Not gonna lie these last couple of weeks have been difficult. Two kids is a lot more difficult than one, duh! The first week was great. Mark was into Molly and he was still really happy and fun, but then the second week rolled around and he realized she's not going anywhere. That's when the "Mommy complex" started. I can't pick him up for a couple more weeks because of the C-section so it's been really hard when he wants me to pick him up and console him and he doesn't understand that Mommy is recovering from major surgery.
But the last few days have been promising...Mark started preschool which, aside from morning drop offs, he's really enjoying. Molly's settling into a pretty predictable routine and for a 3 week old she's sleeping well. Going down around 10:30pm or 11pm and sleeping until 3:15am and then back up around 6:20-6:30am. Not too shabby...although I'm able to rest during the day while she's napping, having a two year old and a newborn is proving to be quite exhausting!!! Especially since our sweet little boy who USED to sleep until 9 am wakes around 7:15 am every morning ready to play :)
It's been fun though we've finally figured out when to have Mark time while Molly's asleep. While Molly's awake, Mark loves playing "where'd Molly go?" , which yes does entail a blanket over Molly's face. Don't worry we're near by :) We can tell he really is starting to love his sister. It's rewarding seeing our family grow and bond more and more everyday. Although this has been a tough few weeks, I wouldn't change anything about where we are right now.
