Double trouble

We're three weeks into our life as a family of four and things are going pretty well! Cora nurses like a champ, but always wants to show off, and basically can only be soothed by being held or nursing. Our pediatrician told me not to be a human pacifier, but I let the little lady do what she wants. Every now and then (mostly at night) a tight swaddle and pacifier will buy us a few hours, but during the day she's pretty much attached to me.

Ryker has been doing great with his little sister and lights up when they get in the same room together. He's had really bad allergies and a faucet for a nose, so they haven't been in very close proximity much, but he's given some good kisses and very sweet pats on the head. He's great at getting diapers for her and songs her songs when she's crying. 

I I have to say, I've had some trouble adjusting with ensuring both kids get my attention. I'm sure it's just mom guilt, but I worry about not keeping up my relationship with Ryker when I can't help him with stuff or pick him up because I'm holding Cora. For this reason, I make sure that as soon as I can put her down he has my full attention and gets lots of cuddles! He's so great at playing on his own that I don't think he really notices much. The kid is obsessed with Legos, they've been a God send, at least until they're stuck together and he gets frustrated, or we step on one (ouch!).

I'm trying to make a point of getting in great quality meals at home, but I'm basically surviving off of ProBar protein bars and coffee. #Momlife

Our life hasn't really changed too much besides being back to carrying a diaper bag and lugging the car seat around! I'd kill for an extra couple hours of sleep and a cleaning lady, but I know things will get back to a version of normal soon enough. Happy Thursday everyone, I'm pretty sure that's what day it is...right?
