This morning I awoke to crushing anxiety about the impending birth of my second son! Sounds awesome right?! I'm starting to slowly freak out about the 2 under 2 thing. Yes, I'm aware that people do it all the time. Yes, I'm aware how people get pregnant. I don't want people to misunderstand. I'm very excited to be adding to my family. I'm just starting to feel increasing fear about my ability to handle these guys all day together as a stay-at-home mom. The suspense is killing me.
On the plus side, I did have a "supermom" moment earlier today. My 17 month old and I went out to do some early Christmas shopping (I'm trying to get done before the baby arrives so I won't have to tote both of them). we went to lunch at Pei Wei. generally, I just hold his hand and let him walk because, at this point, it's difficult to carry him on top of the hard belly. When we got inside, he got nervous from all the people and demanded up. My other hand was full, so I hoisted him up over my gut with one arm, ordered, paid, and then got the high chair out with my other arm all with my 35.99999 week pregnant belly. Yay me!

You can do this, I know you can!! I know lots of mommies who do it, and you'll be surprised how much Jamie will adore Charlie and actually help you. Just make him your little helper and praise him with lots of love when he does something as simple as going and getting something out of the diaper bag for Charlie.
No need to freak out. You're awesome!
You will be awesome Amanda! hey, my momma did it! and you know i'm always willing to play with Jamie if you need a break! lol, don't worry...I won't steal him...maybe
My hat is off to you as I bow before you.
So... um... your blog worked and Charlie came the day you evicted him, LOL! Good for you!
