Life with two kids is certainly different from life with only one. The only time you get a break is when they're sleeping, and by that point you just want to sleep too. I wouldn't trade it for anything, though.
Yesterday was the first day I ran since B was born. I'm still taking it easy, and Puff and I did four miles. I still wasn't back at work yesterday either, so we ran at about 11 am. After a little break this past weekend, the heat and humidity are on their way back. I only ran for a little more than a half-hour and was soaked by the time I finished.
Today I did go back to work. I'm easing in, only working two days this week. I ran a little this morning before work, but only twenty-two minutes and change. I don't know what was up with my stomach, but it didn't feel good and caused me to cut the run short. I was surprised I wasn't more tired, given my lack of quality sleep over the past few days. Not only do we have a new baby, but he has jaundice and we've been waking up to feed him every two to three hours to make sure he gets enough to eat.

Somehow, you'll get through it. And when you do, you'll be a helluva lot stronger. Something about being a parent that gives people an ability to get through it all--even on 3 hours of sleep.
I do wish the weather would ease up, though. VA's had a brutally humid summer so far.
Yeah, I know I'll get through it. It's already a little better now that we don't have to wake B up to eat and he can wake up on his own when he's hungry.
I can't wait for the weather to ease up either.
