I'm sure I'll eventually have a rose-colored view of this time, but right now it's hard to fathom.

All of parenting is an emotional roller coaster ride. A really good one though! Some of us even get back in line for multiple rides. Two times, two sexes is totally enough for me. There was a time, not so long ago, when I thought, "we should have another baby" because it seems like you'd almost have to get the third one exactly right and you would be the perfect parent. I'm sure that was just hormones talking. At 43 I have different hormones now and I am grateful that they don't say "BABY" to me. (They do, however, say equally awful/interesting things!)
