Mom Adrenaline is REAL | Honest Recap about Life with 2 Under 2

It’s about to be a month since we had baby boy.

And boy, has my life changed.

From late night feedings to day care drop offs, our life has become so much busier. I’m just so thankful that I have three and 1/2 more months to get used to this new life shift before I have to add working full time to my plate. To say I’m exhausted is an understatement, the only thing that’s been keeping me sane is my mid-day naps.

Although, I’m enjoying having a new member in our family. I’m overwhelmed. Another baby to feed, to care for, and tend to is a lot. I’m constantly doing something for the kids. From washing bottles, washing them, feeding them, playing with them, and thinking of every little thing that I SHOULD be doing to make sure our household stays intact. I’m kind of OCD when it comes to cleaning and keeping a nice home, so i’m constantly picking up after my toddler. And when I do rest, I feel lazy. I feel like I should be doing something for my blog, YouTube channel, TikTok, you name it. But then when I do work on my hobbies, a kid needs me.

Feeling constantly needed is not a feeling I enjoy. I miss the days of only catering to myself. I’m not going to lie. I even snap at my husband when he needs me, because I just need time, a day, even a week to myself. But as a mom, you don’t get days off. I mean technically I do, thanks to my support system, but on those days off I feel the urge to do something to get out to hang to have fun, when I should use those days to relax.

And that’s how life with 2 under 2 has been going for me. Just a big ball of happy chaos. I’m happy that my family is growing, but overwhelmed with everything that comes with it. I do miss my old life but I know if I was in my old life, I would want this life. I’m just tired. But also full of energy. it’s weird.

Ask my husband I complain about being tired, but when I do have time to sleep or rest. I’m full of energy and want to tackle things, whether it’s for the kids or myself. And that’s what I call Mom adrenaline. You just have this unexplainable energy to do things for the kids even when you don’t want to. You figure it out. You just do it. And that’s what I call our superpower as moms. But this adrenaline can be a con at times. As you never know when to stop. when to relax. when to take time for yourself.

It’s a blessing and a curse.

But hey, that’s what we sign up for when we decide to have kids.
