So I have been a mother to 2 kids for a little over 3 weeks now.  I’d like to say that this is a piece of cake…but clearly it is so easy because of my amazing nurse.  They’ll be a reassessment at a later date once she goes home…for now I’ll live in naive bliss!

Baby D,

You are an amazing little boy.  You love to eat, 4 oz every 3 hours!  You have been sleeping in 1 long stretch per night of anywhere between 5-6 hours which I would greatly appreciate if you continued that once Nurse C leaves.  kthx!  You love being on your belly.  Your favorite place to be is in the swing or in someone’s arms.  You love looking to the left!  You are super strong and super cute!  You are  a very tranquil baby and we only hear you grunt and moan when you have a dirty diaper.  You only scream (but WHAT a scream!) when you are ready to eat!  You smile at us and snuggle with us and we couldn’t be happier to have you in our family.  You are the best addition to this family since Miss A came along!

Miss A,

You, my little firecracker….you have been 3 years old for almost 2 weeks now.  I’m afraid to jinx anything, so I’ll wake the wood spirits & knock on some wood just in case!  You seem so much bigger now!  You are still your stubborn self, but most of the time you aren’t freaking out at the slightest hint of the word no!  You’re in a super silly mood most times and you like to torture us by using some weird language that sounds like animal noises!  You love checking on your brother and singing him lullabies.  You got your first real haircut and loved every second of it.  We had a little birthday gathering here at the house for you!  You played so nicely with all of your cousins!  You are so smart, and so sassy, and so so so amazingly loving.  You make my life better everyday.

I love these babies.
