smiles

Whew! I haven't had a spare second to blog in a long time. With Mike working fulltime and the kids being night owls I don't get much of a break to sit at the computer. But I wanted to post this cute picture of their smiles. Ian is pulling a funny face here but it is still cute.

Could they be related?

So I thought it was funny that we have pictures of both our kids at the same age with this weird hand position. Neither one was posed! As their mother, I still think they are cute even with the weird hand thing.

Happy Birthday Eliza

I just wanted to post this cute picture of 8 day old Eliza and 2 1/2 year old Ian. Aren't they cute together? I found an 8 day old picture of Ian and they look exactly alike! I couldn't believe it! So she may lose her beautiful black hair and turn blond just like him. I am getting lots of rest thanks to Jan and my mom, they have been huge helps with Ian. He is adjusting really well, he doesn't pay too much attention to her right now but does ask to hold her every now and then. He does get upset that I can't pick him up right now because of my stitches but other than that he has been an angel. Eliza sleeps more than Ian ever did, even as a newborn. She is eating well and gaining weight and only has a little bit of jaundice. We all love holding her and taking care of her.

6 more days....

Only six more days until baby number 2 comes.... I can't believe it's already time! I've already packed up the maternity clothes I borrowed from a friend and am just wearing my same few shirts over and over again. My hospital bag is mostly packed. The car seat is in the car. The crib is set up and the clothes are in the drawers. I still need to mop my kitchen floor. But maybe the baby won't notice all of Ian's food spilled on it...I have one more doctors appointment today before the big day on Monday. My biggest worries are my recovery and hoping Ian adjusts well to being a big brother.
