Thank You Helpers!

I try and do it all by myself.  That's what a "strong" mom would do.  Most days, I manage pretty well.  But, it's not until I have help that I realize how hard being alone really is.  Thank you Nadia for pointing out that asking for help is strong.  It's not in my nature - at all!  I think I should be able to do everything my self.  I'm sure this is just one of many lessons I will learn being a mom.

Over the past few weeks many of you have stopped by and offered to help hold babies.  Although I didn't think I needed the help, I realize after you leave, just how energizing it is to be with other adults - and to have an extra set of hands.  You may not feel you are doing much, but your company is more help than you know.  I had no idea how quiet things can be when spending 10-11 hours alone.  It's not actually quiet, but without interaction with adults, it can be quite isolating.  

Also - when someone is here to hold one baby, I can actually spend time with the other baby.  Their individual time with me is limited as I am mostly putting out fires all day - putting one down, picking up the other -and within 5 minutes, doing the same thing again.  The gift of your time is allowing me to get to know my kids as individuals.  

That's about as sentimental as I get.

I don't have photos of everyone- You'll just have to come back!!!!!
