2 niñas

i was very unsure about how it would be having two kids.  one reason was that i didn't want to add another stroller to the household and decided to "make it work" with our bigger stroller.  i thought about this issue over and over and wondered what we would do.  (i'm trying to paint a picture, here) :)

more or less i was stressing over this when it hit me: who am i kidding? with two kids i'm not going ANYWHERE by myself for like 6 months!  stroller issue?  non-issue!

i quickly realized this, in fact, was a non-issue.  it was much easier to take 2 kids out by myself than i thought.  i'm not saying it's a piece of cake every time, but it's definitely manageable.  i have found that i don't just run out at the drop of a hat like i used to with k - i think more about leaving the house and if i really want to - but i definitely don't feel trapped in.

tasks like going to get our mail (we have a PO box at the post office - no mailbox... boo) are much harder since i can't just leave the kids in the car while i run in for literally 20 seconds.  so husband picks up the mail most days... but now that i think about it, getting the mail is usually our nightly outing as a family once daddy gets home :)  we all have to get out of the house at least once a day!
