“Our first few weeks were a bit of a blur,” the couple told People about welcoming their second daughter. “Lots of love, very little sleep, and a healthy dose of stress. We seem to have forgotten how small newborns are — it seems impossible our oldest was ever that tiny! There have been plenty of family snuggles, though, which helped make the exhaustion easier to handle.”
“Going from one child to two has changed the rhythm of our household and required a new level of time management,” Julie and Chris admitted. “Though despite the juggling act and a few expected (and unexpected) bumps along the way, we are slowly finding our new rhythm.”
