Mother of two;

So last night I was sitting there watching my little angel sleep when Peanut kicked. It dawned on me that soon I was going to be a mother of two. Two babies to take care of, love, play with, etc.. Two. I don’t know how different being a mother of two will be to being a mother of one but I can imagine it’s going to be completely different. It’s going to be so busy, so much more hard work. I’ve already been warned that I’ll have little time for myself in the beginning, but I’m sure I’ll manage. I mean I’ll have two beautiful little miracles and that would make up for any of the sleepless nights and struggles.
There are certain things I have done, or didn’t do, with Lilia that I want to change with Peanut. Like, Lilia wouldn’t take to my breast so I was unable to breastfeed her, I want to be able to breastfeed Peanut. Maybe not exclusively, I think I’ll want to pump as well so that James can do some of the night feeds, but I do want to give Peanut the best. I really regretted not being able to do so with Lilia, and I still do sometimes. I want to spend more time with my babies and do more with them, I mean I’ve played with Lilia but I’m yet to take her swimming. I want to do more activities, even if it’s just walking with them, it’ll make me feel better and I’m sure Lilia will enjoy it too. I don’t want her to be forgotten. A big issue for me is jarred food. They’re so useful when you’re going out or in need of a quick meal for your baby, but Lilia clearly enjoys fresh food more and I’m sure this baby will too. I don’t think I’ll stop using jars completely, but when Peanut is on solids I want to cook my own vegetables and stuff like I started doing for Lilia. Luckily with Peanut I will already be in my own house, with Lilia she ended up staying on jars because of being in a hostel, etc.
I don’t know what it’s going to be like, obviously, but I’m going to make the best of it and I’m really going to try my hardest to be a brilliant mother of two :}
