Episode 2329:

Shawna Scafe shares the roller-coaster of emotions and lessons learned after having two children back-to-back.

Quotes to ponder:

"I needed to realize that having one wasn’t as hard as I was making it out to be."

"The beautiful thing about being a mom is that every day you are drained of everything: time, patience, energy, love. But every day there is more."

"When you find out you are having another baby you will wonder if you have enough. Enough love, enough patience, enough energy, enough time."
