On Tuesday, November 5th at 8:01 am, our BBS who is now named William Thomas, was born into this world! he was a good healthy 8 lbs 9 oz. and 21 inches long. Good sized boy! My surgery went very well, I had a little pain when they were 'putting me back together' (yes like humpty dumpty!) but nothing a little shot of morphine wouldn't fix! :)
I am back to work today, yes, December 31st, how silly, but alas it is life and what I must do. Today I did not cry... I almost did, like 3 times. It is a weird thing, cause I don't think I would be a very good stay at home mom, and I actually like what I do (I know I am a weirdo), but it is still really hard to leave my little ones! William was giving me big smiles this morning in spite of his stuffy nose, and it melted my heart! I know he knows who mamma is, but it is still hard to leave him when he is so small.
The past 8 weeks have been very good, yes, Mike will tell you there were a few times when I got frustrated or had a bad hour or two, but I think I did pretty well overall! :) William is a good baby and will even sleep 5-7 hours for me at night! :) I hope this continues so that I can function at work! :)
Evelyn has been the best big sister, she loves her little brother with all her heart, it is so cute! She wants to help change his diapers, this consists of her putting cream on his butt, imagine her little pointer finger with like a pea-size amount of cream every so daintily putting cream on a baby's bottom! So cute! :) She showers him with kisses, even when I ask her to leave him be, cause he is sleeping. She is always wondering where he is and will be the first to say 'baby brother is crying' as if no one else can hear him! She wants to hold him a lot, but only for a few minutes. She is also really good at coming up with a plan for mommy to play with her, like, 'you can put baby brother in his bouncer and play with me' of course this is usually when I am nursing him or something! :) Whenever we leave the house she asks if baby brother is coming, and heavens forbid if I put her in the car first and go back into the house to get William's carrier, she is right away saying don't forget baby brother! :) She really has been a delight to watch grow as a big sister, if you ask her about herself, she says she is a good girl, she is a nastics (as in gymnastics) girl, and she is a big sister, she does a good job of summing up her amazing little life!
William has been a good eater, and seems to be growing leaps and bounds, I don't know his current weight for sure but I would think he has to be around 11lbs! :) he was 9lbs 11oz a his 1 month check up. He has been sleeping good and night, and if he is fussy it is usually cause he is fighting sleep but a little swaddling and bouncing with the magic 'butt pat' and he is out! :) So all in all he is a really great baby! I just love him so much already.
This week we started to get a few stuffy noses in the house! :( it is so sad when a baby has a stuffy nose, there is not a lot you can do but make them mad when you try to suck those buggers out! Thankfully Evelyn is a really good nose blower so that is a lot of help!
