People have different reasons for why they want to have more than one child. "So and so needs a sibling," is a common answer I hear. But you don't realize how much harder 2 is than 1. It's more than twice as hard. By the second kid, the honeymoon is over. The newness of all things baby has worn off. You take your second child for granted. You wonder how long you'll feel like a prisoner in your own apartment. When you have only 1, they go to sleep, and your done for the night. Seriously. And when your wife takes your 1 and only child to the park, you can go for a run. Or just chill. But those days are over at least for awhile. After my wife gave birth to Harper in January, I went home to watch Dylan. And I felt like a single parent.
When Dylan was 8 months old, we took her to Italy.
And last year at this time we were on vacation in Mexico.
This year it's just Texas with the in-laws. And Milwaukee for a "Mancation".

Nonsense and tomato juice. We have 10 and it's only marginally more difficult than 5.
I like tomato juice. It's good for you. DZ
I had two beautiful babies at the same time! I have a boy and a girl! Some people tell me; how lucky I am...some people look at me and tell me: oh my...hard hard work....both affirmations are true! But yes being parents is hard for one and for many...it' just a very hard job so good luck to all mom and dad's out there!....
congrats, it's hard work, good luck as well. dz
