A Growing Family
Recently we’ve expanded our family by one. We had another little girl named Ivy Elyse Johns on January 12th of this year. We have another beautiful daughter named Anya who is two and a half.
Ivy Elyse
This ends the first full week of us having Ivy home and it has been a great deal more challenging than we had anticipated. We really thought it would be easier this time around since we were such frantic first-time parents a little over two years ago.
What we didn’t think about was Anya not really digging her little sister and becoming a little tougher to handle. She is doing great with it and we expected some slack from her, but I guess we under-estimated her will to be the only child 
The other thing we forgot about is only getting two hours of sleep at a clip. This I don’t miss, being a walking zombie, chugging monster to stay awake and being ruder to folks than I would like to be. This will all pass, that I know. Just trying to get back into a routine of no sleep, doing good work, being a good father and husband all in a 24 hour span of the day.
I know I can do it all, I just have to find the balance, the new routine, my Zen. Maybe get back into meditation, maybe a drink or two (half kidding) or maybe just trying to get to bed earlier. Not sure at this point, but by trial and error I will figure it out.
To all those whom I have been short with this week, I apologize. To any drivers that I have cut-off, given the bird, honked at, please forgive me. And to all those folks whom I have been nice to no matter what, consider yourself lucky.
Anyone out there have similar experiences? Any advice for getting back on track?
