What they don’t tell you after you have a second kid.
My husband and I were college sweethearts. I couldn’t wait until the day I would get to be called Mrs. Olmos. That day came on a beautiful evening in June 2011. On the heels of celebrating our two year anniversary, our precious son Paxton was born. Fast forward to January ’16 when we welcomed the…
