*sending you a huge hug and some strength*

You can do this! Look at your toddler, you have come this far with him and you will go further with them both. You are a mother. You are strong and you can do this.

If you are feeling overwhelmed then call someone for help......do not be embarrassed or afraid.

That really means a lot Jennifer. Thank you.

Welcome to parenting.

Thanks, but that probably would have been more appropriate when I had my first child.

I'm in the same club. I have so many days when I just have to take a deep breath, say a little prayer and just get through it. I may not be mother of the year but I do love my boys and I think they know that much at least. We can just do the best we can do. It's hard especially when they are so young. If you don't already try to at least get them on a regular schedule for naps and bedtime. You need that time to take care of yourself.

Loca, Thank you for your encouraging comments. I was really stressed on that Friday. It was the first day my husband had gone back to work since the baby was born and I didn't know how I was going to do it all. I freaked out. Since then my husband has helped by helping with picking up around the house more, and moving the computers and tv and stuff downstairs so I don't have to go up and down 3 stories everytime I want to get a drink. Things are getting better, still crazy, but better.

That's good to hear. I thought maybe your husband had deployed. At least, he's still there to help. Motherhood isn't for wimps.

Hey email me your addy. I just finished reading a book that you might enjoy. Not that you will actually have time to read but it's a thought. My email is loca dot mama at yahoo dot com. I am notorious for taking 100 years to get things mailed but maybe I'll surprise you and be quick like.

I am blessed to have him still here. He works 12 hour shifts, so that doesn't leave much time for us to be together as a family, but when he is here he does help out a lot. You're very kind to offer me the book, I'll have to take you up on that. Thanks, Loca.
