I have been mentally noting this day in my mind since last November, when we found out we would be parents again. The days turned into weeks and weeks into months and before we knew it, it was here. I thought all day about how Landon wasn't "supposed" to be here, yet...he was still supposed to be thriving and growing inside of me. But, he wasn'. And I don't think anyone was more happy about that than me. We spent the morning running errands and I caught myself numerous times staring into the backseat at my two beatiful children. Lily was stuffing one goldfish at a time into her mouth while louldy chanting "Momm-EEE"...Landon was soundly sleeping (and probably trying to secretly tune his sister's loudness out). I could not believe that I was driving in the car with my two kids (plural!). As I pulled into the driveway, a strange sense of empowerment came over me - like I had accomplished something big. Let's face it - I have (thought not by myself). Each day gets a little easier, but no matter how hard it is...I absolutely love being a mother of two. :)
