How are we doing?

I'll tell you how we are doing. You must be wondering how it has been here, I have started some posts and by the time I can get back to the post everything has changed! But now I have 2 kids, ahh!
To tell you the truth, around here the first couple of weeks with a newborn are like living in a manic depressive household, all of us; we are all a little nuts! For me, I forget that Nathan is not yet a month, so the word schedule means nothing to him. I am starting to feel better, less hormonal, most days. I am starting to work through what Nathan wants/needs when he is fussy. But more on that later, like in a couple of days!
Here are a couple pictures...this is from 4th of July. We had planned on going to see fireworks, but it was raining and then Nate's crying made us so exhausted we went to bed.


So you can see how much Gwen loves her brother, I think these pictures tell the story!


Gentle GWEN! We are still working on that pressing on his belly/head/any other vital organ is not cool! We are also working on she can't pick him up, no matter how much she wants to help Mommy! Pretty scary.

Showing Nate what he should be doing!

Don't worry - it all DOES get easier!! You look great in the photo! Glad Gwen is being such a helpful big sister.

Wow Melanie! You look great! I am jealous - still working on my looks after baby #3!

Going from 1 to 2 was harder on us than 2 to 3. We were so focused on Drew and Jack came in. With Bo, we were just like, 'whatever'...

Again - I am so impressed - CONGRATS!
