OVERwhelmed...

Hey we are still alive over here :) It's funny how you forget what it's like to have a newborn, well... till' you have one again. It's such a beautiful and wonderful experience. I simply feel overwhelmed at the moment, but in a good way. I feel so full of EMOTION!!! My emotions are UP, DOWN , SIDEWAYS, you name it!!! It's something we like to call HORMONES! Blast them. One moment I'm crying because I'm so HAPPY. Then next moment I'm crying because I'm tired, and I have no reason to be sad, but sometimes I cry because I feel sad! HA. At least I know it will all balance out! Right?? Please???!!

We absolutely LOVE and ADORE our sweet little Charlotte. I love her sweet little body and her sweet little sounds. And Paisley is doing so much better than I anticipated. She's such a great helper, and she seems so BIG to me now!! How is it that I could carry her around the whole time I was pregnant with no problem, and now I feel like when I lift her up she is A GIANT!!? Either she's a giant or Charlotte is a PEANUT!!

Also, Paisley OVERWHELMS LITTLE CHARLOTTE WITH SO MUCH LOVE!!!! It melts my heart to see her kiss her baby sister's sweet face. Oh, and she calls her 'SUGAR' and it's the cutest thing ever.

Life as we know it is now changed and I couldn't be more grateful. I feel such a responsibility with my two kids to teach them what's right and be a good mother. AND THAT is a little OVERWHELMING! I have to take it one day at a time. I feel so blessed to have my baby girls. They bring so much happiness to Wes and I.

My mom was able to be here with us for 2 weeks!!!! WOW. It was such a great time with her here. She's such a great help and we ALL love her SO MUCH!!! She gave me a book that is called "someday"... I'VE READ IT OVER AND OVER AND EACH TIME I JUST WEEP :) I LOVE YOU MOM!






WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL FOR OUR LIFE. IT'S CRAZY RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT SO GREAT!!

Oh I feel for you! For me it got better right around 8-10 weeks so hang in there. It actually is a breeze as soon as she can sit up. They are so cute though Ashley!

I totally understand how you feel! It's difficult/fun with one but when you add another to the mix, it gets a little crazy! But it does get better! You have two very cute girls!

Courtney said...

You are to cute Ash. The pictures of the girls are beautiful. Two is a big change but it sounds like your doing great with the new addition to the family. We had to lock Joel in his room so he could have a break from all Lila's love once in awhile. We miss all of you and think about you often. The other night at dinner time Lila prayed Lil C . She is dying to see her new little cousin.

Paisley is such a cute big sister! Oh my! I wish I was there to help and play. When are you coming to AZ next? I can't wait to see this little Charlotte girl.

I have been thinking of you guys often. I need to take Paisley for a play date...do you think 3 car seats will fit in the back? I can't wait to meet 'sugar'. Please let me know if I can do anything.
