Time to catch up!

     As you can see it has been a very long time since I last wrote anything on here. So I thought I should fill you in on what has happened in the last 4 months! As most of you know we had our baby boy on May 27th! He is a very healthy and happy baby! He weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz. and was 19.75 inches long! With having a c-section we were in the hospital all weekend and got to go home on Monday. Life with two kids is absolutely AMAZING! Sure, we have our good days and bad days but there is no greater love than the one a mom has for her children. When we brought our littlest guy home it was rough adjusting to the wake up call every 2-3 hours in the middle of the night. I was lucky and had my mom and mother-in-law here for the first two weeks to help wrangle Colin which was great! After we settled in and got used to the next few weeks with a newborn everything kind of became a whirlwind which happens when you are sleep deprived :) Around 8 weeks we finally got Emerson to "sleep through the night" which is about a 5-6 hour stretch and to a sleep deprived person those 5-6 hours are the best hours of sleep ever! Since then our littlest man has made it to sleeping 11-12 hours at night which is great! Having him on a schedule makes for one happy family! I love watching him grow and now interact with people...especially Colin! They are so cute together. Emerson smiles and laughs when he sees a familiar face. Our next goal is to get him to roll from his tummy to his back...the only problem is he likes to be on his tummy and doesn't have any interest in rolling over! Well I guess that is a pretty quick summary of the past 4 months. My next project is planning Colin's 3rd Birthday Party! Where has the time gone?
