Our crazy families

The latest…

Not too much has been going on this past week…just trying to get into a routine with the baby and get as much sleep as possible. Will’s waking up twice during the night which isn’t too bad – Tommy and I have been splitting the shifts so we can atleast get SOME sleep. Mom will be leaving on Friday so the real test will begin then…it’s been nice having another pair of hands to help with Henry. I’m still slowly recovering – my energy is up in the morning and then crashes down in the afternoon. We’ve been on a couple of walks which were a bit of a struggle, but it felt good to stretch my legs. I’m looking (very) forward to getting back to my workout routineĀ and fitting into my clothes again. šŸ™‚

Dinner time!

Last night was hilarious – I think Henry was feeling a little left out of the loop sinceĀ most of our attention has been toward the baby. So he suddenly got really cuddly and affectionate…even toward Will. We put the baby on his blanket to stretch out and Henry wanted to give him a hug. So I lifted up Will so Henry could hug him but instead of doing that, he kept running around in circles and kissing Will on the head as he passed by. Finally I pulled him in andĀ poor Will was squished a little bit.Ā It was pretty cute. Then Henry decided he wanted to feedĀ Will – so I gave him the bottle andĀ he would just stick it inĀ the babiesĀ mouth and then pull it right back out. Will wasn’t too thrilled by this so by the 5th or 6th time he just closed his mouth while Henry proceeded to try and stick it up his nose. Poor thing! I finally had to take it away and Henry was pissed of course but it made for some comic relief.

Henry had a bloody nose - why he has a huge white cotton ball sticking out of his nostril

One week old!

I can’t believe it’s already been a week since our little boy decided to show up 18 days early! He keeps amazing us everyday – He only woke up once last night! Wow! Hopefully this trend continues and we get back to our usual sleep schedule soon. Haha. I’m not that unrealistic…I’m just glad he seems to be sleeping well and gaining weight. He’s probably going to be a little chubster like Henry. That’s fine.Ā  I love chubby babies. šŸ™‚

Hey hey!

Cuties
All of us

 

 

 

Will and Henry

Henry has warmed up to the baby a lot recently. He gets up and looks around for him, sees where he’s at and then goes about his usual routine. We got them to roll around on the blanket for while the other day. Maybe I’m being optimistic, but I am THRILLED at how Henry has handled Will’s arrival. I thought it would be a nightmare, but it has been anything but! Yay.
