it just doesn't happen every night.<br /><br />I too am waiting for it to get easier - and quicker. It takes us a good hour to do books, bath, and fall asleep. (And Lauren is always SO HUNGRY! at bedtime too!)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425160059270976824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404768051127191583.post-48301476168466737852014-02-21T08:03:08.483-06:002014-02-21T08:03:08.483-06:00That was always one of the biggest challenges in t...That was always one of the biggest challenges in the early days when A. was out of town. I remember one time there was a scheduled power outage from 6-10 pm and I didn't have my white noise (don't take my white noise from me!) and had to do things by flash light. It worked out just fine, of course, but OMG. It doesn't SEEM like it should be that hard and yet it is. <br /><br />Like the other moms said - it gets way easier with time. (Though I'm still pretty zapped by the end of the day.)Navigating the Mothershiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02174295191363694422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404768051127191583.post-76111203767157687482014-02-21T07:36:08.010-06:002014-02-21T07:36:08.010-06:00This is exactly how I envision life with two - man...This is exactly how I envision life with two - many frantic hands doing different things to appease both kiddos. God forbid you actually want time to eat yourself.

I remember feeling especially conflicted when A was born b/c I didn't want L to feel shortchanged. Eventually my babies end up going to sleep earlier (6:30 pm) than the "big kids" (7 pm) so it's easier to focus on them during their bedtime routine. But I remember feeling like an octopus too ;) It will get easier though, I promise!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929850176678535570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404768051127191583.post-49289766316510865482014-02-21T02:11:13.564-06:002014-02-21T02:11:13.564-06:00It gets better pretty quick!

It's still challenging alone but better now than before. Tonight I had a high school girl come babysit Anna while I just had Ethan and it was a nice break and well worth the $. She's coming twice next week. Hang in there!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16000855909928637073noreply@blogger.com
