Apres moi, le deluge
This morning, I can say, was the first time I felt the whole “oh…you’ll never sleep, ever, with a new baby”. Kyle sleeps very well, but I do not. Around 6:00 a.m. Paige decided she was only happy being held, rather than in her crib…so we sat and fell asleep as the sun came up this morning. And, it started all over again.
As tired as I am, I made something of this day. Better to be busy, always better to be busy. It’s amazing how much there is to do as a stay at home mother of twins (I say “stay at home” with a temporary reference…as it won’t be long). I didn’t even brush my teeth until 10:30 a.m….which is LATE LATE LATE for this early bird.
It stopped raining, and my day looked a lot like this:

So…with everyone else passed out throughout the afternoon, I thought, hey…let’s try and feel “pretty” again. After swiffering the house, smothering everything in Lysol (because that’s what I do, all day long), I took 20 minutes to tend to myself. Not too shabby. I sort of miss getting all nice for work every morning. Breaking out the hair crap reminded me of this. But I also miss staring at my little girls. So…back to them I go.

Hello. I'm Katelyn, a 25 year old wife, mother of twins, artist, and idea-factory. During the day, some might call me a "hit-the-ground-running" Administrative and Marketing Professional. In this space, I chronicle the nitty gritty details of balancing a full time career, new motherhood and all quirks of being a young wife in Ohio. I enjoy challenging the traditional views of a homemaker and my driving force is PASSION. If you enjoy random photos, digital media, moody quotes, or appreciate raw and witty sarcasm, you might want to stick around.

You seem to be doing great! I was super/crazy productive during the first few weeks of Everly being home, despite being more tired than I’ve ever been. I’m pretty sure it was the hormones/anxiety but it was insane. By the time it wore off, we were (so lucky) that she was sleeping through the night already. I fear for my life with this next baby.
I love how you’re dressing the girls. So cute! Doing great, Mama! Looking cute, too.
