Happy Mother's Day, everybody! I hope you all have a great weekend! But before you take off and enjoy your children - I need some motherly advice!!  :)

This will be my second Mother's Day. Emmy was 4 weeks old last year - and now look at her!! She looks so much like her dad!

   

 I can't believe she is walking, almost talking (she does baby sign language), and is definitely independent (wonder where she gets that from!!). And now, in about 6 weeks, my second daughter, Lily Rae, will arrive.

It's strange because I am nervous all over again about having a baby in the house. Emmy has grown up so much - and now there will be another tiny little baby with us. But my main concern is having two children so close together (14 months apart). I don't want to push Emmy to be a "big girl" and grow up - afterall she is still a baby, too. But I also don't want to treat the girls like they are twins. Emmy is the big sister and Lily Rae will always be the baby sister.

So - all you Moms (and Dads)- any advice?? And I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!

Not to worry, Emmy will take on the role of "big sister" automatically. It's when they get to be 7 and 8 you have to worry about....lol.

Emmy is a beautiful child no wonder you're so proud of her.

You'd better worry about 14 and 15!!! Hahahaha! I have cousin who is exactly 12 months and 2 days older than his sister. They quarrel...nonstop, but then again most siblings do. But, when they are that close together, I think the rivalry is advanced.

The first thing they say, "Who do you think YOU are? Who are you to tell me what to do? You're not the boss of me! (I love that one) You are ONLY a year older than I am!"

Hahahahaha!

Don't worry, Heather...it'll all work out.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I anchor the 6 and 9 p.m. news – along with my dear friend and "work husband" Steve Eagar. Together we have won Edward R. Murrow, AP, and Katie Awards (Thanks for carrying me, Steve!). And I won an Emmy for Best Anchor. But now I have a new role - Mommy! Jeff and I have two little girls - Emmy (Jeff said I have an Emmy - so he wants one, too!) and Lily Rae. The girls are 14 months apart so we definitely have our hands full! But it's wonderful!! I also want to tell you about my volunteer work - speaking to groups about suicide awareness. I lost my former fiance’ to suicide and recently published a book called "Surviving Suicide." You can find out more about that at www.heatherhays.com. Playtime is spent with the cutest chocolate lab ever, Rosco, and my amazing husband, Jeff - and of course, Emmy and Lily Rae. Thanks for checking in and have a great day!
