My poor father has been on his own for days and they did just get that hurricane so she really did need to go home. I will be all right I think. This is the first time I have been alone with both children. Jade is playing and Jordan is sleeping, but she should be up soon to eat. I know I can do this, but I'm sad that my Mom is gone. I keep telling myself that this is not Hawaii. On a positive note Jade just sat on the potty and went without any prompting. She is pretty much potty-trained, but has yet to do number 2. She has made some great progress with that this week. Okay I think the panic attack is over. Thanks for listening guys.

Shanna replied: Wow that would be so scary not having your mom there to help you. I am fortunant to have my mom live right around the corner. She's been a big help to me these last couple of months. You'll do ok though, just breathe and think of all the fun times you'll have with your new little one.

A&A'smommy replied: awwww I'm glad you feel a little bit better!!!

5littleladies replied: Don't worry-You'll do great! It is a little scary at first but pretty soon you will hardly remember a time when you didn't have two.

And WTG Jade!! Keep it up little lady!

ammommy replied: It will be OK, you can do it. Just be sure to put Jade in big-sister mode. Alec was great at fetching diapers and wipes when I needed the help and I'm sure Jade would love being "a big helper" too.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I remember that feeling so well. I cried and cried after my mom left. (hormones ) I just felt so alone. Scotty was gone all day and I was left with Maddie and the new baby that I didn't even know yet. You will be fine and so will the girls. Hang in there and come talk to us if you get lonely.

Debra replied: You can do this! Just take it slow & try not to stress about the little things! You have 2 wonderful blessings there!

ediep replied: you'll be great! Jade is such a good girl and I'm sure jordan will be too.

MM'sMama replied: You'll be great your a mommy we can do anything

My2Beauties replied: Oh I know that has to be really intimidating hon, but just relax and you'll get into a routine before you know it, and you'll start to think hey - I can do this, bring on a 3rd one Kidding! hon!

DansMom replied: I remember breaking down and sobbing when my mom left! Remember that you're also having normal hormone drops that might give you baby blues. For some reason, that always coincides with the time one's mom is leaving! Anyway... Breathe... All will be well.

kimberley replied: i remember that anxiety lol. you will do just fine, i know it! hang in there.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Thanks guys! I feeling a bit better today. Miss Jordan made sleeping a bit difficult last night, but I did manage to get some. It seems she had a bit of gas. She's sort of sleeping right now which is amazing because her big sister has decided to pull out all of the loud toys today. Anyway I know this will be all right. You guys are great.
