Life these days


I cannot express how blessed I feel. I absolutely love having 2 kids. My heart is full!

Ever since baby Huck joined our family, life has been busier, for sure, but so great. Grey adores her little brother and you can tell that heloves her. He fits so perfectly in our family. I love kissing his pudgy cheeks and I LOVE it when his little hand wraps around my finger. I can't wait for my whole family to meet him.

It has been 2 weeks since he was born and we are both doing great. He weighs 7 lbs 11 oz! I hope he gets real chubby. :) He is sleeping pretty good....still a little confused on his day/night schedule. He does NOT like getting his diaper changed, but he LOVES it when I wash his hair. Grey loves to hold him and tell him stories and sing him songs. It just melts my heart watching her look at him and smile at him. He has lots of dark hair and gorgeous blue eyes. (he got those from daddy!)

We feel very blessed to have had great doctors throughout this process and that he got here safely. As most of you know, we chose to go with another c-section. I prayed about it and I just felt like it would be ok. I worried about the recovery, but felt like the vbac would not be the right choice for me. I'm so glad we went through with the c-section. The doctor ended up finding 2 tumors on my right ovary and a large cyst on my left ovary. They removed my right ovary completely and removed the cyst on my left. Had we not had the c-section, I would have been in a lot of pain in the coming months and would've had surgery anyways. I'm so glad we got that all over with in one surgery and everythings gonna be ok. I'm also glad we have insurance...yikes!

I still have a lot of recovering to do....I'll be slow goingfor a while and can't do everything I want to do, but I'm grateful to have a husband who is willing to jump in and help and friends that are there for me as well. I'm just happy that Huck was born healthy! 2 healthy, beautiful kids....I'll take the pain for that!

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment:
