2 Weeks Old

The first two weeks are the worst. Your body is still recovering from delivery, all the organs are shifting back into place, you are exhausted, your breasts are extremely sore and unpredictable. The baby just wants to nurse, all the time, you have to take care of his little man parts and his belly button, and worry about infection. Older siblings need to adjust and learn that mommy can't always help when they want her too. But once 2 weeks hit things are starting to get better, they aren't perfect but your body feels better, the older siblings have mostly adjusted (they still have their moments) your nursing feels like it is more under control and you start to get into a routine. During the crazyness you have these little moments of "ahhh" this is nice. Like this moment when Maddy and Ian are looking at each other completely content, Maddy was singing to him and he was loving it. (note the cute headband she is wearing, yeah that is mine that my SIL made for me, Maddy stole it and thinks that it is hers now)

Here is another picture of them, Maddy loves it when I put him next to her and ask her to watch him.




And moments like this when you are napping with the baby and you can't fall asleep because you can't stop looking at how cute he is!


I think we are going to survive this 3rd kid just fine :)

Here is a picture of Ian and his cousin Elizabeth (who is 3 months older)


my sister and I were trying to recreate this picture we took of Madelyn and her cousin Ben who were a month apart.


It is so fun to have kids with your siblings! We only live an hour apart and we just can't seem to get enough of each other. Now that the older kids are 2 and can play together it give us such joy to watch them have fun.
