Love Being the Mother of Two




It is funny how when you are pregnant you really aren't sure what to expect with your second. I remember having thoughts like, "will I love him as much as I love Ez? will he be as cute as Ez?" and for all of you that are wondering the answer is yes to all of your questions. I have loved being a mother to two! Each moment with Luke is just as precious as when I was experiencing it with Ez (Actually to be totally honest, I think that because I was so overwhelmed with the whole baby thing the first time around I think that I am able to enjoy the preciousness of Luke even a little bit more). And they are so different from your first that you love them for completely different reasons and the same reasons too. I almost feel as though I wished away Ezzie's first couple of months because I was just excited to get him to the next phase. Luke's first couple of months seem to have flown by and it seems like I can't get enough of each stage. Also, there are definitely times it is easier to love a sweet little baby than a naughty little two year old.

you can tell that Luke and Ezra share a special bond. It's like they knew eachother before. It reminds me of Kesley and Logan. There is something about a second baby. The first is overwhelming and so i can see what you are saying when you say you don't want Luke to keep growing. You have a sweet family!

SO CUTE! I can't believe how big he's gotten! I feel the EXACT same way about number two. I feel like having two kids is easier and more wonderful than having one! I'm excited to hang out TONS the next few weeks! I'm SO excited that my friend is coming to see us!
