Exactly how I felt (and still feel) after my second. And he was the colicky screaming nightmare, but even so - minus the weight of the post partum depression, it felt like heaven. He is a supremely grumpy 1 year old now and it still feels that way. Enjoy, it gets better and better.. my girl is also a wonderful big sister. I feel like he completed me in a way I would never have been without him. I get it. Bless you guys.

And now my pregnant self is a weepy mess in my office chair.

Droning mommyblogger, whatever. Still keeps me laughing my ass off.

Wicked cute video, too. Don looks good in pink.

My third brought the joy into our house. We are all in love with her funny, sweet, wild self.

OMG my ovaries hurt, that is so adorable.

OMG, I think that video just made me lactate! So sweet!

That is amazing. And you should gush in a sappy mommyblogger kinda way. You're allowed.

And I'm working on that feeling. I love both girls very much and I keep being told that I make it look really easy but there are days that I kinda want to hide. But then again, Cara loves her sister just not in a benevolent, self-less kinda way. :)

Congrats on beating those demons back. You deserved it.

Oh, that made me cry! So adorable. Sorry for asking but I'm clueless w/ music, but what's the song playing?

Yes, that's exactly how it felt when we had our second child, like he filled a void we didn't know was there. Congratulations, Heather! <3

That is so beautiful. I have a four month old and I struggled with PPD. I decided to get medicated at my 6 week appointment and it was the best decision I could have made. I really struggled those first few weeks, but every day is getting a little better, a little easier, and I'm starting to understand and enjoy this time.

Your babies are beautiful. Leta looks so grown up loving on her little sister.

I'm struggling, realizing I might be pregnant with our first child and its unplanned and unexpected and scary but I just watched this, tears rolling down my cheek as I realize how absolutely, utterly breath-taking a child, a family can be.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

Girl, you are living in a dreamworld right now.
Wait till they start fighting from the minute they get up till the minute they go to bed. Enjoy it now, pretty soon the older one will pinch the younger one just to see what happens. HA!

BTW, the music is a bit sappy dontcha think? Liittlllee over the top folks.

Awwww...now I'm sad that I'll never have another.

Thank you.

My younger sister is 7 years younger to the day, and I'm so glad that I have clear memories of her coming home. And how I cried inconsolably when my dad wouldn't let me hold her right away. My mom eventually let me and there's a pic of me with my eyes and nose all red from crying, but with the biggest smile on a 7 year old's face holding a bright pink newborn who's screaming her head off. But I didn't care - it was bliss. I can't wait to have my own one day, but that sisterly bound is something that cannot be replicated. Congrats on your beautiful family.
