The 2nd Week

We were scheduled for a c-section today. Hard to believe we already have 2 weeks under our belt! The last two weeks have been crazy and honestly it hasn't been because of Brooks! He is a great baby. Other than a little bit of a rough night last night, he pretty much only cries when he is hungry or needs a diaper change! Yes, we would love to have more sleep, but that goes with the newborn territory! I had a couple of complications from the c-section that have been challenging, but hopefully they are behind us now. Several have asked how Drew is doing and today was a much better day! He had a few really rough days at the end of last week. We are really working with him and praying for him and knowing that with each day he will get more adjusted.
Daddy and Drew were supposed to be playing outside together but Daddy took the toys!
The closest thing to a smile I could get. He was much more interested in The Wiggles than taking pictures!

2 Weeks Old
Brooks had his 2 week checkup today. I am sooooo proud to say that he was 8lbs. 8 oz today! He was 7lbs. 4 oz. when we left the hospital. I had such a horrible time trying to nurse Drew that it is such a victory for Brooks to be nursing so well!

Drew looks so grown up now ... what a joy to see your family and follow your 'travels'. You are such a sweet blessing for me.

Are we twins because your life(delivering 2 weeks early, big brother having a bit of a hard time, easy 2nd baby, hard time nursing first baby, 2nd baby gaining a good amount of weight) sounds very much like mine!! Haha. Your boys are so stinking cute!!
