You just do it because it needs to be done. Some days I find that it is midday I am not showered DD is not dressed and we have only eaten toast and popcorn but we are all happy and healthy.

Can I be honest and say it was haaaard at first! And the guilt - sheesh! Took me a few weeks to find my feet and get us all into a routine that worked.

DD was great - it was me that was in tears at the lack of time I was spending with her!

DS was really unsettled the first few weeks and I found the hardest part was when I was trying to resettle him in bed and DD would come in constantly.
This is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo us, it almost feels like you have been looking in our window and telling our exact story.

I would never take back having them so close together but it is really hard, and I am a teacher used to dealing with 20-30 kids at a time, but this is a whole different story.
