You'll fall into a routine faster than you think. It's really a lot of trial and error along with some planning and a comfortable (and flexible) routine. For one, Derek won't always need to be fed separately, so you'll all be dining together before you know it. That will cut out a few steps in the evening. Hmmm...until then...I also think there was a time when I figured out how to breastfeed and feed myself and Dianna at the same time. Remember, multi-tasking is your friend! :) Seriously, my advice is, lower your standards a bit until things get less crazy and more routine. Don't try to be super-woman, ask for help whenever you can, tag team things as a couple when possible, and before you know it you'll find yourselves juggling everything with relative ease. You've just gotta find your groove, you know? Then, just when things get a bit easier, the kids will go through some CHANGE and everything will need to get re-worked! That just figures, huh? Don't forget, above all, take time for yourselves whenever you can. A sane mommy and daddy get way more accomplished than frazzled ones. Remember, we're here for ya, if you ever need a sitter! Don’t worry! You’ll fall into a routine faster than you think.

With the introduction of Derek, our lives have certainly gotten interesting. 2007 has been quite a year. Hopefully, we can do a post detailing the multitude of things that happened to our family this year. Yeah, looking back on it, having one kiddo was such a breeze.
