I was just thinking about how quickly you adjust to life with kids. One day you're going out all night without a care in the world and the next you're an incubator and the next you're a mom. With a little human to haul around and care for and feed and teach.
Suddenly you life revolves around something else. The nap schedule dominates your day, how long you can stay at the store, or how many errands you can run in one trip. They need food, you need food. You need sleep. Oh boy do you need sleep.
Then one day it is just what you do. Blink you have 2 kids and its not that much more complicated, you just take a little more time to load everyone in the car but, heck, you did it with one, whats the big deal. You suddenly find yourself forgetting what it was like to go out in the evenings without LOTS of planning, you forget what it was like before this tiny human was climbing over you all day, asking for hugs and telling you she is 'nunny' for crackers. Your life adjusts, its bigger now. Better. Yes definitely better.
Thats what I keep telling myself as my son wakes up at 4am. It goes by fast and it gets better everyday. Anyone can survive a few years without sleep, but a lifetime with out hugs from tiny humans is a whole other loss.
As I wrote that last sentence, I thought of all the people I know who are struggling to have babies. It is such a blessing and I am not unaware of your struggle. You can borrow my children any day! I wish I could do more.
