How do you prepare for your second baby – both in heart and in mind?

When I was preparing for my second baby, I often had (silly) thoughts like:

What if I can’t love him as much as my firstborn?

What if he’s not as cute and people don’t like him as much as my first?

What if he gets overlooked or–maybe worse–compared?

What if I don’t have time to notice the small things?

What if I can’t cope with the workload of two littles (and the laundry, chores, etc. that come with them)?

What will I do with my toddler while I’m putting my baby down for naps?

How will my toddler cope with me breastfeeding all the time?

Will having two babies limit my mobility and make me feel trapped at home?

I’m already often tired now, how will having another baby make me feel physically?

How will I give both children the individual attention they need to thrive?

How will my relationship with my first born change?

Will my firstborn be resentful toward me for the time I’ll need to take care of the baby?

Will the baby’s accomplishments go unnoticed because the toddler is stealing the show?

And on and on my list went.

Your questions can help as you’re getting ready for baby number two.

I don’t feel bad that I had those questions. In fact, I think they are an important part of processing your changing family dynamic and your ever-growing role as a mom.

These sorts of questions – as silly as they seem to be now – help you to think through expectations, ideals, and practicalities of expanding your family.

Worrying doesn’t help (never does!) but questioning can help you grow as long as you’re kind to yourself and intentional in the process. (That means no guilt trips for not reading your pregnancy and parenting books cover-to-cover again or not knowing exactly which fruit represents your baby on any given week!)

Embracing the change from one child to two when your second baby arrives.

Now that Judah’s been with us for four months, it’s hard to even remember life before he came.

Our family—like the millions of others who have gone before us—morphed and changed along with his arrival.

We expanded our hearts. We changed our routines.

We’ve learned, we’ve grown, we’ve marveled again – at milestones, at idiosyncrasies, at personality.

We laugh even louder… because there’s even more to laugh about.

And we love even deeper.

He makes our family even more “us”.

[3|52: mr. blue eyes]

And the same thing will happen to you. Before you know it you won’t even remember life before….. two.

Dear friends, are you getting ready for baby number two? I hope you’ll be encouraged that your questions are ok and that it’s all a part of the normal process of transition. If you have more than one child, what’s one thing that helped you to prepare your family or yourself for the change?

A response to Glennon Melton’s Don’t Carpe Diem on the Huffington Post.

Don’t Carpe Diem. You’ve probably seen it floating around the internet through blogs and facebook and twitter by now. It’s been posted and reposted, hailed and hated. Iinitially I wasn’t going to add my voice to the multitudes, but I’ve been thinking about it a lot and perhaps you have too.

Here is the crux of Melton’s Don’t Carpe Diem:

“I used to worry that not only was I failing to do a good enough job at parenting, but that I wasn’t enjoying it enough. Double failure. I felt guilty because I wasn’t in parental ecstasy every hour of every day and I wasn’t MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY MOMENT like the mamas in the parenting magazines seemed to be doing. I felt guilty because honestly, I was tired and cranky and ready for the day to be over quite often. And because I knew that one day, I’d wake up and the kids would be gone, and… Would I be able to say I enjoyed every moment? No.”

No doubt every mom (or parent) can relate to these sentiments on one level or another.

Hello, we are human.

If we were perpetually living in a state of bliss there would be no need for anything beyond, anything higher. (Heaven, anyone?)

And self-imposed pressure of that nature inevitably leads to mommy-guilt, the enemy of every mom (or parent) trying her best to survive and thrive in the trenches.

Not only does mommy-guilt deprive us of the moment, but it prevents us of having perspective for the big picture.

Chronos vs kairos time.

Toward the end of her post Melton starts talking Greek. Literally.

She explains the difference bettwen chronos time and kairos time – chronos being the clock-moving, seconds-ticking time, and kairos being God-time, metaphysical time, the oh-this-moment-is-special-let’s-savor-it time.

I couldn’t agree more that there is a difference between those two types of “times” and that the difference is profound.

There are inevitably moments in my day where I want to speed through time (chronos):

Please hold still while I wrangle this diaper on you.

Please stop crying long enough for me to remember where I last had my phone.

Please stop clinging to me so I can get dinner in the oven.

Please think of a new question that I haven’t already answered 347 times today.

But I also know that if I try and speed through all the less-than-desireable parts of my day, I will be robbed of learning to live my “normal” life well.

Because life doesn’t stand still while we wait for those magic moments to appear.

