Let's just say it's definitely hard work but I LOVE it! The first few nights Eva didn't sleep well, but now she is doing much better. She will sleep for about 3-4 hours and wake up for a feeding. At times, I have to wake her! She is still having a hard time sleeping her in bassinet, she sleeps much better cuddling with me or in her swing. Natalie is getting better with her, she pokes, snuggles, tries to steal her blanket, blinky, or bottle, she even tries to put her finger in Eva's mouth. This past week, has been quite an adjustment for our family. But as we go from day to day, it does get better as we have a routine of doing things. Natalie still takes naps, and goes to bed at the same time, we were worried that she wouldn't because of having a new baby sis home. Running errands with both girls can be a challenge, especially since we don't have a double stroller yet. Natalie is walking but she doesn't always follow us when we are out, so I have to hold her hand or carry her and also carry the car seat. I don't mind running errands but wow! What hard work it is with 2 instead of 1! I love being able to be at home with them! What a blessing they both have been for us. At I watch Natalie's progress, I am in awe with what she is interested in, what keeps her attention, I love to watch her explore and interact with others. She is definitely not shy! She definitely keeps us on our toes!

I love having my kids so close. It gets easier some days and harder others but its so fun!! They are such good friends and love each other so much. I run errands by myself though.
