I've been following you since "...Hi Julie,<br />I've been following you since "52 sketches..." and must say that i love your work!<br />Congrats for cute Nicholas!! He really looks like Ryan!<br />I remember when my girl was born (3 years after my boy) ,how hard was my new routine with 2 kids!! My girl also woke up in the middle of the night on her first 3 months. My mother gave me a little pillow stuffed with lavender to put on her crib, just at night- i must say that helped a lot! But don't worry,soon you will find time to do everything you need! For now, you must give yourself a litlle break!<br />Love all your pics!!carla ssilvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02630305076827023363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131555580332221386.post-79102739075994666562011-02-28T06:43:47.846-05:002011-02-28T06:43:47.846-05:00Oh Julie- as overwhelming as life seems to be, I k...Oh Julie- as overwhelming as life seems to be, I know that you will get through, and so will those little men... As I read your post I remembered my nephew, my sister's second baby. Your little Nicholas sounds just like him; EVERY evening/late afternoon was just as yours sounds, until his daddy got home. Rough times? yes, now at 32? never to worry- they know they were both loved, and not minimally! I KNOW you and your kiddos will come out shining! A little more tired some days, but too soon it will all just be a bump in the road. check out my blog- maybe it will make you smile...take care and be well.<br />oh, btw, love the LO! It is just what I needed!, not to mention the pics ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454980666338371891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131555580332221386.post-46925196967637179382011-02-26T21:12:24.118-05:002011-02-26T21:12:24.118-05:00Super cute layouts!

I love the hearts but the brother love LO is my favorite ;)<br /><br />I too had a fussy second baby, but she wasn't limited to the hour of the day. It was really hard for me since the first had been so easy going! Two years later and my house is still a mess 90% of the time, lol. In the end, that's not what matters though ;)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719874744151382283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131555580332221386.post-74523170099812023142011-02-26T19:07:50.465-05:002011-02-26T19:07:50.465-05:00Love the new layouts!Love the new layouts!Lisa Gouthro McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660207685882413630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131555580332221386.post-13705339281837750552011-02-25T22:22:53.054-05:002011-02-25T22:22:53.054-05:00What a very sweet little face!!!!

And give yourself time, it takes a while to adjust to having two kiddos. When I had my second baby I think it took me four or five months to feel like I was finally "on top of it." :)<br /><br />Love your layouts, as always!

My last little girl has just left the nest.... it passes all too fast and while my son and I were talking the other day it was not the mess in the home he remembered or that mommy was always cleaning but that I stopped whatever I was doing to play with he and his sister.... the best song to a mothers ears? when my son, soon to be a daddy for the first time said when I have kids I will raise them just the way you and dad raised me.<br />So yes, I remember the days of not enough time to do what needs to be done and the overwelming feeling that I was just treading water.... seems like yesterday and yet it is done... love your babies the other stuff will and can wait!lilly rierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225033735388865046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131555580332221386.post-33655875927793303412011-02-25T11:27:10.664-05:002011-02-25T11:27:10.664-05:00Aww...how cute are those photos!

I've been struggling with feeling like a bad mommy too. But you know what? Your A ROCKSTAR mommy! Just the fact that you care enough to worry about that says a lot about what a good mommy you are! <br /><br />Fantastic sketch and layouts!mustangkaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368755913257754739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131555580332221386.post-71092604032098294702011-02-25T11:23:36.531-05:002011-02-25T11:23:36.531-05:00Loving Nicholas's grumpy old man face!!

I guess going to bed feeling guilty that someone was left out is one of the downs of motherhood. I remember that feeling all too well. It is just what good mothers do, but they grow up loved. :) Loving this new sketch! It is just what I needed for a wedding photo I want to scrap! Loving your LO's and those hearts are wonderful. I checked out PLS and their vintage stuff is amazing!Jennifer Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489870773549675036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131555580332221386.post-74250967347076958112011-02-25T11:22:55.843-05:002011-02-25T11:22:55.843-05:00I remember when my son was a newborn, he would jus...I remember when my son was a newborn, he would just scream for hours too, just around the same age as little Nicholas. One thing that would really help was for my husband to bundle him up and take him for a walk outside. We had a baby carrier that he wore on his chest and he would stick him in that and wrap him good in blankets and stick a hat on his head and just walk around the back yard - it never ceased to amaze me on how it would calm my son down. And I am talking about the coldest time of winter this would go on - like January. Maybe the cold air had some sort of secret effect on him, those walks were the only thing that kept me sane on some evenings. Don't worry about the condition of your home, no one cares and you will have plenty of time for that later.Mary Ellynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897212565143751369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131555580332221386.post-86213672103753096942011-02-25T09:34:29.073-05:002011-02-25T09:34:29.073-05:00Great pages!

It is ok if the house is a mess. There are more important things right now in your life.

Nicolas is such a cutie! <br />I love the layouts you created!!!<br />Hope to see more soon! Really?