And yet those magic moments? I’m convinced they don’t have to be few and far between if we can only train ourselves to recognize them more.

Recognizing the magic (kairos) moments is easier for some than others.

Recently I was reading a post on someone’s blog. She was talking about another (famous) blogger who is a very positive glass-half-full sort-of person. The famous blogger fills her posts with beauty and celebration as she details the ways she enjoys imagination, spontenaety, adventure, and creative play with her kids. The writer of this post shared how reading the blog annoyed her because surely this lady was putting it all on. Surely she was exaggerating. Surely life wasn’t always that good. Surely she wasn’t always that happy.

It made me sad to read that post, for many reasons. But here’s my main reason:

We are bombarded with images and stories and statistics all the time detailing the things gone wrong in our world: abuse, addictions, violence, financial ruin, job loss, natural disasters, family and relational breakdown, human trafficking, lack of access to clean water and sanitation, poverty, disease…

The list is far too long and far too heartbreaking.

So when I read of someone making a life out of Carpe Diem-ing, it make me think: Wow. How refreshing to see someone deliberately pointing out the small things and commemorating the extrodinary among the ordinary bits of life.

Someone like that doesn’t annoy me, they inspire me.

Because as much as I have my I-want-to-fast-forward-through-this-tantrum moments, I also realize that even the tantrums serve a purpose – not just for my child, but for me.

And I don’t want to miss the bigger picture because I’m merely tolerating the repetitive or challenging parts of my days.

I get the Don’t Carpe Diem thing.

Really, I do.

Life can be hard and we shouldn’t beat ourselves up or feel guilty for not living on cloud nine in a perpetual state of extacy. Especially when it comes to our parenting.

But I don’t fully agree with the Don’t Carpe Diem thing either.

Because when I’m trying to console a crying baby in one arm and make dinner with the other… when I’m pulling over the car to deal with a melt-down in the back seat… when I’m pouring over my bank account trying to find a way to make all the ends meet… when I’m in over my head with commitments and obligations… when I’m delicately trying to see a relationship mended… when I’m praying for answers or healing or breakthrough but am not seeing answers… when I would give anything just to sleep until 9:00am or have an hour to myself…

Those are the moments that I need Carpe Diem. Those are the moments when I need to remember that life is good and it is fleeting and it does all work out well in the long run.

I need Carpe Diem to pull me through.

I need Carpe Diem to remind me that it’s all worth it.

I need Carpe Diem to help me stay focused on the big picture… that happens in many small moments.

Like most of us, I want to be the type of person that is growing in my awareness of the moment, of enjoying it, of savoring it so that I don’t get to the end of my days and wonder what if I paid more attention?

Carpe Diem without the guilt.

As much as I need Carpe Diem, I’ve also got to figure out how to Carpe Diem in a way that doesn’t leave me feeling guilty or defeated or diminished because it’s impossible to live it out every single (chronos) moment.

It’s my responsibility – no one else’s – to make sure that I don’t get caught in my own guilt trap. No one can do that for me.

So I say, Carpe Diem!

Learn to live in the moment! Learn to cherish the ordinary! Learn to see value in the mundane!

And in the spirit of Carpe Diem…

I also say, leave your self-induced guilt trip at the door!

Leave behind your undue pressures and unrealistic expectations and self-doubt.

We were made for this friends – made to seize the moment… to live on purpose… to live well…

In the magic moments… and the normal ones too.

Dear friends, I love Melton’s post and her courage and compassion to write about something so important, even though I disagree with parts of it. What do you think? Carpe Diem? Or don’t?

Everything you need to know about traveling with a baby.

Guest post by Rachel, Wokabout

My little family has almost made a career out of travel.  Jason and I have been married six years and during that time, we have relocated countries…hold on, let me do the finger count…six times?  Yup.  Six times.  I am Australian.  Jason is American.  We now have a little ‘dualie’, Xavier.  We usually live in China.

Xavier is almost one year old.  In his first year, he’s been to Australia, USA, Germany, China and back to Australia.  I feel like we’ve learned a thing or two (possibly even a few tricks) that are useful for any family considering travel — be it by plane, train or automobile. So because it is the little man that has taught us most of what we know, I thought you might enjoy hearing it from him.

So without further adieu, please enjoy the exchange between Mummy (M) and Xavier (Mr. X)!

*****

M: What do you think of your transient lifestyle?

