The ABC's of having a new baby!!

A - is for ALMOST, as in - I was almost able to get enough sleep last night and Scarlett Almost went down for a nap until Boston came in screaming about something.
B - is for BABY, Boston has decided to become a baby since we brought Scarlett home. He goes around speaking baby and searching for his binki and bottle - a common thing for kids to get new babies in the house.
C - is for CAREFUL, since Boston loves to get in Scarlett's face and talk to her and touch her eyes and nose and mouth.... BE CAREFUL Boston as become a common phrase in our house
D - is for DIAPERS, since we go through about 30 diapers a day with Scarlett. Unless you're dadda and then she will just pee all over her clothes and changing pad instead of in the diaper :)
E - is for ENERGY, which is what I wish I had :).... Boston is so active and Scarlett is so demanding right now that I wish I had just a little more energy to help me get some things completed before I have to go back to work.
F - is for FORGETFUL, since it seems that since Scarlett has been born that both Andy and I have forgotten so many things. Some of them include - losing our USB modem, car keys, books, tools, Boston's toys, etc.
G - is for GIRLY, it's been really fun getting all things girly.
H - is for HOW THE HELL... as in Boston, how the hell did you get water all over the entire bathroom floor and how the hell did you eat all of that candy in one day?
I - is for ILLUSIONS, I think that both Andy and myself will begin seeing Illusions if we don't get more sleep!!
J - is for JOKER, since Boston now likes to go around saying, "I'm so serious!" (I know that it's not the real saying, but Boston has made it all his own... one of the lines in the new Batman - Dark Knight movie
K - is for KINDNESS, so many people have helped us out with so many things and have come to visit us - showing us their support and love. There's nothing more that a family could wish for :)
L - is for LOVE, Andy said that he didn't know if he could love another kid as much as he loves the Boston and Scarlett already has him wrapped around his little finger :) We all love her so much and are so grateful for her.
M - is for MONEY, which I wish we had more of :)
N - is for NURSING, which I've been successful at this time around. Although it has been really challenging at times and worried me a little bit, it has been going well. One down side is that Andy can't feed her :(
O - is for "OOPS, it was and accident" - which is Boston's favorite new saying when he does anything naughty and intentional. He thinks that if he says, "Oops, it was an Accident" that he can get away with murder.
P - is for POOP, which Andy has become very familiar with since the birth of Scarlett. If you ever want a reason to NOT get a dog, then just imagine cleaning up poop and puked up poop from a dog named Rex every time you come home from spending time with your new precious baby girl.
Q - is for QUIET, please just give me some quiet!!!!
R - is for REFLUX, poor Scarlett has had really bad reflux which has caused her to be really sensitive, gassy, and sleepy.
S - is for SCOOTER, which is what Santa brought Boston for Christmas this year. Since it's been too cold and snowy to ride it outside, he's been riding it around the kitchen and running into walls, into Rex, and my favorite into my heels and toes!!! Thank goodness for Scooters and Santa :)
T - is for TIME, I really wish that I could slow time, it's already been a month since Scarlett was born and it's gone by so fast.
U - is for UNDERSTANDING, Andy has been so understanding through all of the crazy mood swings that I've gone through both during my pregnancy and after. It's hard to have a new baby and to have your body all broken and hurting. I wanted to give my husband and great big thank you for being so understanding and compassionate :)
V - is for VIDEO GAMES, which Boston is currently begging us to play with him.
W - is for WINTER, which I'm so entirely sick of that I could puke. The vacation channel has been viewed on more than one occasion so I could mentally get out of the snow and put myself onto a nice white sandy beach :)
X - is for X-MAS, Scarlett's first x-mas was extremely nice, we didn't do much or really get much, but having her here with us was really all that we could ask for and want this year. She is healthy and strong and soooooo precious!
Y - is for YELLING, which I've decided to work on as a New Year's resolution. I tend to raise my voice to get Boston's attention and I don't want to be known as a yeller - I need to take more time with Boston in talking with him and actually going to him to get his attention instead of yelling in his direction.
Z - is for ZOO, this place that used to just have one child roaming around being destructive will now have two. I love having two kids, but wow, it's a really big change. If it's not Boston crying or whining it's Scarlett screaming at the top of her lungs because her brother has just screamed or threw something and it startled her from sleep.
