This is extremely relatable and by the time I got to the end, I just wanted to share how 1.beautiful these photos are, and the spit up one is SO real and 2. it gets easier and better, and then hard before getting easier again. I struggle on a daily to feel creative and when I'm not at work being the sounding board for patients, I'm with my kids who literally breathe life into me and therefore a lot of what I share revolves around them. Social life? Not really existent right now, but that's okay, I'll get back to some form of that soon enough. When I do get down to it, I agree with you, I feel like I create with more meaning and my words, hopefully will touch who they need to. Thanks for sharing this and I look forward to learning more about you and Noka!

First, thank you SO much for reading and the kind words. How old are your kids? Everyone is always telling me how everything happens in the blink of an eye, so when I'm feeling anxious about getting things done, I try to remind myself that these moments with Noka as a baby won't last forever, but the memories of time spent with him will. I hope you're able to find time to create and get back to being social again.

I have a just turned 6-year-old and a 2 1/2 year old and honestly as tiring as it is, it’s the best time of my life. The personalities developing, laughing together, seeing everything through their eyes, it’s awesome. For me personally, with my first, the time passed SLOWLY. I feel like I felt the days, weeks, months etc. in hindsight, sure, it did just go by..but with my second? Omggg time literally and actually flew by and I would give anything to go back. I think it’s because we knew what we were doing the second time around, anxieties weren’t so high and it wasn’t full on survival mode, omg are they breathing?, 24/7. I was also experiencing toddler hood with my son for the first time so that was a handful and sometimes it feels like I lost uninterrupted baby time with her, but..it’s fine. I think it will often feel like (for moms) that it wasn’t enough, but it is and it was. Keep taking these photos together! They’re priceless

Those are such fun ages! I can’t wait to see my son’s personality develop and evolve. I had so much anxiety for the first few months—always staring at him to make sure he’s breathing and googling everything, lol. What you said is what I think about all the time if I were to have another baby while my son is a toddler. But you’re right, mom’s never feel like it’s enough when it actually is. Thank you!
