Euphoric

A doula friend of mine posted this on FB a while ago and it makes me laugh every time I see it...maybe next summer I will be in our yard doing such pose with nursling. The shock it would put on our neighbors face would be worth it!

Things are in a definite adjustment period but truthfully things are awesome. Things are very busy and some moments I just have to tell myself to relax a little, I will get my niche. The floors don't have to be done everyday and sure a little dust on the TV stand and side tables never hurt anyone. Teeth brushing is a nice benifit and sitting down and eating a meal are things of the past that will return someday:-) Really just enjoying these two is my job and anything else I can manage to fit in is a bonus. Like posting a blog today.

Overnight Mason became HUGE...a real kid to me. It hit me like a ton of bricks.  Mason is adjusting:-) He can't seem to sit still and its as if he feels awkward...like he doesn't quite know his place in our family. I asked him last night "what's going on, you can't sit still?" he responded "you don't hold me anymore!" UGH!!!

He loves Max (thank God) but has been luke warm with us...its breaking my heart. I miss him. I feel torn. I know things have changed.  He is no longer our only prince and for a 3 almost 4 year old that is rough. I know time will make it better but for now I am doing my best to find little moments to hug and snuggle him as best as I can.

Here are a few pics of Max at the Peds office yesterday. See all the goo on the table...goo and poo..that is what he does...eats, sleeps, goos and poos...AND I LOVE IT!

At 12 days Max is a nursing, snuggling, and easy baby and so far, tall just like his brother, 90th percentile. Our Pediatrician told me my boys could be the next football brother duo, he said they will be between 6'4" and 6'7". I could care less as long as they are healthy and happy but I think their sports loving Dad was excited to hear that news.

Isn't he just the cutest?

39 weeks and nesting

We can just call this 39 weeks since I am officially 39 weeks tomorrow. Mr. Max has been giving me quite the go around the past few weeks but is staying nestled in his "mommy hot-tub."  I was pretty sure he was coming Saturday night as I timed contractions for 8 hours...they were only 8 minutes apart and that was not enough to go to L and D. So I sat up reading and watching re-runs of NY med until the wee hours. By Sunday afternoon they started to decrease and eventually stopped.  I am pretty sure we will make it to our Friday date but anything is possible, right?

One of the best side effects of being pregnant has to be "nesting!" My house is organized and super clean and I have been cooking up a storm. Trying to have a supply of frozen meals for the next month. Lasagna, enchiladas, A LOT of homemade green chile, crock pot ready meals, breads, healthy muffins, ect...It feels like we have checked everything off the list.

NOW ALL WE NEED IS THE BABY!!!
