steve went back to work the middle of the week and it was awful! if i had time to check my email, it was considered an amazing day! needless to say, i always had at least 60 unread messages along with people pissed at me for not uploading pictures of sage on facebook. also, i seemed to never get clean enough! i always smelled like a friggin foot even though i showered every morning and night. i was also pretty teary for a few days when things were not going smoothly. there was one specific time where i had finally got sage to sleep, put a movie on downstairs for brynn, and decided to take a shower. i put sage in her bouncer so i could watch her (i was still weary leaving her unattended when steve wasn't home as brynn kept trying to pick her up) while i was in the bathroom and started to shave my horrific chewbacca legs. brynn came in to use the bathroom while i was shaving, then demanded i wipe her right then. i told her to wait a second, but she was eager to get downstairs to finish her movie so she kept getting louder and louder which lead to sage waking up. i was so pissed. all i wanted to do was shave in silence, but i guess that is too much to ask for. so i sat in the tub bawling while brynn screamed at me, and sage cried her eyes out. thank goodness i have an awesome husband who is cool with me leaving to get some "me time" in as this saved me from running away several times. i ran several errands at night when he was at home with the girls so i could clear my head and feel like a human again.
halloween went really fast and i was bummed that we didn't all dress up again like we did last year. but brynn had fun (even though it was INSANELY cold outside by the time she went trick or treating with steve) and i stayed home passing out candy to kids. sage was too small for her caterpillar costume, but we got a few pictures in anyways and laughed our heads off as it totally drowned her!
i am also so VERY thankful that brynn goes to preschool as those mornings she is gone, i was able to get some shut eye in while sage napped. i also have awesome friends that were more then willing to help take brynn to and from school for me. this saved me! you guys are great!
sage also had her 2 week appointment and was up an ounce from her birth weight (8.2). this surprised me as i was so sure she would be closer to 9 as she eats like crazy! i asked the doctor this, and he asks "well, does she poop a lot?"
"of course!" i said
"well, thats why"
huh. so i guess this little poo poo princess of ours isn't putting on weight as fast as she could...

Wow!! Thanks for scaring us. (: We were wondering what it was going to be like when a second one arrives. Loving the detailed accounts, so we know what to really expect. Good luck. We will be there with you soon.
I guess I should apologize for starting the "We hate Lindsay because she won't upload photos of Sage" group on Facebook :) I hope things are getting smoother, and just think how lucky you are because if you were in Germany there would be no place TO run errands after the girls fell asleep...unless you put them to bed at 4 in the afternoon.
Having 2 kids is so much more difficult. I too have had some major meltdowns as both of my kids are crying. It happened just the other day during bath time. Marriner was screaming at the top of is lungs while Chels was sitting on the bathroom floor naked crying her eyes out. Everyone says it gets easier though, so just hold on!
Ah you posted so many things while I was away. I couldn't get online in Idaho (ugh there's a story) but anyways, LOVE cute little Sage. Wish I could hold her! I can't believe that is Brynn in her Halloween picture. Ah she's so big!
The first six months are the hardest, after that, it really gets a lot easier. I promise. They are both darling!!!! And you are doing better than you think!!!
