"Show your teeth!!"

Just a little tired

I guess it's only to be expected but I am completely exhausted all the time. I know that it is just from the first trimester of pregnancy, but I am sure that my other two little people don't make it any easier. I was just telling Brant the other day that when I was pregnant with Chloe I got to sleep whenever and ever how often I wanted. With Maximus, I got to sleep when Chloe slept which was enough. BUT now that I have two, I never get to sleep. Every morning I lay in bed wishing for just 1 more hour. And then I look up and right in my face is the most beautiful girl looking me straight in the eyes saying "Mom! Mom!" (not "mama", but "Mom!" with a lot of emphasis) And as I can't help but smile looking at her big brown eyes I then hear my sweet boy laughing and playing in his bed. And that wish for one more hour fades because I can't help but feel overwhelming joy and love for these 2 beautiful blessings that I have been given. Even though my energy level seems extremely low, I get a burst of adrenaline to just push through. Because I know that I only get to live each day once and I only get to experience Chloe & Max in this phase of life once. And as someone once told me, I will have the rest of my life to sleep. This is so true. Every moment with my children is so special, so different from the previous moment, but just as special. And when I think about that, I do not even want to blink.
