Two under Two

Our family is about to hit a milestone that's been on my mind for the past few months.  Buddy is now 19 months, the same age Punky was when he was born.  Ever since Buddy turned one (the same age Punky was when I found out I was pregnant again), I try to imagine what life would be like if we had decided to add a 3rd baby to our family in the same time frame.  I am not sure if I would be able to survive three under three, and I am so proud that we made it through two under two.  

I look back at the last four years of our life and amazed at how much has changed, how much we went through, and how blessed we are now.   I will be the first to admit that having two kids in two years is HARD work, but also very rewarding.  I was pregnant from May 2008-January 2009, nursed until January 2010, was pregnant from December 2009-September 2010 and nursed until September 2011.  No breaks at all!  Looking back, I will definitely say that this period was the hardest and most trying time of my life.  But I am so happy with our family today, I would do it all over again.   

When Buddy was born, I thought Punky was such a big girl already.  I was so wrong; she was just a baby.  At 19 months, Punky was sleeping in a toddler bed, had pretty much given up naps and was starting to sit on the potty chair.  I cannot imagine attempting any of those things with Buddy.  He is definitely still my baby, and probably always will be.
