The most common question I get from friends, family and readers is “how is life with two treating you?” So I thought I’d share an honest and open response now that we have nearly four months under our belt.
Overall it’s been dreamy and incredible watching Elin morph into a big sister. We’ve had little bumps or I should say “feelings” along the way about her not being the only child and the little changes in our routine but she’s done incredibly well. That little transition was way more emotional than I was expecting for me. It hit me hard that first week as a family of four (probably heightened thanks to hormones and lack of sleep) as I realized a very sweet chapter with Elin was now in the past. I had moments of guilt when I couldn’t do everything with her like we used to but as time marched on it all started to feel more natural as Lila settled into a more regular, predictable routine. We were sailing along, I was feeling healed and ready to get out of the house more, start working again and then… March 13th came around and the world stopped. A curve ball for all parents.
