My mom left today after helping me recover and holding down the fort here. I am so grateful for all she has done - she is amazing! I could have kept her here another month! When we got home from the mall and dropping my mom off Andrew came in the house and said "where are you..." He was looking for his Grammy. Poor little boy, he is going to have to get used to not having his Grammy here. He has really enjoyed their playtime together!
Well, tonight Bryan had to work so I was left here alone with the two boys...I have to admit I have been a little overwhelmed with all that is going on, but that is a whole other story. I am proud to say that things have gone smoothley. Andrew was bathed, fed, and is in bed. Carter has been an angel all evening and only crys when he has a little gas bubble or is hungry.
I had some moments tonight that really made me smile and made me know why being a mother is so worth it. Carter gets hiccups ALL the time...poor baby. Well, I was sitting on the couch nursing and he had the hiccups - the hard kind, you know, the ones that hurt when they come. Anyhow, Andrew came and sat next to me and I heard a little hiccup from him! He thought it was so funny. So there I was nursing with my two hiccuping boys - Andrew was quite entertained to say the least. So cute!
Later on I was holding Carter and attempting to wake him up to eat and Andrew came over to check out his baby. He loves to look at his face and was even kissing his nose today - it was just about the sweetest thing ever, but this time Carter was squinching his eyes and Andrew was copying him. If he opened his mouth Andrew would do that too - it was so cute!! Andrew is so observant and always wants to know where the baby is. I am so in love with these two little boys.

I'm so happy for you that you have TWO cute boys. Hope you can not feel so overwhelmed! I'm sure it is a lot all at once when you have a baby!
Wow. It seems like everything happened so fast for you guys these last few months. I hope everything keeps going well. Cute boys. Andrew sounds like he is a great big brother.
Those stories are so sweet! I'm so happy for you guys. Please let me know if you need anything. Having a new baby is an overwhelming and emotional time. Don't be afraid to let yourself feel what you need to feel.
Hey if you have a free hand get video of the copycat Andrew- ha ha- free hand... who am I kidding?
I am glad Andrew is loving his little brother. I know when I was there, he was more curious but I think he has realized Carter is part of the family and staying put! So fun that he is doing the 'copy cat' game!
