I seriously give you mad props for surviving with a newborn and a toddler by yourself most of the time. I had enough trouble on maternity leave just with the newborn! The amount of effort it takes to get them to sleep like 10 times a day is so draining, and then with the 3 year old antics... hoo boy. Just to hopefully make you feel less guilty, you seriously give Ryann SO much attention - tons of it. She is getting lots of your time and hopefully she adjusts to not having 100% access to you at all times anymore soon!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928807868790599467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-42291205500232027592013-03-12T15:11:56.667-05:002013-03-12T15:11:56.667-05:00Phew, what a busy life!!

All at times I know you don't feel it, you are such a strong woman!! You are a great mother - I can just tell by reading this!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014839730780320633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-55806182589766853742013-03-12T14:19:57.006-05:002013-03-12T14:19:57.006-05:00I used Rock N Plays with my girls and I dreaded th...I used Rock N Plays with my girls and I dreaded the idea of moving them out of it but it was a breeze. They both just outgrew it and adjusted naturally to their cribs! Hopefully it's the same for Elsie :)Alisha Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09076193164684950589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-440938110374952162013-03-12T12:43:51.247-05:002013-03-12T12:43:51.247-05:00Loved this post!

And Ryann looks so big with her ponytail!

I remember all too well what that felt like, down to the spitty baby, because Aiden was a spitty baby when Riley was a toddler.<br /><br /><br />All I can say is what you already know, it's a season and it passes oh so quickly. It feels like a millennium when you're in it though. Just follow your gut like you're doing and I know you'll come out the other side stronger for it.<br /><br />And sleep will come eventually. It took Aiden almost three months to sleep longer than two hour stretches so I wish for you a much speedier good night's sleep than that! Amber E.
