Mommy & Me Time

1/2/3


Giving birth to Daniel was one of the most bittersweet times in my life. It was and is truly a blessing to have such an amazing little boy brought into my life, but the beginning of life with les deux was a difficult time because I was forced to give up the alone time spent with my little Sienna. I chose to nurse Daniel as I had done with Sienna which was wonderful, but the downside to that was that I had to be the one to give Daniel most of his primary care. Danny definitely took control and helped with Sienna and now their father-daughter bond is stronger than ever and needless to say, Daniel is attached to my hip :)
This past week Sienna and I were fortunate to have not one, but two mommy and me dates. This was the first time since Daniel was born where we actually were able to go and do something fun, just the two of us. Of course we occasionally will get to run an errand together or we have our weekly baby ballerina class, but this was quality time spent together.
First Thursday morning, we went to see the new Madagascar Live show at Busch Gardens which was a great time! Then on Sunday I took her to see our first Disney on Ice show which was absolutely magical. I am so grateful to have my two beautiful babies, but this past week made me realize how important it is to spend some quality one on one time with each child.
Love you baby girl!

  3. What a wonderful Mommy you are! I remember all too well how hard it was, and how guilty I felt for not having quite as much time for my daughter when my son was born. The tables have turned as of late, and I now feel like all my time is with my daughter (I homeschool her), while my son (whose still in preschool) doesn't get enough individual time with me. Your post reminded me that I need to make those special one-on-one dates more of a priority. Thank you!

  4. So sweet. Yes, it is difficult after the having only one child. My oldest two are 22 months apart. They are 22, one will be 21 on Thursday, and my youngest is 16. It just worked out. My husband (Danny) stepped up and he and our daughter are pretty bonded. I think that's why God made daddies. :) Enjoy your time. The next 18 years will fly by.
