Little Sugar



Can you stand the sweetness of this little boy? Ugh, I just love him!

I think it certainly helps that I feel this way about our little guy, because the past two weeks, my entire world has revolved around him. It isn't that I haven't been able to get anything else done, it's just that everything else I do has to bend to his needs. Luckily, Neil isn't too demanding-- he mostly just whimpers when he is hungry and is content to sit and look around for a while when he is awake. He wakes up a couple of times at night, but goes right back to sleep when he is finished eating, so I have managed to get some decent rest myself. So far, Neil has been a dream.

So, after nearly two weeks, I think we're getting into a fairly normalized routine again. Chris went back to work this week, and although I had imagined that my world would implode without him here at night, we actually did okay. I even did laundry! I know, Super Woman, right? Well, almost. Ha.

I love the picture of sweet little Neil. And I'm so glad you've been able to rest. My baby sister just had her first baby on Sunday, and I got to see him at the hospital--they are so precious. I'm glad Neil has such a sweet Mommy!

I love love the new background, and love love the sweet baby boy. I definately think my 3rd has been my easiest and happiest kid. I adore my Bridger so much. You are super woman if you are already getting to the laundry. I don't do that and Bridger is a year old already!

You ARE superwoman! Man, I think we're just barely getting "normalized" around here and my baby will be 3 in two weeks! I think little Neil is looking more and more like Thomas. So cute.

I love a little sugar! You sound like you are doing great! He is so sweet! Laundry is always the hardest task to tackle so if your able to do that with a newborn and two others you're awesome!!!

I've been meaning to write to tell you what a cute baby you have--as if you didn't know that already. I'm so glad you are feeling okay. Just remember, when you get dressed and start doing laundry, your family think you are ALL better, so they don't help anymore. My advice: stay in your robe all day, moan now and then, lay the gratitude for any help you get on really thick, so it keeps coming...you get the point. Good luck.

He looks very sweet. Congratulations! I always wonder, after I have a baby, how we lived without them in our lives. It just so amazing to me. Crongrats again and I love your background.
