We survived!!!!! One hour into Monday erased all my judgement for those stay at home moms in Atlanta who had full time nannies. Meeting the needs of two kids alone is hard work!
Nurse Carol came to save the day late Monday morning. I was not at all surprised to find that Cameron had grown to a hefty 10 pounds 4 ounces. It was a visit for Cameron, but Alexis was the main topic of conversation. Nurse Carol was full of suggestions and encouragement on life with two!
On Tuesday I was greeted by my friend Kelly who showed up to take Alexis to school and come back for adult conversation. That night we were surprised with dinner company from Kelley, Wade, and their two little kids!
Wednesday we woke up to four inches of snow. NOT my favorite, especially considering it meant we had to cancel our play date. My disappointment resulted in a morning of horrible parenting. That's okay because Kelly and the crew came to our rescue with company.
Thursday Alexis was picked up again. I put every ounce of energy into getting Cameron and I ready for a trip to Target where I spent waaaaaay too much money on diapers and wipes. I now have some motivation to potty train :) Later this afternoon I began day one of The 30 Day Shred. I wet my pants. Thank you, Cameron.
Friday I finally ventured out into the world with the two kids! I was pretty excited about that. Alexis attended her weekly YMCA preschool readiness class. An hour later I picked her up and we had an uneventful trip to Chick-fil-a. That place is a gift from God. He knew I could not mother two children without a Chick-fil-a.
Here are some pictures from our week:

Alexis shares her baby elephant |
|
She wants Cameron to play with her sooo bad! |
|
So, she settles for reading a book while he sleeps |

Please draw your attention to the MAN doing three things at once |
