Looking Back...

So I just spent some time reading Ella's past posts on this blog. There is such a difference between those beginning posts, more than two years ago, the ones I leave now. In retrospect my experience with Ella was so intricately written about. I really took the time to appreciate every single moment of raising her and the life we were developing. I don't feel like I am doing that completely with Brenna. Everyone says it is different with the second child because you have two to take care of now. It really is true. I adore Brenna and ...okay let me just interrupt this blog by stating an obvious fact - it has taken me 20 min...now 25 minutes to write this much of the entry... Anyway, what I am trying to say is that it is a difficult thing to manage and still feel human on some days. Yes, there have been days that I look at myself and wonder when the last time I did something pampering for myself, i.e. paint my nails etc. My time is so stretched. Anyone with more than one child knows this. Even one child can do this. I guess...okay, it is now an hour and half later and I am going to bed! This is a great example of what I was trying to get at!!! Ahhhh...parenthood :)
