The past 5 days have been pretty action packed! Delivery, going home, nights with a newborn, visitors and learning to manage 2 kiddos...all in 5 short days...whew! While tiring and full, the past few days have been WONDERFUL. I just LOVE having a newborn again and am trying to cherish all the little moments with Stratton. He is doing well...just starting to come out of his "newborn coma"...opening his eyes more and of coarse, crying more too! But overall he is just great and loves to be swaddled tight and held close. Natalie is doing well too...she has been looking for more attention from her mommy than usual and lets me hold her like a baby...aww...can you blame her? A lot of adjustment for a 2 year old! She has been very gentle and sweet with Stratton. She likes to give him kisses and gets concerned when he cries. Wes has been a HUGE help and has kept Natalie entertained while I have been taking care of Stratton. We are going to try to get into a routine this week and have appointments, etc that will make us do just that! Here is a recap of our last few days...
Getting ready to leave the hospital...
We feel very loved! Thanks for all the visits and thoughtful gifts!!
Car ride home
Big sister Natalie and her new brother...precious!
We saved this birthday gift from GiGi and PaPa to give to Natalie when Stratton 1st arrived home
It has been a MAJOR hit! Amazing how Natalie understands her "mini" house...walking the people up the stairs, making the mommy and daddy hug, making the bed, arranging furniture, etc... THANKS mom and dad...this has been great for Natalie
Our typical "set up"....Stratton on the dining room table...Natalie up and about playing
Me and my kiddos! (Natalie -watching tv- exhausted after swimming in the pool!)
3 Generations....MiMi, Aunt Brooke and Great Grandpa B came to visit this weekend. Stratton is Grandpa B's 23rd GREAT grandchild!
Natalie breaking in Stratton's vibration seat...thanks for passing this down to your brother, Nat ;)
1st family outing...Olga's and Shakes :)
Daddy and Natalie's tradition...sharing a milkshake
How do you handle a 2year old's energy? Run her on the football field of coarse! HA
We just love this little guy!