Mr. X: I love it!  I love new places, new foods, new people adoring me.  I love presents from Chinese grandmothers.  Love it.

M: What about your crazy parents?  Do you feel like they’ve done you a disservice, disrupting your schedule and toting your all over the world while you’re at an age that you likely won’t remember any of it?

Mr.X: No.  They are first timers so they still have a lot to learn but at this stage of my life, I’m using 70% of my brain as opposed to the 10% that I’m likely to use as an adult.  I am soaking in everything.  I understand some Chinese you know.  Schedule?  What’s that?

M: Do you sleep through the night?

Mr. X: No.  Why?

M: Never mind.  Do you sleep in your own bed?

Mr. X: Sometimes, but why should I?  I prefer to sleep the Chinese way — everyone in the same bed!

M: Well, I think your parents wish you would spend more time in your own bed.

Mr. X: Well, they have to admit that it has cut down on the amount of ‘stuff’ we tote around.  No portable beds!

M: True…  Let’s change the subject.  Our readers would like to know what you consider essential to every travelling baby’s nappy bag (that’s a diaper bag for our North American readers).

Mr. X’s travel Essentials for Babies:

1. A baby carrier – I recommend Ergo.  There’s plenty of other styles — wraps, mai tai’s, ring slings — that are also useful (ring slings can be used as blankets/nursing covers too).
2. Res-Q remedy/ointment — go to your local health food store for this.  Modern day miracles that soothe bumps, burns and bites.   Great for Mummy’s cuticles.  Having this on hand is a lot better than standing in Chinese pharmacy and trying to figure out the universal sign for mosquito bite.   Or you could by a homeopathic first aid kit like this.
3. Coconut oil — the miracle oil!  Hand sanitizer, wound cleaner, sun protection, etc, etc.
4. Mosquito repellant stickers — discovered these in China and they are brilliant.  No more rubbing chemicals on my fair skin and one sticker usually lasts for a whole day (stick it on my back so I can’t eat it).
5. Amber teething necklace — truthfully, I haven’t travelled while teething so I can’t vouch for this one but my other baby buds tell me they don’t leave home without theirs.
6. A change of clothes…for the parents — you will puke or have a nappy blow out (no shame, brothers and sisters).  If you’re lucky, you’ll survive the trip in the same clothes.  Your parent/s?  Odds are not in their favour.
7. A bag of tricks – have your mum pack a little bag of fun things.  Include a few familiar items (like your teddy and your dummy/paci), your favourite book (the one your mum can recite to you so that she doesn’t have to look at it and get motion sick), and a few new toys.  I like cars.  BUT nothing should be loud or obnoxious.  The gentleman sharing your row will not appreciate irritating songs for the duration of the trip
8. Snacks – airplane food is not especially nutritious.  Here’s a link to the most extensive list of healthy foods you can bring on planes for children.  There’s a lot of things on this list that you likely didn’t know was allowed.
9. A stainless steel water bottle with filter — difficult to come by but who wants to spend half their vacation money buying airport water?
10. Baby probiotics — again from your health food store.  You can usually buy this in powder form and mix with yoghurt/foods/milk to calm the queaziest of tummies.  Drank bath water?  Take a probiotic.  Gas?  Take a probiotic.  Diarreaha?  Take a probiotic!

Dear friends, don’t you love this list from Rachel and Xavier? (Thanks Rachel!) Have you ever travelled with a baby? I sure have, and I highly recommend it! (You can find some of my top tips that I wrote after Levi’s first international trip here: tips and tricks for traveling with a baby.) But back to you. What are YOUR top tips for traveling with a little one?

This week has been… interesting. I’ve had a tummy bug, which–in addition to holding me captive in my house–has left me tired, weak, and hungry. And we all know being tired, weak, and hungry leads to being irritable, impatient, and lethargic.

Not the best attributes to make for a sunny, happy mommy.

Sometimes my heart aches a little when I watch Ryan and Levi playing together.

They are so close. Levi is so utterly in love with his daddy. It makes my heart melt; I really do adore it.

Sometimes my heart aches a little when I watch Ryan and Levi playing together.

They are so close. Levi is so utterly in love with his daddy. It makes my heart melt; I really do adore it.

A woman could have no deeper desire for her husband and children than to see them enjoy such a close relationship.

But still, my heart aches a little.

I used to think that the ache meant I was jealous of their relationship… and that made me feel ashamed. How could I be jealous of something so precious and so right?

