Well, we have survived another week, but only by the grace of God...I thought this was supposed to get easier! Actually, my five week old has been great, it's my two year old that I am having so many problems with. The last three days his little sinful nature was been in full force. The second I start feeding Brayden, he is looking for something to get into or destroy. I feel as though my only vocabulary word is "no". Today I just felt like a horrible mom...I was either yelling or having to discipline all day long. It was the kind of day that about every hour I just had to sit down and h
ave a good cry and beg God for strength. I've been thinking that maybe I am beginning to struggle with depression, but I think my body is just physically and emotionally exhausted. Greg has been super busy, so I've been a single mom all week - which equals a very stressed out mom. Plus, since Brayden has been born I haven't gotten to sleep before midnight...which means I only get about five hours of sleep at night (and they are not together). But to end this on a light note, somethings are good. Jett is just Mr. Talker and always has something to say. When we are in the car he is shouting out everything he sees and tells me what color the stop lights are and what I'm supposed to do with each color. He loves his little brother
. Everytime I lay Brayden on the floor, he lays all of his toys around him...but still doesn't understand why he can't play. Brayden is such a sweet baby. We are on a pretty good schedule, but his wake time is still between 8 to midnight, which makes for a long late evening (especially because he is fussy during this time). He sleeps great during the day and is so happy when he is awake. It is so wonderful to have such a content baby. He has even started putting himself to sleep for naps and I haven't even had to work with him. Another good thing, Greg just got home and said that he has the weekend off. I can't believe that we are going to spend all weekend together. So as I close we are just praying that Brayden will finally fall alseep so we can sit down and talk over a HUGE bowl of ice cream:)

they are so adorable. I am keeping you in my prayers for the lack of sleep and feelings of depression. It has got to be hard with a two year old, you can't just sleep when the baby sleeps.
