November Update!!





Okay, so I have been TERRIBLE about updating and we are SO busy these days, so I am going to shoot for a once a month update so I don't feel overwhelmed, but I may update more if I can find the time!!

November brought...

NEW BABY CONNOR DAVID!! Born on 11/3 (my late mom's birthday-yay!!) at 5:20 p.m.. Labor was WAAAY better this time around-still labor, but much shorter and the pain medicine worked, our doula was awesome and Connor arrived in 3 short pushes of under 10 minutes...!
He weighed in at 8.6 and 21 inches...he's growing like a weed already and is up to 10.4. He's already had his first cold which had me in a panic, but he seems like he's handling it fine (went back to dr. today) and I just tell myself he's building up his immune system!

Ella has had a difficult time adjusting...terrible 2's have also hit hard with many "no's" and temper tantrums throughout the day!
I have felt guilty, overwhelmed, sad, and frustrated with caring for two little people totally dependent on me all day and night, but also very happy that we have two healthy kids and I know in time we will all settle into a routine!

Connor has been sleeping well so far-feed him at 10:30 and then around 2:30 and 4:30 and sleep until 7-ish then I have to get up no matter what since Ella is up!
We are tired, but so thankful that he is here and healthy!

Here are a few pics and I'll post more soon...Ella is awake from her nap...
