6 weeks and counting!

----------------

I found this post, unpublished from Amelia's birth. I liked it, so I'm sharing it now.

-----------------

Just checking in to share some photos and let people know we're alive!

I've struggled to post, not because I don't have awesome photos to share and sweet moments to document, but because I don't want to paint a perfect picture that's not entirely true, or be Debbie downer about all the hard times we have, too. So here's the truth!

The truth is that we have the sweetest little munchkin, I can't even believe it.

Truth is, Ryan is adjusting, but he's really a good kid. I've seen his highest highs and his lowest lows in the past 6 weeks. Truth is, he's seen mine, too. :)

Truth is, Baby Amelia likes to sleep. We've had our bad nights, for sure, but once I gave up sugar, chocolate, and mexican food, she's been sleeping 5-6 hours and then another 5-6 hours. And lots of naps in between.

Truth is, when we tell everyone how good Amelia is, she usually starts being fussy and crying. Touche.

Truth is, I'm not going to win mom of the year anytime soon. Really. Ugh, I'm humiliated at the way I've handled plenty of moments.

Truth is, my kids hopefully won't remember those moments, and will remember the times that Dada comes home to tickle
