More Maternal Today

I just re-read my last post.  I guess I was a little overwhelmed yesterday.  I am feeling more maternal today.  Of course we are excited about baby #2!  And I will figure out how to juggle it all.  S/he will probably be a little more calm than baby #1. And if s/he isn't, I'll recognize that from how Wyatt was and figure out what's wrong sooner... I think part of my nervousness is that I'm remembering the 24/7 screaming that was Wyatt before we figured out the milk/soy allergy thing.

Part of my issue yesterday was that before 1 p.m., all of the following had happened:
- I found many, many, many ants crawling all over the inside of my water dispenser in my very expensive latte machine and spent a good 25 minutes disinfecting it.  After I already drank my latte.
- My cat threw up all over our new area rug.  Twice.
- Wyatt decided to play "baseball" with my new roll of contact paper, and decided the ball would be one of our glass snowglobe type knicknacks. Of course it didn't survive, so then I got to clean up glass and water all over the floor.
- Wyatt was trying to "help" me clean up, so I busied him with some playdoh to keep him out of the glass. All this did was create more areas to clean up because now everything had playdoh stuck into crevaces. 
- And finally: Wyatt got up from a very messy lunch of tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich only to tell me, "Mommy, I need to change my pants."  Sweet.  So then I got to rinse out poopy underwear, poopy pants, a poopy shirt, and try to scrub off the caked on poop from his butt.

Fun times.  So you can see why maybe I was not feeling very maternal yesterday ;)

Anyway.  Today is much better.  Baby will be great, Wyatt will be great, and life will be good!

Oh my friend a mothers life will never be the same after one kid, two kids, three, etc... But you learn to cope, and i bet even today your looking back at yesterday and now laughing about it. Our lives are interresting but at the moment over whelming. When I am feeling a little down, I think about all the funny moments I have had with the kiddos, etc... Life is GOOD! Miss ya Robs
