Max and Me

Well, you may think I'm crazy, but I told Josh I didn't mind if he left for two nights so he could go to his college friends reunion this weekend. Since my mom had the older kids it would just be Max and myself. Friday night after he left I started thinking, what have I done? I can barely walk around the house let alone be here by myself with a newborn for two days. 

It has actually been really nice. At times I'm tempted to do too much and not rest but I've enjoyed the time alone and getting to know Max. He continues to eat and sleep great...

Now please can I have my hubby home?

Super Nana

If you didn't know, this is my mom and she is Super Nana! 

She has for the majority of the past week been mom to Jack and Ellie. She even took them to the cottage for the weekend so I could have a few more days of rest. 

I am so thankful and blessed to have her close and to have her in my life. 

She is both mom and a best friend.

As a Nana, she has a very special and different kind of relationship with each Jack and Eleanor and I'm certain Max will be one lucky guy to have her too.

Thanks for everything you've done this week. 

I love you Mom!

Visits galore...

Max has had a big day.  Eat, sleep, get passed around like a hot potato.  It sure does feel like an election day, what with all of the kissing of babies going on in here.  My favorite part was Jack and Eleanor getting to meet their little brother.  Before the birth, Ellie was dead-set on a "gil" baby and said she would "give back" the baby if it were a boy...fortunately, she seemed happy enough today and even gave the baby a few kisses.  Lucky for her, our princess is the only "gil" and she will be treated as such.  See pics below of some of the choice visits.  - Josh
