Five years....

Our baby is five.  I still remember announcing I was pregnant.  Some people were less then supportive.  Instead of congratulations we got comments such as "Wow, your kids are going to be close together."  Thanks I can do math.  We had another family member tell us the reason he got divorced was because his children were 15 months apart.  Not something you tell a pregnant woman who has a six month old.
I just knew I couldn't do it.  I was a bad mom with one. I was just recovering from PPD.  How was I going to have two? Not only that the pregnancy was a struggle.  I was throwing up 4-5 times a day (and I did the whole pregnancy) and wasn't gaining weight like I should have been.  When the ultrasound showed a girl I was so excited. I so remember the week before she was born I was so sick.  Not only was I throwing up still but then I got a cold that I could not get rid of.  Lee and my father in law gave me a blessing.  I started feeling better and Victoria was born about a week later.  I won't go into the whole labor/delivery I will save that for another year.  But the moment that I was handed our baby girl I was in love. She was so adorable. Screaming like crazy but adorable.  All of my doubts of how I was going to do this went out the window.  I never thought it would be easy.  It hasn't been.  But I love being a parent to both of my children.  I love how different they are and how they can bring out the best in me.
