Life with 2 kids

Well, the fact that I haven't written since Amelia was born tells you how busy I am. The main reason though is that I use Eric's work laptop and he has that during the day so the only time I have is after he gets home from work. But, when he gets home is when I finally feel like I can get some things done around the house. It also takes a lot longer to get two kids ready for bed so my evenings are pretty full.
Really though, I love my little family. It seems so complete now and I love being home with them all day. I actually took them both to WalMart earlier this week and survived! We were only there 20 minutes but there were no tears involved. I was so proud of myself. I'm torn though because sometimes I miss work too. Well, I miss my friends at work. I know it will still be hard to go back in a couple of weeks. I'm mostly loving having the evenings to spend with Eric eating dinner together and watching American Idol.
Gabe is adjusting o.k. He really loves Amelia and isn't showing any anger or anything like that. He can't stop kissing and touching her and sometimes I get tired of telling him to leave her alone. We have noticed though that he has become more whiny and throwing more tantrums. I think he's just frustrated because mommy isn't there for everything like before and life as he knows it has changed drastically.
So far she is such a good little baby. We haven't seen any signs of colic yet but we aren't getting too excited because Gabe was 2 weeks old before he started it. She just sleeps, eats, and poops right now. She looks a lot like Gabe did when he was a newborn. She already has a dimple in her right cheek. Hopefully she'll use her dimple powers for good and not evil like her daddy did when he was young. Love you all,
Britt

I am so happy for you guys that everything is going smoothly for you. Don't worry Gabe will gradually get over the tantrums. Ed did them for a while.
How are you doing? No postpardum? She is a very cute little girl and thank you for sharing the pictures. Eric keeps tony updated so then, Tony updates me. Thank you for the update. I will talk to you later.
