Life With Two Girls

November 10th, 2010 . Posted in bySarrahbaby | No Comments »

So as of August 26th I am a mommy of two girls and Amber is a big sister! I was worried about how Amber would react to not being the only child anymore. She has always had all of the attention from EVERYONE! Not only that but she rarely is around other kids so she is not used to having to share her toys. So when Elizabeth finally got to come home Amber was so confused. She loves Elizabeth to death. She will walk up and give Elizabeth kisses and hugs but she does NOT like it when other people are holding her. If someone is holding Elizabeth, Amber will get upset and either whine or cry until they pick her up to or put Elizabeth down. Although she is jealous, Amber also does not like to hear Elizabeth cry. Whenever Elizabeth cries it really upsets Amber. So I do not know what the normal interaction is for a toddler having a new baby in the house but I think she is doing pretty good.

I love being a mommy and I love both of my girls with all of my heart…BUT….I feel like I am losing my mind. I spend some of the time at night and some time during the day crying because I just get so frustrated. I do not know how to take care of both of their needs at one time. I always feel bad when I am feeding Elizabeth and Amber needs something because I cannot help her right at that moment….BLAH Hopefully it will get better soon.

Her kiddo(s) is/are… Amber and Elizabeth 

 Her location is… Fort Walton Beach, FL 

 How old are you now and how old is/are your munchkin(s)?  I am 20 and Amber is 18 months old and Elizabeth is 2 months old

If you could describe your child in 3 words, what would they be? Amber is hyper, adorable, and sassy. Elizabeth is sleepy, quiet, and young.

What’s an average day like for you these days? I wake up. Feed Amber and Elizabeth and Myself. Then I turn on cartoons for Amber for like 30 mins even though she rarely pays attention to them. Then I start on the housework for the day and wait for the hubby to get off work. After that I get dinner, bathe the little ones, put them to bed and then its either time with the hubby or sleep time.


If you had a day all to yourself (kid-free & lottery-financed), how would you spend it?  SHOPPING SPREEEEE lol for me and the hubby. I never get to shop 🙁

 


What do you feel you have enough of in life? What do you want more of? Less of?

How “blended” is your family? Are you still with the dad(s) of your kid(s)? Who has whose last name in the family? I am still with the father of my children. We got married this past April and the kids have his last name, as do I.

What are some of your big pet peeves? People who stereotype me because I am a young mom and people who cause a lot of drama.


What are the most unique things about yourself? I can honestly say I am still finding myself other than being a wife and mom so I’ll get back to you. 

And finally, what’s your writing/blogging history and style? I am just starting to do this so I am just going to write what happens in life.

I feel like I have enough good people i n my life and I could use more me time lol but that wont happen for awhile haha.What would you say your parenting style is like? I’m pretty laid back about most things. I want her to learn and explore. If I know it is bad for her I wont let her do something or touch something otherwise the house is free to her.

Her kiddo(s) is/are… Aubrey

 Her location is… Huntington, Wv

How old are you now and how old is/are your munchkin(s)? I am 20 and Aubrey is 14 months 8/23/09

If you could describe your child in 3 words, what would they be? tiring, smart, beautiful

What’s an average day like for you these days? Right now I am in school M-F going to my local University. We typically wake up by 7am, Aubrey gets dropped off at daycare shortly after, and I go to my 8am classes. yuckk! I am a full time student so I’m there till about noon everyday. From noon- 3ish I get by homework done so I can spend lots of time with Aubrey when I pick her up at 330. Sean, my fiance, is a manager for the Marshall football team so he’s normally at the field until at least 8 or 9pm.

If you had a day all to yourself (kid-free & lottery-financed), how would you spend it?  I would definetly still be in school, school is very important to me and my family. but on the fun side of things I would definetly enjoy a HUGE shopping spree! my favv

What would you say your parenting style is like? I’m pretty strict when it comes to certain things. I see many parents giving their little ones soda and greasy foods and I’m still not allowing that; she is still on milk and juice. But being the only child I’d say I probably spoil her a little more than I should.

What do you feel you have enough of in life? What do you want more of? Less of? I think I have enough work in my life. I feel with school, parenting, and keeping my household clean I have something going on constantly. I could defintly use a free cleaning lady! lol

How “blended” is your family? Are you still with the dad(s) of your kid(s)? Who has whose last name in the family? Sean is not Aubrey’s biological father. He has been there for me since I was one month pregnant though so I consider him to be more of a dad than her biological dad Ryan is. Ryan wanted nothing to do with me nor Aubrey during my pregnancy. Now he has her every Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon. He has gotten better but honestly I think she goes over there more for Ryans parents benefits rather than his own. But Sean is the best dad I could ever ask for and hopefully someday Aubrey will see the same thing I do. She even calls Sean “dada” now!

What are some of your big pet peeves? People who are rude when I’m ordering food. I once went to Starbucks and had the employee sit and stare at me for 3 whole minutes before saying a word to me. I guess she was waiting on me to say something, but its her job to ask me!

What are the most unique things about yourself? I think I’m unique just by being a young responsible mom. I fight the not so great teen mom stereotype everyday as I’m sure most of you do too. I see many moms out there partying instead of staying home with their children and I want to beat those odds by making something of myself not only for me but for my daughter too.

And finally, what’s your writing/blogging history and style? I’m honestly not sure how or what I’m going to say. I’m just going to go with the flow and write things from the heart that I feel have meaning to them. Some may be sad, funny, serious, who knows what I have in store for you to read!
