Family

I have been so pleasantly surprised with how wonderful Avery is with Jacob. She is very patient with me as I feed and change him throughout the day, and she loves to give him hugs and kisses and hold him. Never once has she seemed upset by his presence or frustrated with a lack of attention. I am so very lucky!







I also must mention that my husband is incredible and such an amazing dad...not to mention super good looking!



Jake is such an easy baby. Avery was a very easy baby too, so we really thought we couldn't possibly be so lucky twice, but alas, we are! I nurse him every 3 hours during the day (or whenever he wants) and then he'll sleep 4-6 hours straight at night, then nurses and sleeps another 2-3 hours. I've started putting him in his crib for the first stretch, this was the exact same age I did this with Avery too. I can't believe how similar they are, or maybe it's me...not sure.

The biggest change HAS been me...now that I am not working, I am so much more relaxed all the time, and happier! With Avery as a newborn I was instantly heart broken with the idea of leaving her. I also had to start building up a freezer stash of milk too to prepare for my return to work. I pumped 3-5 times a day for almost a year with Avery while working...so with Jake I have stayed as far away from my pump as possible! Lol. I have pumped enough for a few outings and can easily replenish that if/when needed.

I get my first girls night this coming week to see Harry Potter on my birthday...30, yikes! ;-) I have to admit though, I really have had no strong desire to be away from my kids yet. I know it's good for me though...and for Hunter to have one on one time with his babies!

I must say 30 is looking to be one of the best years of my life...can't imagine being any happier!




Love to all!
