benson family in town

My parents came for a week the day after we got back from the hospital. I knew I was going to need help with a newborn and my little busy bee of a little girl.  Grandma and Grandpa did a great job entertaining Madison and really completely taking care of her while I was able to focus on Carson.  THANK YOU!  The help was such a stress reliever for me not having to worry about where Madison was, what she was doing, or what unsafe things was I going to let her do in order to finish nursing Carson ;)  Just kidding but sort of not....

Keila came to visit at the end of the week which was super nice to have the entire Benson side of the family here.  You know you miss family when they are away but its after a great visit and they leave when the loss really hits you.  And that first morning with just me and the two kids was a bit of a wow. 

Everything went well of course but Madison watched too much TV and Carson had to cry for a little bit longer than I would like.  The important part to all of this though.....

All my children and Mommy survived!

The TV wont kill Madison and the crying from Carson is going to be there if I get there in 2 seconds or 2 minutes.

Lessons learned and noted.  Now this two children "thing" is a part of our life. I have become much more comfortable juggling everyone and feel like "I got this."  Until of course Madison and Carson are both starving and need to be fed now, then, I don't "got this."

P.S. I have become "so good" I can nurse and blog at the same time.... (Thank you Boppy!)
