Day 264

The backyard's looking awful these days! The last few weeks of my pregnancy, I stopped going out and watering the flowers. And the grass is ehhhh. Not as green as I like it! So I decided this morning that it was time to make I pretty again. Rian, Asher and I went to Lowe's (AJ spent the night with Grandpa and Grandma) to get some flowers.

Pooped out helper before we even began!

 

They only had a few types of flowers, and luckily, they're kind I know I can keep alive... if I just don't get lazy again. But I don't see that happening.

 

Later that night, we all watched The Sandlot together. Steven got it a few weeks ago and has been so excited to show Aiden, who loved it, of course!

Day 263

Umbilical cord and circumcision ring have both fallen out, which means:

No more being wiped down with a wash cloth!

 

Asher loved it. I've always loved bathing my babies, especially in sinks! So cute.

Day 262

It's taking Asher forever to open his right eye! It opens a little more every day though. And it's almost always wide open during his second nighttime feeding.

He is SOOO cute!

Today Titi, Oliver and Renai came over for a visit. So good to catch up and be around other grown ups! Oliver played with the kids, soo fun!

Day 261

Mommy's little helper!

I was nervous about how Rian would react to a new baby being around, but she's been 100% normal. No better, but more importantly, no worse. She wants to help me with everything, so I try to let her as much as I can. She hugs and kisses him all day and always asks to hold him, and of course, wants her picture taken with him constantly. :)

My little man's two weeks old already. I don't want time to go any faster than it already is, but I'm so excited to watch the bigger kids relationship with Asher grow. I love watching them all together. So blessed!

Day 260

Daddy and his two littlest babies.

I love Sundays and Mondays (Steven's days off) now more than ever! When Monday comes to an end, I have a little bit of dread in my gut. Our days haven't been too hard yet, Asher still sleeps most of the time, but there are challenging moments and it's nice to not have to deal with them for a couple of days. Steven's dad has been picking AJ up from school since we came home from the hospital, so thankful! I'll get brave enough to try it out soon.

Day 259

Love. Love. Love

I'll get back to posting pictures of my other kids one of these days. ;)

Day 258

I don't know if I mentioned in here (I'm trying to catch up!)... after my milk came in, Asher stopped latching on my right side. So he eats from and I get the most milk from my left side when I pump. I'm going to be lopsided soon- yikes! Oh well. 

I have just over 100oz in the freezer already. Pretty exciting stuff!

And my first glass of wine since December. :)
