and then there were four

Depending on the hour, I'm either thinking....

"It's already been two weeks?!"

or

"Has is only been two weeks?"

The first week was full of visitors and was super busy. Our freezer is still full of meals from all the awesome people who brought dinners, which has been very nice considering there are still some laundry items that haven't made their turn to the wash for the last two weeks. Yet I'm doing laundry everyday. Newborns dirty way more laundry than toddlers do.

Last Sunday (the 31st) was my birthday and my Grandparents came up for lunch. It was so nice to have them over to spend time with James and meet Noah.


That night my parents and some siblings came over for dinner, I think it was the first time since I was a teenager I've spent my actual birthday with them. Crazy how time flies!

James went up to Idaho Falls with my parents for a few days, and had lots of fun. I cried for a while when he left,  (it was the first time he'd been away from me for more than 12 hours and more than 5 minutes away)  but it was nice to only have to worry about keeping one child clean and fed.

James loves his little brother and smothers him with kisses. Whenever Noah cries James asks "What's wrong?" and tries to "help".
It's pretty cute most of the time.

Noah had his 2 week check up yesterday and is doing great!
Weight- 8lbs 3.5oz  55%
Height- 20 1/2 in.   75%
Head Measurement 14 1/4 in. 50%

So as exhausted as I am, I'm enjoying all three of my guys.


But I definitely wouldn't start asking when #3 is coming, I might kick you.
