Being a Mom of Two Girls

I cannot explain the joy that I have every day being a mom of two precious girls. Each day is an adventure, not always an easy one, but I would not trade it for anything. God has blessed our family so much. Caidance loves being a big sister, but there are times when she demands a little more attention. Well, just for example when you start talking to Shelby she runs over and wants to talk to her too, even if, at the time,she was not even in the same room. I feel so bad when Caidance will want me to get down on the floor and play "princess" with her and all of her "princess" dolls, when I just sat down and started feeding Shelby. I will tell her, "Let me finish feeding Shelby and then I will get on the floor and play." She is very quick to tell me, "Mommy you have one free hand to play with me."  Usually, I just have to play the voices of the characters and she is happy.  All in all, she is a great big sister and such a great help. She never complains and she loves to take care of her "sissy." We have had to set aside several times to just have "Caidance" time so that she always knows how special she is and that nobody will take that away from her. Shelby has been such a great baby. She started sleeping through the night a couple of weeks ago, but then we have had a few nights in the passed week where she has been waking up two and three times and I cannot get her back to sleep.   We have tried two different medicines for her reflux, and I thought that it was getting better, but lately it seems to be coming back pretty bad at night. Shelby has her own sweet personality. She loves her momma and wants to be held ALL the time! We joke about her cat naps. However, if she is in her momma's arms she sleeps for hours. Yes, I have spoiled her, but they only stay little for such a short time. We are enjoying our summer and wish that it would slow down, but for now, we are just going to take it a day at a time and enjoy every minute of every day. God has blessed us beyond our means with our little family.
