Boys Birthday
"We both turned six today...
...at the same time."
They couldn't quite understand why we didn't have their party today.
"But today's our birthday."
"Yes, but today is a Tuesday."
"So?" I had this conversation today more times than I can count. But they did get new leapster games and legos and I didn't hear a peep out of them for the rest of the night.

6 Days Old...
How we are doing...
Joshua is...
Happy and very content. He was from day one.I couldn't ask for a better baby. The nurses would come in and ask how he was doing and if he was letting me rest. I would tell them, yes, that he hardly cries and how peaceful he is. "Well, they're all like that for the first day or so." Oh, no, no they are not. But this little guy, he's just such a sweet boy.
The girls are...
So in love with this baby. They are constantly arguing over whose turn it is to hold him. And they will lay with him on the couch and snuggle for hours. Cradle? What do we need a cradle for?
Grace is...
Adjusting. Slowly. She absolutely loves her brother but isn't as gentle as I'd hoped she'd be. She jumps in the cradle with him and puts toys on his face. And she has been very whiny. But she's getting better, she's figuring it all out. I will feel a whole lot better in a few months when he's a little more durable.
The boys are...
Ecstatic. They are so excited to have a brother. They are old enough now to realize that in a year or so they will have another playmate. Not so much the helpers as their sisters were at the same age (they're boys after all) they have been helpful in that they are caring for themselves more.
Jacob, when he first met Joshua in the hospital, saw the little white pimples on his nose and pointed out to everyone his cute "frickles".
When he held him for the first time, he said "He doesn't know where he is. All he knows is inside a lady."
:)
And I am...
Recovering. Every day gets better and better. We went for a little stroll around the yard this morning and enjoyed the warmth and sunshine. And I have been enjoying all this snuggle time.
I'm also bored, as silly as that sounds. Don't get me wrong, I am loving every minute of this quiet time with our new baby. But I am not a sit around kind of person. I have a desire to be productive in some way but my body just wont allow it. It's frustrating.
But this is such a brief time, I know, so I will get over it, sit myself down with my little boy and relax.

Here's just a few of my favorites so far because I can't wait to share. But I'm still pretty tired and don't feel much like sitting at the computer so I will add some more later. In the meantime, enjoy...
Jacob won the quiet prize in Sunday school - a little stuffed dog. So he came home and wrapped it up right away as a gift for Joshua. He was very excited about his little present. When they came to visit on Monday, he asked how he would open it. So he gave the present to Grace to open for him. But she wouldn't open it, she just kept trying to give it to the baby. She knew who it was for.
