I'm still here. I know it's been a while since I've written anything here. But I'm still here.
Parenting two living children is overwhelming and I am still adjusting to My New Normal.
This new normal is so much better than the new normal I was adjusting to when I first started this blog. Back then, I was trying to process a tragic loss. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to manage life with two living children. A struggle that all parents with more than one child deal with.
For once, I'm normal. Not just a BLM, but a normal Mom with normal Mom problems and issues.
I love it, but it takes up all my time.
I want to share this new life with all of you, but I haven't been able to figure out how to find the time. When I do have the time I'm usually trying to clean up the mess that is my house these days or I'm trying to take a nap.
I promise to get better at updating soon.
Until then, just know that I am happy. My kids (love being able to say that in plural) are happy. And that life is good.
Very hectic and busy.... but good.
Dealing with the loss of a child is never easy, but it's even more difficult when you are an expat living far from home. Life will never be "normal" again and so now the challenge is to find my new normal. I am now back in the USA and the proud parent of two daughters, born using two different egg donors. "Frostina" and "Olea" are the loves of my life and I feel so grateful for the amazing women who donated their eggs and made my family possible.
SO wonderful that you are feeling normal. Really, this gives me hope.
