We always planned to have 3 kids, after our first I needed time to figure things out as I loved on our little girl. We traveled and enjoyed being parents and figuring out what to do. Around 18 months later I decided I was ready to have another baby, we tried for months but my cycle was all messed up and I knew something was wrong.
After speaking with my OB we decided I would take progesterone based on low blood work and an at home test that indicated low progesterone. The next cycle I was pregnant with baby #2! Baby boy was born almost 3 years after our little girl. By the time he was a year we began trying again, unsure of how long it would take.
Baby #3 arrived before our middle guy turned 2! We are now a family of 5 and life just seems to be constant chaos. The baby is getting ready to crawl, our 2yr old is an little Tasmanian devil and our oldest choose when she wants to listen. It’s exhausting, I honestly don’t know if I could be more tired e v e r y s i n g l e d a y!!!
Naps don’t overlap and the baby seems to have FOMO like my oldest. Everything distracts him from eating, sleeping, etc. Plus our kindergarten schedule completely messes up nap time. Life is just a lot right now and I am trying to hang on.
I don’t want to wish away this time though, it is special. Our daughter is such a sweet girl and adores her brothers, our middle guy is wild and fun and keeps us all entertained (even when we are losing our minds), and the baby brings so much joy to our house as babies tend to do. I already miss the newborn stage, but also long for the walking stage. I look forward to seeing my babies grow while still wishing I can hold them tight and keep them this little forever.
It’s quite the emotional roller coaster us parents ride, and I don’t want to get off for a second.
