i'll have to say that despite needing some consecutive hours of sleep, it is wonderful having a baby in the house. there's always someone to snuggle with...
aunt ash surprised us last weekend and came to meet her newest nephew....
and mama c. is still with us....thank heavens! i'm still on pain meds and can't drive, so she's been driving ms. daisy :)
both emma and carson are doing wonderful with mr. landon. both of them have taken to having a new baby and a recovering momma much better than anticipated. they love him to pieces...sometimes even a little too much :)
the paci is helping him enjoy his baths a little more, and oh how i love his sweet baby hands...
we love clean babies too :)
and we are very blessed...
and thoughts on who he looks like?
this morning rolled around, and let me just tell you, we were a hot mess. there were three adults in the house, and let's just say you wouldn't have known it...ha! it was sweet emma's 7th birthday. we had plans to make pancakes, but rob and i bailed on those at about midnight the night before. we. were. so. tired. plan b was donuts. but...we overslept, so we woke up to mama c. busting out a round of pancakes with. no. time. to spare.
by the time she had gotten home from school, we were a bit more together. emma picked chick-fil-a for dinner, which wasn't my choice, but it was fast and close. both necessities for a new nursing momma. my mom kept little landon...for me, cfa is a bit too germy for a two week old :)
we made some sort of carb loaded brownie dessert...
and sang to my sweet baby girl...
it seems like just yesterday that she was two weeks old...
she made her very special wish...
and opened her gift. it was a big sister necklace :)
all in all it was a good day. by the end of it, we were all exhausted. although, i think i woke up that way. our day was spent at my two week check up, followed by landon's two week check up (check the side bar...he is a BIG boy!!), and then we ended the afternoon back at the hospital for landon's pku. not fun, but glad to have it all behind us :)
and very grateful to be a healthy family of five...some days, i look in the rear view mirror of my car, see three bobbing heads, and am not quite sure how all of this happened. we are happy. healthy. complete. blessesd, and grateful for each of our days that keep passing us by ever so quickly.
happy two weeks little landon. we love you more than you'll ever know.