But I’ve come to realize that I’m not jealous.

There is a strong emotion there–tinged with the smallest sliver of sadness–but it’s not jealousy.

It’s longing.

I long for what they have. I long for my son to reach out to me they way he reaches out to his dad. I long for him to sometimes say “Mama, mama, mama!” when he hurts himself or wakes in the night.

You and I both know that we can’t force ourselves on people.

We can’t force them to love us.

We can’t force them to choose us first.

We can’t force them to pick us as their favorite.

I know these things. I’m a grown-up – I’ve had many years of relationships to learn this first-hand.

But if I’m honest, I’ll admit that these are the very things I sometimes yearn for – to be “picked first for the team” so to speak.

No one wants to hang back on the sidelines waiting for their name to be called.

Of course I don’t want their relationship to change – I hope that my husband and son will always share such sweet and intimate connection. But I also want in. I want that same depth that is obvious between the two of them.

I sometimes just want Levi to choose me first.

But love can’t be forced. Love—real Love—is always freely given and freely received.

God doesn’t pressure us to choose him or to love him. He just loves us and gives us the opportunity to love him back as we’re able, and as we choose.

My responsibility as a parent is the same – to love Levi with everything I’ve got, regardless of if he ever chooses me first or not. (And of course he does sometimes… just not often.)

I’m glad that Someone’s gone before me and shown me what it looks like to love like this.

And as I learn to love, and even grapple with the longing, I must guard my heart from comparison, from insecurity, from rejection, and from jealousy. For those are the things that so quickly drown out and destroy all that is good and lovely and pure.

Real love sustains, whether you are the favorite or not.

Dear friends, I almost feel silly writing this post. That, as an adult, I shouldn’t even begin to think such things. But I figure if this is something I wrestle with, then maybe other parents out there do too. How about you? Do you sometimes wish that your relationship with your child was more like your spouse’s?

P.S. If you haven’t already entered to win a copy of The Pregnancy Companion, you still have time! Entries close Wednesday. Enter for yourself or for a mom-to-be friend!

Not long ago my husband was inspired to build and plant an herb garden, as well as transplant a few other neglected side-of-the-house plants.

He is now the unofficial Chief Gardener of the family… and has appointed Levi as his Deputy.

Deputy Levi loves to help those little seeds grow.

He waters, he looks, he points, he smiles.

And then he waters some more.

The herbs have sprouted.

My “baby” has sprouted too.

Little seed is not so little any more.

He does grown-up things these days…

…like helping to make things grow.

Dear friends, does anyone else have children that are sprouting like craaaazy right now?

Jessica: Thank you so much for having me Adriel. Let’s see… I’m am [...]]]>

Dr. Heather Rupe and Jessica Wolstenholm, Authors of the Pregnancy Companion.

Adriel: First off, thanks for “visiting” the Memos for an interview Jessica. It’s great to have you! Before we start, can you please tell us a little about yourself?

Jessica: Thank you so much for having me Adriel. Let’s see… I’m am wife to my amazing husband, Dave, and mother to two beautiful miracles, Hope (3 1/2) and Joshua (6mo). I live in the Nashville, TN area where I settled after attending college here. I am a former Christian music and book industry professional. After 13 years in the field, I am now a stay at home mom enjoying the craziness of life with two little ones while I try desperately on the side to minister to women through their journey to motherhood. I partnered with my dear friend and OB, Dr. Heather Rupe to write The Pregnancy Companion after experiencing a hard road of infertility and multiple miscarriages. I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) in 2006, which made it hard for me to conceive and hold a pregnancy. Through the care of Dr. Rupe and a local fertility clinic along with lots of prayer, I have been blessed with two amazing children.

Adriel: There are a zillion books on pregnancy out there, why did you decide to write another one?

Jessica: After everything I had experienced as I walked my own journey to motherhood, I went into my first (successful) pregnancy with a good amount of fear. I wanted so badly to believe for the best and experience true peace throughout those 9+ months but honestly, it was tough. I searched for a pregnancy resource that was faith-based and found several, wonderful pregnancy prayers books. But I was never able to find a book that combined medicine and faith. Since Dr. Rupe and I were friends, I approached her about writing The Pregnancy Companion. As a Christian physician, she understood the need for such a book and was excited to partner with me. Our prayer for this book is to provide all of the medical information you might find in other pregnancy books, combined with practical and devotional content – all wrapped in gentle reminders that God is the author of life and will walk with you through your pregnancy.

