The easiest transition, the sweetest big sisters, and the newborn moments I wish I could freeze forever

I genuinely cannot believe I am writing this, but Hayes is officially one month old. 🥹

Everyone tells you how quickly the newborn stage goes, and somehow, even after doing this twice before, I still wasn’t prepared for just how fast it would feel this time around. The past month has been full of newborn cuddles, sleepless nights, lots of adjusting, and some of the sweetest moments as our family has settled into life as a family of five.

But what I least expected was that going from two kids to three has actually been the easiest transition yet.

The Transition From Two to Three

I know this might sound crazy, because before Hayes was born, I definitely prepared myself for the transition to three kids to feel like a lot. But in all honestly, zero to one was the most life-changing transition for me. Going from one to two was also tough in its own way. But two to three has genuinely felt like the smoothest transition out of all three of my pregnancies.
