An appropriate title for the state of our family in the not-so-distant future.

Many of you have known for quite some time that our family is multiplying at an alarming rate.

I freely admit that there are moments when I feel completely overwhelmed at the thought of having two babies little more than 12 months apart. I suppose it's no worse than twins, but that's not something I wish for either. Don't get me wrong. I am thrilled to be having another child. Adam and I always knew that there were more spirits waiting to join our family, we just didn't realize that we are on someone else's time table.

It's all good. It's been done before by women for ages, right? Right. My own mother did the same exact thing when my younger brother was born 4 days after my first birthday, except she was only 20 years old. Baby Madison #2 will arrive shortly after my 30th birthday and you would be amazed how much less energy you have after a decade!

I do feel excited for this part of my life. I know it will come and go so fast and I will wonder where all my little babies have gone. I really want to enjoy them between twice the amount of crying & diapers and half as much sleep than I currently get.

over a mustache.

Like your mom, my mom had my older sister Nancy and then 11 months later me and my twin, Iris, were born. Talk about crazy, she had 3 children under 1 yrs old. No wonder they called it good after that.

Hang in there... The moments of doubt are brief between the smiles that they give - YOU CAN DO IT! I hear you on the lack of energy after a decade... I feel myself slowing down just as the kids are winding up!
