It Finally Happened

I've been waiting for the moment since the day he was born. Each and every day I thought "this is it". It was me vs. him and until yesterday I was winning. I even found myself taunting him with my thoughts. "Go ahead and try it buddy", "Let's see if you are as quick as they say", "Mommy is ready for you!". Well, apparently I wasn't as ready as I thought. I got peed on. Let me just say in my own defense, it is impossible to change a diaper as quickly as I'd like to at this stage. If you've ever had an infant you're probably familiar with the mustard poo. It takes forever to get every little seed off of this kid in order to get rid of the dirty diaper and the clean one on. I'm seriously considering a pee pee teepee (google it!). Oh, and for the record, my Mom got hosed the day before I did so at least I wasn't the first. I'm proud to have made it 12 days! So last night was a record for sleep. Little man woke up at 12:30am to eat. I had him back to sleep at 1:15 and didn't hear a peep until 5:50. He made it close to five hours! He must have had a full belly. This kid can EAT. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up weighing more than Reese does by the time he's a year old. She had an appointment today and weighed in at 29 pounds so I'm sure that won't be too hard to beat. She better watch out! His cheeks have completely filled out and he has at least three chins. I have to keep up with the sponge baths because I'm scared of what will grow in between all of those folds if I don't. It's crazy! Tomorrow is the big day. I'm going to try to manage the morning on my own. I have to have both kids fed, dressed, and out the door by 7:45 to get Reese to school by 8. I'm scared. Real scared. Her clothes are laid out and I already got her breakfast request but I won't know until tomorrow whether or not she's in the mood to cooperate. Talan isn't on any kind of schedule at this point either so that should be interesting. A good friend gave me some words of wisdom the other day. She said that with two there are going to be times when one of them isn't going to be happy. Some days I'm just going to have to let Talan cry. And other days I might just have to keep Reese home from school. Things are going to be different from now on. We'll adjust....it just may be a bit insane in the meantime. I can't believe tomorrow will be two weeks since Talan came into our lives. I have to say that I am just so, so happy. I feel content and surprisingly I am very relaxed. Granted I've had a ton of help and haven't had to do it all by myself yet. I just can't even put into words how blessed I feel. I love my little family and I'm so happy that we are complete.