Adriel: What kind of women do you think would benefit from reading your book? Besides the “obvious” ones – the pregnant ladies, haha!

Jessica: We tried to be mindful of women who are at all stages on their journey. Those who are trying to conceive or experiencing infertility or miscarriage would benefit from reading this book because that is such a large part of my story. We included lots of helpful information for women who have not yet conceived and encouragement for them throughout their time of waiting. We also believe this book will be encouraging to single moms-to-be. No matter what the circumstances surrounding your pregnancy, we pray this book will be a blessing. Even if you are half way or almost through your pregnancy, there is information you can still find helpful. We discuss many aspects of labor and delivery as well as postpartum care and the early stages of motherhood.

Adriel: You said you were working in the music industry before you became an author. How did you make the switch?

Jessica: Yes. I spent 13 years working for record labels and a management company where I served both artists and authors. I learned so much about the business side of music and publishing and it has helped me tremendously. It’s always different when applying those things to yourself though so I continue to learn every day. When I became pregnant with Joshua I knew I couldn’t juggle my demanding career and two children so my husband and I prayed and looked toward my third trimester mark to make the switch. It has honestly been quite an adjustment to go from working outside of the home to working (really hard) in the home but every day it gets better and better and I know I am called to be with my children during this season.

Adriel: Can you give us a snapshot of what a day in the life of an author/stay-at-home mom looks like?

Jessica: Well, every day is different and probably not much different than yours! Right now it all depends on what my little man is doing. Some days he naps well and some days he doesn’t. My husband and I take turns getting up to feed him in the morning (did I mention my husband is amazing?!) which is usually between 5-6:30am (he sleeps through the night but wakes up at various times still). When it’s my turn, I often take some time after feeding him to check email. There is nothing like a few quiet moments to focus on your inbox without a little person vying for your attention! After I get myself ready, I get the kids ready for the day and we send daddy off to work. Mornings are typically the best time for both of my children to play independently so I utilize that time to get on Facebook and Twitter or start writing a new blog post. I’m sure you can relate but it seems as though once I clean up the kitchen from breakfast, I may have a few moments to do those things before it’s time to put someone down for a nap, change a diaper or begin working on lunch. And once I clean up from lunch, it’s pretty much the same in the afternoon before it’s time to start dinner. Most of my work is done in spurts between normal, daily mommy tasks. When I am working on a manuscript or proposal, I use my quietest, most peaceful time of the day… after the kids are down in bed for the night.

Adriel: Many of the readers of the Memos are also parenting bloggers, and no doubt some are aspiring writers. Can you tell us one piece of practical advice for pursing that goal?

Jessica: My biggest piece of advice would be to continue developing your writing and your ideas. The most important thing that will set you apart in the sea of bloggers and writers is a unique idea or story. I never considered myself a great writer, but I had an idea that had never been done before that identified a need in the market. I was so blessed to find a publishing company that caught the vision and has been a wonderful partner to get it out there.

Once you have your message, build a community (I prefer that term to “network”) of like-minded people who could be blessed (I prefer that term to “benefit”) from your message. If your idea is unique enough and your community active enough, you will likely catch the eye of a publisher at some point. And even if you don’t, it doesn’t mean you can’t be an author. The publishing industry is changing daily with many more opportunities opening up for independent authors. Much like the music industry evolved over the past 10 years allowing independent artists to distribute their music through digital channels enough to make a living, the publishing world is following close behind. If you are passionate enough about your idea, you should use whatever means you can to share it with others.

Adriel: And in closing, can you please share with us any of your goals for the future? Do you hope to continue writing about pregnancy-related topics? Or was this fabulous book a one-off?

Jessica: Now that I have six months under my belt with the little guy, I feel like I am in a groove enough to spend more time writing and developing ideas. We hope to bring a follow up book to The Pregnancy Companion, which I will be working on this spring. I have a few other ideas swimming around in my brain that I hope to nurture in 2012. Taking those steps toward the next message will be a big part of the upcoming year for me but more than anything I want to work hard to make sure women everywhere know about this resource so that they may experience the most peace-filled pregnancy possible.

Adriel: Jessica, thank you so much for taking the time to do an interview for my readers. I love reading personal interviews from people I admire, and so “conducting” one myself has been an absolute pleasure! And I’ll also say “thank you” on behalf of my readers. *grin*

Jessica: Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Memos!
