A peek into our lives...

We are all adjusting to life as a family of four. I am feeling great considering that I just gave birth four days ago... I can hardly believe it. I pretty much feel normal, except for the expected sleepiness that comes from waking up to nurse during the night. God has been so gracious! My recovery this time around has been 100% better than when Jane was born!

Sweet Jane. She has really struggled with this whole "big sister" thing. The last couple of days have been pretty hard on her. She doesn't understand why I can't hold her while I'm feeding the baby, and is very jealous. She's had a bit of an attitude and is needing extra doses of love, attention and discipline. Praise God that Aaron is home to help me.



Aaron is AMAZING!! He has been SUCH a tremendous help with taking care of Jane, changing diapers, doing laundry, tidying the house and doing dishes. I am so thankful that he doesn't have to go back to work for a whole week, and then the day after he goes back to work, my mom will arrive from Texas. YAY!! I don't know how I am going to take care of two babies and a house all by myself; so far it's been a full time job for the two of us!!



Ryan is thriving. He is a champ at nursing and the proof is in the diaper. He consistently soaks through the newborn size diaper, and so he's already "graduated" to size one, even though we have to fold them down because they don't really fit. We've nicknamed him "Little Super Soaker" and "Sir Poops-alot"... oh, by the way, I didn't think newborn diapers were supposed to stink. I don't remember Jane having stinky diapers for a long time... Ryan's sure stink to high heaven!! Ever since he was a day old! Here is Aaron prepared for an inevitable diaper change session:



Even though Jane is very jealous of her brother, she is fascinated by babies in general, and Ryan is no exception. She still likes to do everything she sees us doing, and nursing is no exception.
