It's All Worth It

These past few weeks have been hard. I am not going to lie :)

Brooke has been extra emotional and demanding, and on top of typical newborn stuff ... Ryan has had a cold. That means he needs to sleep in an upright position (has been in carseat and swing) and is generally miserable due to the fact he cant breathe.

Sometimes I wonder what I have gotten myself into. Both kids cry at the same time. Brooke wants me to pick her up when I'm holding Ryan. She wants me to sit on the floor and play with her while Ryan is in the middle of a screaming fit. How do I manage all of it?

I'm sure we will all figure it out as the weeks go by. I know it will get easier, but when I am in a moment (like those described above) I just simply cannot see how I will get through it all. Then, there are the little things that make it all better.

Ryan was laying on my lap sleeping and Brooke was next to me watching a video on the laptop. She leaned over, kissed the top of his head and said
"I love you Ryan"
