the one week specifics

The first day home was scary. Zeke started the relationship with his brother with a "how could you" look & quickly added some attempted slaps. But then we slept on it and have since:


gotten acquainted






shared kisses






gotten really curious






& inspected toes.




Jeremiah didn't really enjoy his first bath






but smells much better now:)







In all honesty, it's been very frustrating. J has gone from eating day & night every hour for the last 2 days to spending 98% of today sleeping... He's a cute little guy but it's hard to appreciate him fully when he's hollering constantly & eating when he's not. My mom is here still & she's been so encouraging. I would have lost my mind without her.



To help regain sanity, we headed to the park today and enjoyed some time with Uncle & Aunt





a first swing ride



& two doting Grandmas:)

Moms are awesome!

The boys will become best friends. Zeke wont even remember he was an only child. I love watching my boys hang out as grown men. They have had thier ups and downs but they still like being together!

It's going to be GREAT!

Yep, this part STINKS! I'm not really looking forward to the newborn stuff again. But, you will survive it. Just keep repeating that to yourself. Make sure you look for ways to get sanity (like leaving the house by yourself!) and don't let yourself think that life will always be this way. It won't. You won't even remember the stinky parts of it all in a year or two :) And then you'll do it again! HA!

I'm so glad he is finally sleeping for you! Did you try giving him a bottle then?
LB is right... you will have forgotten how horrible it is in a few years ... and then you'll do it all over again!=D I am glad yoou have help.
