Harper has been so much fun to have in our family! People always told me you love all your kids equally and I always had a hard time believing it, as bad as that sounds. BUT it is so true!!!!! I love my girls so much and it is a much different love then I have ever felt. Having Harper has really made me realize how fast kids do grow up. I look at her sometimes and feel like I am holding Kinsey when she was this age, and now Kinsey is a busy, active, talking toddler!
My days feel like hours but I am trying my best to take everything in and just enjoy my life :) I will admit I feel into a bit of deep depression right after delivering Harper. When we got home I was expecting everything to be perfect and run smoothly but it was quite opposite. Kinsey got VERY sick, then Harper got sick, then the holidays were so busy and then I started school just 3 weeks after delivering so I just had ZERO time to relax and enjoy MYSELF. I finally feel like I am coming back to my normal self and feeling pretty good :)
Our daily routine is very organized and I am quite proud how smoothly my day goes with school, the gym, 2 kids, a puppy and house to take care of lol. This is a typical day:
5am: I get up and go to the gym
6am: I come home and get in the shower and start getting ready for the day while my coffee is brewing lol
7am: Harper starts to wake up and this is her first feeding of the day
sometime between 730-8 Kinsey wakes up
745am: Im out the door on my way to school and Brandon gets some one on one time with the girls
945am: I get home and clean up from the morning and get some chores done
10am: Harper eats and Kinsey gets a morning snack, then I get the girls dressed and ready for the day
1130am: Harper lays down for a nap and Kinsey and I play
1230pm: Lunchtime for Kinsey and I
1pm: Kinsey lays down for a nap and Harper eats and then her and I snuggle and play :)
2pm: Harper lays down for a nap and I run around trying to clean house or do homework
3pm: Kinsey wakes up and we watch Sesame Street while she eats a snack
330pm: Harper eats
5pm: I start cooking dinner while Kinsey plays and Harper lays down for a nap
545pm: Dinner time for Kinsey and I
6pm: Harper eats then we all play together as a family
7pm: Harper gets a bath
730pm: Harper lays down for a little nap
8pm: Kinsey gets in the bath and goes to bed
830pm: Harper eats and this is her last scheduled feeding for the day, then goes to bed. This is when I finish homework, or housework
9-930pm: I go to bed!! lol
I am quite busy during the day and dont have much time for anything else but I love it!! I get to spend so much time with my girls and I wouldnt trade that for the world :)
Here are some things Harper is now doing:
*this girl has a smile on her face ALL the time :)
*she is very talkative and will keep me up for hours in the middle of the night if I allow it
*she is so laid back..she doesnt require a lot of attention
*her favorite thing to do is lay on her back and play with her sister
*heaven forbid if I leave her on her stomach for too long, I get yelled at for that lol
*she sleeps 7 straight hours at night and sleeps SOOOO good, she is quite noisy though haha I cant turn on the monitor or else I would be up all night.
*Harper is a champ with a bottle. She will drink 3+ oz in about 7 min or less lol I started her on a bottle sooner then I did with Kinsey so we wouldnt run into any problems... I learned the hard way with Kinsey!
*She is now wearing size 0-3 month clothes. (I still have her wear size newborn onsies because they still fit and I just cant accept the fact she is growing up...tear.)
She is such an easy and happy baby and is loved so much!
