Life the past two months has been absolute chaos, in the best way possible.
Though the exhaustion level is high and our patience has been tested, I cannot imagine life without these two little boys. Seriously, life is just so much sweeter with them.
I've had so many questions from friends expecting their second about what the transition from one to two has been like for our family.
The newborn phase is so fleeting, I've tried so hard to really soak it all up this time around. That's partly why the blog has been quiet- just trying to be completely present with our family.

Finn is 110% a different baby than his brother. I'm pretty sure he's going to be our trouble maker. He busts out of every swaddle and shows zero interest in sleeping through the night anytime soon. For the first month he nursed constantly, refused to sleep without someone holding him, and screamed through entire car rides. Kid was seriously crazy.

And you guys, Rowan has settled into his role as a big brother so well. He smothers Finn with kisses and hugs, loves to tickle him and repeats everything we say to Finn in the sweetest baby voice.

His genuine excitement to play with Finn, and Finn's big smiles when Rowan is near, makes my heart so, so happy.
I know, I'm being really sappy, but to those who are prepping for baby number two, know that the many sweet moments will far outweigh the tantrums. The newborn fog will lift but until then, hold your babies. Let the playroom be in shambles and dishes sit in the sink. Today is the smallest your babe will ever be again, so soak it all in mama!
aww this is such a sweet post and it makes me SO excited for baby F to arrive :) and I'll try to take your advice and soak up every minute with our little girl and try to forget about the laundry and dishes!! I'm so happy Rowan is loving his little brother -- he sounds like such a great big bro!
